Grange Stone Circle

The largest stone circle on the island, a great ring of over a hundred standing stones enclosed by an earthen bank near Lough Gur. Its tallest pillar, a massive block known as Rannach Crom Dubh, marks an alignment with the rising sun at the summer solstice. Built in the Bronze Age, the monument sat at the heart of a landscape densely settled in prehistory. A gravel path circles the interior, and the sheer number of upright stones, close-set and leaning at angles, gives a strong impression of scale.
