Drombeg Stone Circle stands on a south-facing hillside above the Atlantic coast of County Cork, Ireland, the best-preserved of the so-called recumbent or axial stone circles of the Cork-Kerry tradition. It consists of 17 stones arranged in a ring 9.3 metres across, with the two tallest portal stones rising 1.8 metres on the northeast and a long flat recumbent altar stone laid horizontally on the southwest, its upper surface incised with two deliberate cup-marks framing an oval. Excavations by Edward Fahy of University College Cork in 1957–58 recovered a deliberately deposited cremation burial in a pit at the centre, wrapped in cloth and contained in a broken pot, dated to between 1100 and 800 BCE in the late Bronze Age. The recumbent stone is aligned on the setting sun at midwinter, which drops into the natural notch between two distant hills as seen from the centre of the ring on December 21. A small fulacht fiadh cooking-pit complex with its trough still intact, and a paired hut circle, sit a short walk downslope from Drombeg in the same field.
The same farmer-priests probably used both.
