}}Breeny More Stone Circle is a stone circle and National Monument located in County Cork, Ireland.[3][4][5]

Location

Breeny More Stone Circle is situated {{Convert|1|km|abbr=on}} southeast of Kealkill, overlooking Bantry Bay to the west. Another stone circle lies {{Convert|175|m|abbr=on}} to the northeast.[6][7][8]

History

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]

Description

This is a stone circle with four boulder burials. The circle has two entrance stones and an axial stone, with a main axis measuring {{Convert|14|m|abbr=on}}. 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]
