Reananerre stone circle
The stone circle of Reananerre lies in the middle of a large field in the eponymous townland ( Irish Ré na nDoirí ) south of Baile Bhuirne in County Cork in Ireland .
The five- stone stone circle of the Cork-Kerry series is very small, oval and has a maximum diameter of 2.6 meters. The stones reach heights of 30 cm (the axial stone) to 85 cm.
A row of six stones with stone heights of 0.5 to 1.5 meters stands 120 meters southeast of the circle. It is divided in two by a field wall and a row of trees.
About 1.5 km northeast and 500 meters southeast of the demolished Gortanimill House is the stone circle of Gortanimill .
