Templebryan To reach this site you leave Clonakilty town centre on the north road that passes the police station. It is worth stopping off in the tourist office in town as they sell guides on the numerous sites in the region and can point you in the right direction to this circle as there is a one way system in the town. After about 1.5 miles you come to a junction just before the village of Shannonvale and you should see the tops of the stones over a wall on your left. There is no parking here but the road is reasonably wide.
This is quite a neat circle set right in a farmer’s field with crops right up to it. Four of the original nine stones still stand and there is one fallen. In the centre is a large block of quartz known as the sunstone, “Cloich Griene”, thought to be where the town of Clonakilty was named. The circle is just 9.5m in diameter and the remaining stones that stand are tall and flat topped.
