A Bit of History

Drombeg, also known as the Druid’s Alter,  is probably Irelands most famous stone circle. Situated east of Glandore in County Cork, it is an axial stone circle with the recumbent or axial stone lying to the south-west. The circle consists of seventeen pillar stones that are graded from the two large portal stones, each 2 metres high, at the north-east towards the axial stone. The pillar stones are local sandstone and the axial has two cup marks, and what looks like an axe -carving, on it’s upper surface. Its axis is orientated south west towards the setting sun.

Drombeg is one of the most visited megalithic sites in Ireland, and is protected under the National Monuments Act. It was excavated in 1958, when the cremated remains of an adolescent was found in a pot in the circle’s center.
