Glebe Stone Circles, Stone circles in County Mayo, Ireland.
The archaeological site contains five stone circles within a quarter square mile, with the northeast circle featuring 23 stones measuring 16 meters in diameter.
Edward Lhuyd first documented these prehistoric monuments during his tour of Ireland in 1699, with William Stukeley later reproducing the unpublished drawings.
The native name Ciorcal Liag na Gléibe reflects the Irish heritage, while local traditions connect the site to the mythical Battle of Moytura.
Visitors need to park on the roadside and walk through fields to reach the circles, located 1.6 kilometers east-northeast of Cong village.
The Tonaleeaun circle stands out with its embanked recumbent stone structure and features an orthostat positioned at the western end.
