Glantane East


Glantane East is a megalithic complex situated from Millstreet, County Cork, Ireland. It is set in the Keel River valley on the north-west upper slopes of Musherabeg mountain, in the townland of Glantane. The complex includes a wedge tomb, two stone circles and a pair of stone alignments.
The wedge tomb is known locally as "The Flags" and is in height, with a capstone square resting on two sidestones and a backstone. Some of the double-walling remains in place while a stone is positioned between the two sidestones.
A stone circle lies in the field next to the wedge tomb. It is nearly in diameter with five standing and six fallen stones, some of which now lie in the surrounding ditch which is at least partly stone-faced. In the center of the circle is a large hole, where it is assumed a boulder or boulder-burial once stood. The remaining stones vary in height from and are surrounded by a wide fosse and low bank. Two tall pillar-like stones are situated along the outer face of the fosse and 8m to the south-east of the circle. One is fallen.
