Grange Stone Circle |
|
| The circle is the largest in Ireland. It is 150 feet in diameter and is enclosed by 113 standing stones. The circle was built c 2000BC. It may be much older than this. |
The Circle is on Tim's farm. He told us to come out at sunrise on June 21st and we would see the sun rays shine directly across the circle. |
The largest, Ronnach Croim Duibh, is over 13 feet high and weighs 40 tonnes. The sun at sunrise on the Summer Solstice shines from the passageway directly across to v-shaped stones at the opposite side of the circle.
