Kealkil consists of a five stone circle two giant standing stones and a badly overgrown cairn (just to the right of image 3). To be honest (and sad to report) this is yet another site claimed to be under the care of the Office of Public Works. If this is so then it would appear that this along with many other megalith sites are not just considered to be of value to those who call the shots in the OPW.
With a little care this site would be totally stunning.
Cork has such a wealth of ancient sites...thanks for the info...
ReplyDeleteI know this site very well as it is very close to my family home. access has improved slightly over the past few years and the cairn got a bit of a clearing not too long ago, but I agree a lot more could be done to protect this place.
