Drumskinny

Drumskinny is a stone circle with 39 stones arranged in a roughly 13-meter diameter formation, with a central cairn at its heart. A line of stones extends westward, defining the site's orientation and shape.

Excavations in 1962 uncovered flint tools, scrapers, and pottery pieces pointing to use around 2000 BC. These discoveries show the site held importance for early communities during the Bronze Age.

The name comes from Irish Droim Scine, meaning ridge of the knife, linking the place to Gaelic roots. Walking around the stones, you notice how the location sits on elevated land that matches this ancient description.

The site has off-road parking and well-maintained gravel paths leading to the fenced stone formation. The paths are easy to walk and the entire site is accessible for people with varying abilities.

Seven stones in the circle bear Ministry of Finance monograms added during restoration work to mark their authenticity. These marks connect the ancient site to its more recent conservation history.
