The stone circle is situated just outside the town, beside a quarry. There is a big hedge around it which keeps it secluded. It is a fine circle, but, in my view, does not have the sense of history and spirituality that you find at others such as Lough Gur. Despite that it is worth visiting More

I was traveling with my father and brother- my father and I had just been to Stonehenge, so we weren't expecting much from the Stone Circle in Kenmare. We were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful this circle was. On the day we went, there wasn't anyone in the info booth, but we put in our donation and walked along the... More

I sought out stone circles wherever I could...this particular one was fantastic. I stood in the center and had the most amazing feeling. I just felt like I was home. Such a blessing to be able to make this journey at all. The circle was easily accessible and wonderful. Im very much praying to be able to return this coming... More

Stayed for a week about 50m away and only decided to have a look the day we left. Glad we did as it is a very ancient and atmospheric place almost in the middle of town but screened by trees and entered by a long curved walk. Have visited a number of these in Europe and although this is small... More

The stone circle in Kenmare is a beautiful, ancient site in a picturesque spot just a few minutes walk from the centre of the town. However, I'd strongly recommend visiting it during the winter when you will have the site to yourself and not need to pay the 2E entry fee. It adds interest to a walk around Kenmare, but... More

Most stone circles we visited on our Ireland vacation were located in remote locations. Many were set in fields that required some effort to find. This one, however, is located immediately adjacent to the main shopping / dining area of Kenmare. The setting is serene -- a pretty field surrounded by trees. It is has not been commercialized, which is... More

One of many stone circles in ireland but this one is an easy walk from downtown Kenmare. Drop 2 euros each in the honor system box at the entrance and enjoy the site, especially the tree where people place personal items. More

This is worth walking to from Kenmare. There is a fee of 2 euros. It is simply a circle of stones set up apparently to mark the summer and winter solstices. Pretty grassy setting. Interesting but not exciting More
