Today we have a wee puzzle from the Irish Tourist Association Collection. What appears to be a damaged cromlech with a gentleman sitting in the gap between the great stones. The only information on the image was Kerry/Dennehy so there it is, over to you and let's see if you can find it?

This one is Kerry/Skinner:

I am going to guess that Skinner and Dennehy are the folks taking the photos, both have multiple entries in the catalogue.

A catalogue search suggests there are 169 Kerry/Dennehy shots, 156 Kerry/Skinner of 386 total with ITA and "kerry/" I also see 56 Kerry/Quinlan

http://www.flickr.com/photos/184711311@N04/ That's the same site I used. I looked at all the Kerry, Cork and Limerick ones but nothing fits the bill.

I've been to that one, I reckon, if I could only remember where. With my Grandad and his cousin, I think, so possibly Waterford.

Here's a screen grab of a section of the NIAH map showing the zillions of archeological sites in just a small area north of Killarney.....tis like the place has measles. flic.kr/p/2oHao1Z

https://www.flickr.com/photos/91549360@N03/ Refining the search further shows about 50 ‘standing stone pairs’ in Kerry alone. Of course, ours could have a different designation

So I asked the brand-new Google 'Bard', "where in Ireland is this cromlech?" and copied in this image ... ... ... The cromlech in the image is located in the county of Cork, Ireland. It is known as the Leaba an Fheirte Moar, or the "Giant's Bed". It is a portal tomb, which is a type of megalithic tomb that consists of a large capstone supported by two or more upright stones. The Leaba an Fheirte Moar is one of the largest portal tombs in Ireland, and it is thought to have been built in the Neolithic period, around 4,000 years ago. The cromlech is located in a field near the town of Macroom, and it is surrounded by fields of rice, wheat, and tritordeum. The image you sent me also shows a man sitting in the field near the cromlech. Off to google maps ...
