Lios Grange

Stone Circle/Henge

Stones set into the henge of Lios Grange (click to view QT panorama)

region: Limerick, Ireland
Grid Ref: R640410, Latitude: 52.51, Longitude: -8.54

A massive henge, enclosing a grassed-over area 48m in diameter with stones set side by side into it. It is difficult to give a feel for the scale of the henge. Stand at the centre take a look all round with the Apple Quicktime4 panoramic view (600kB).

Until recently (34) (1826) there used to be a great open stone circle 52 metres across of 72 stones scarcely 30m north of Lios/Grange. Tragically this has been largely destroyed, but a smaller companion of 15 stones about 20m in diameter at R632405 still exists
