Just outside Kenmare town centre is a spectacular example of a bronze age Stone Circle. This Stone Circle is reputed to be one of the largest remaining examples in the South West of Ireland.

The Kenmare Stone Circle is actually an oval (which is quite unusual) 17.4 x 15.8m in diameter. With 15 Stones in the circle and a boulder dolmen in the centre, which has an impressive capstone measuring 2m long x 1.8m wide. The Circle has been thought to have been orientated towards the setting sun.

Stone Circles were often aligned to specific solar, lunar and celestial events. Archaeologists believe that these events may have been linked to the rituals and ceremonies performed at the circles. However the changing nature of the night sky over the millenia makes it difficult to map the exact events charted by the Circles.
