Kilmartin Glen: Temple Wood Stone Circle
Discover an ancient site used for rituals and burials for over 2,000 years.
Temple Wood Stone Circle’s use began some time before 3000 BC and continued into the Bronze Age, ending about 1000 BC. In that time it was used as a place for ritual ceremonies and burials.
Today its most immediately visible feature is 13 standing stones. One is marked with a spiral, similar to designs found in Irish passage graves.
