Templebryan Stone Circle, Bronze Age stone circle in Clonakilty, Ireland
The stone circle features four tall standing stones with flat tops and a central quartz stone, measuring 9.5 meters in diameter.
Records from 1743 document nine standing stones at the site, while by 1837 only five stones remained in their original positions.
The central quartz stone, known as Cloich Griene or the sunstone, influenced the naming of the nearby town of Clonakilty.
The stone circle stands on private land 2.5 kilometers north of Clonakilty, requiring visitors to obtain permission from landowners before entering.
The four remaining stones concentrate in the eastern section of the circle, with one stone potentially functioning as an entrance marker.
