Grange stone circle, Stone circle at Lough Gur, Ireland
The circle consists of 113 standing stones arranged in a perfect circle measuring 46 meters in diameter, surrounded by an earthen bank.
Archaeological excavations of the site revealed Neolithic Beaker pottery and human remains, indicating settlements dating back over 4000 years.
The entrance stones of the circle align with the summer solstice sunrise, marking important dates in the ancient Celtic calendar.
The stone circle remains open throughout the year, with guided tours available through the Lough Gur Heritage Centre.
Recent investigations discovered previously unknown carved patterns on the stones, documenting ancient marking techniques from the Neolithic period.
