What is recorded here
Clooney holds a stone circle in County Clare, but the facts stop short of describing its size, age or purpose. The stones likely marked a boundary, a meeting place or a burial ground, yet no clear record explains which. They still stand where human hands arranged them, waiting for someone to walk the ring and ask what the circle remembered.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
