| Whilst in Cork earlier this year, I noticed at the first few stone circles I visited, (Lettergorman South, Templebryan and Ballyvacky) there were quartz stones iside the circles. But they looked as if they had been pushed there. A few days later, at Knockareen Stone Circle, I saw two more quartz stones. This time, they were outside the circle, like two 'outliers' that could be seen whilst looking over the 'recumbant'. Three queries then. . 1) Do you think the quartz stones in Lettergorman South, Templebryan and Ballyvacky are field clearance? The farmer finding it easy to push outlying the stone into the circle, rather than a field boundry? 2) Are quartz outliers an Irish thing only?. . the only UK circles I've seen involving quartz are Boscawen-Un, which has a quartz stone as part of the ring.
