Rows of stones from Cabragh
The stone rows of Cabragh ( Irish An Chabrach ) are north of Clondrohid between Millstreet and Macroom on the road to Carrigonirtane ( Carraig an Fheartáin , location of another row of 3 stones) above the River Foherish in County Cork in Ireland .
Cabragh South Stone Row
About 150 m east of the road is the 9.0 m long row of slightly sloping stones from Cabragh Süd, consisting of 6 stones, one of which is no longer completely upright and another, 2.75 m long, lies on the ground. The largest stone still standing is 1.8 m high.
Stone row Cabragh North
A few hundred yards north is Cabragh North. It is a series of four stones, which are about 3.3 - 2.75 - 2.4 and 2.1 m high and are grooved on the top, about one meter apart on the edge of an axial stone circle . There are more stone circles nearby. About 90 m away, on the same axis, there is a fifth stone, almost 1.5 m high.
To the north of the second row of stones, further up the mountain, there is a third, smaller row, also called Cabragh Nord.
In the nearby Town Country Clashmaguire ( Clais Mhig Uidhir ) is a stone couple according Isobel Smith "male-and-female" (sharp and flat) couples seem to fit into the category of.
