Description
On a hill just off the road to Glandore (R597) can be found the Drombeg Stone Circle (National Monument) of 17 stones, which dates from about the beginning of the Christian era. In the center of the circle were found the burned remains of a human body, and a short distance to the west the remains of two round huts; these have been dated to the second-fourth century A.D. It is probable that the erstwhile inhabitants did not live here but hunted in the vicinity.
