Breeny More Stone Circle

Breeny More Stone Circle is situated 1 km (0.62 mi) southeast of Kealkill, overlooking Bantry Bay to the west. Another stone circle lies 175 m (574 ft) to the northeast.[6][7][8]

Boulder burials of this type are believed to date from the middle Bronze Age, i.e. 1500–1000 BC.[9] The toponym is from the Irish brúine móra, "great dwellings of the fairies."[10][11]

This is a stone circle with four boulder burials. The circle has two entrance stones and an axial stone, with a main axis measuring 14 m (46 ft). It has a southeast–northwest axis, facing the rising sun.[12][13]

A "boulder burial" is a single large boulder sitting on three or four support stones; the term was coined by Seán Ó Nualláin in the 1970s. They are generally found in the southwest, and associated with standing stones and stone circles; some dispute that there were ever burial sites, as no human remains have ever been recovered.[9]
