Cappanaboul stone circle
The stone circle of Cappanaboul is located about southwest of Kealkill, east of Ballylickey, above the Cappanaboul Lough (lake) in the townland of Cappanaboul ( Irish Ceapach na bPoll , German "farmland of holes" ) in County Cork in Ireland . It is also named after the neighboring townland Brinny More or Breeny More, Na Bruíne Móra .
It's a well-preserved multiple stone circle . The archaeologist Seán Ó Nualláin calls the Irish group of multiple circles axial stone circles (ASC). Of the axial circle originally consisting of 13 stones, only nine are left. The axial stone and a portal stone are among the missing which make it difficult to see the alignment.
The slightly oval circle has a diameter of 10.2 by 9.3 meters.
