Had to take the old road to Macroom as there is no safe access from the recently opened bypass

Not the easiest to access, supposed to be a stone circle close by but I didn’t find it, will return when the land dries out a bit

Winter solstice 21/12/2011, weather wise today was not as kind but was equally enjoyable, surprised to see that my buddy and myself were the only people there

Wired off and neglected, sad, cows were as usual inquisitive

Back at the bikes after a remarkable couple of hours, a walking stick would have been handy

View of the fort wall as we arrived, well worth the trip even though I had to stop every 5 or 6 minutes on the way up, totally out of condition

90 minutes to get to the top, hard going, walk down was a breeze, 50 minutes, make sure you have good boots

Dropped over yesterday evening on the way home from a trip to Sheeps Head

GPS location given for this is way out, I dont have the correct coordinates, maybe somebody can help, in Cushendall yesterday didnt make the trip here due to time constraints :-(
Correct GPS co-ordinates for Drumanone are
53.97019 N
08.35432 W
Otherwise you will find yourself at the other side of the railway line
The coordinates given are incorrect, it is almost impossible to find as in the middle of a very wooded area, you need to turn right inside the gate and walk about 100m before heading perpendicular to the road
Correct GPS co-ordinates are
53.93443 N
08.51391 W
One of the souterrains, this one in excellent condition
