DAY 11: Mallow to Coolcower

Leaving Ackworth B&B, Navigation Road, Mallow.
After a disappointing outing last time, I was so happy to see that Knockraheen's sites were obvious and large.

Knockraheen's white quartz standing stones!




White standing stones in the foreground and a five stone circle in background along the fenceline,
Knockraheen, Cork.

Knockraheen cairn in the same small field as the five stone circle.



All three ancient sites int he same photo (if you look closely).

Luckaduv wedge tomb, Cork.

The top stones is all that's visible.


You can just see the darkness of the entry at the tomb at Luckaduv, Cork.

The stunning Cork countryside.

The Scrahanard standing stone (near the gap in in the pine trees) and a fantastic dolmen (on the right).

Closer up of the Scrahanard standing stone.



The Scrahanard dolmen in the same field as the standing stone.  Can you imagine having this in your yard?

The Caherbaroul standing stones, Cork.

You can just see the two tall stones in the mid ground on the right.

Upgraded Stone Cottage at Caherbaroul, Cork.

It felt like the Cools standing stones jumped out in front of me.


Still at Cools, Cork.





A single stone (centre of picture) at Kylefinchin, Cork.


Taking a break at Cooltower B&B, Cooltower, Cork.
