Drombeg Stone Circle View all content for Drombeg

The word Drombeg means 'The Small Ridge'. The site is known locally as 'The Druid's Altar'. Roughly 120 feet away are the remains of two prehistoric stone huts, which have a doorway connecting them. One of the huts has a cooking place, which was still in use up to the 5th Century CE. A trough located within this kitchen was used for boiling water. This was done by dropping red hot stones into the water. It has been tested, and it showed that 70+ gallons of water could be boiled for three hours using this method.
