This beautiful mute swan was one of about 25 floating gracefully on an inlet along side the roadway. We drove west from Kinsale for a day of site seeing.
Our destination on our drive was the Drombeg Stone Circle. After careful searching, consulting with locals and roadside area maps, we found the circle off a side road surrounded by farmland. The circle was used as a calendar, marking the days of the year and the solstice.
Nearby, two smaller circles indicated the base of a hut used for heating stones. The stones were rolled down the hill into a cistern of water, causing it to boil and allowing meat to be cooked.
