Knocknakilla, Prehistoric stone complex in County Cork, Ireland
The megalithic site includes a stone circle with five large stones, a radial cairn, and two portal stones on Musherabeg Mountain slopes.
The complex dates back to the Middle Bronze Age, around 1600-1800 BCE, when inhabitants constructed it for ceremonial and astronomical purposes.
The name derives from Irish Cnoc na Cille, translating to Hill of the Church, reflecting the historical significance of religious sites in the region.
Located between Macroom and Millstreet villages, the site offers free access and features a level patch of bogland overlooking a deep valley.
The stone circle contains five stones measuring 1.3 to 1.5 meters high, with a separate standing stone reaching 3.7 meters in height.
