R6340 : Grange stone circle
taken 15 years ago, near to Holycross, Co Limerick, Ireland
Grange stone circle
This stone circle was built about 2000 BC. It is the largest stone circle in Ireland, 50 yards in diameter. It has 113 stones which almost touch each other, different from others I have seen like Templewood stone circle in Scotland NR8297 : Templewood Stone Circle.
