The largest stone circle in Ireland.
Description - A LIOS or Grange is the name given in Ireland to a ring-fort or stone circle. The word "Grange" is an English rendering of the Irish word "Grian", which means "Sun". This lends credence to the theory that stone circles in Ireland were connected with sun worship, as at the larger stone circles of New-Grange and Stonehenge in England.
