Also known as Druid's Temple, Templebryan Stone Circle once comprised of nine standing stones but today only five remain. One of which has fallen. In the centre is a quartz stone known as Cloich Griene. This means sunstone and it is thought that nearby Clonakilty is named after the central stone.

The Templebryan Stone Circle consists of eight large stones arranged in a perfect circular shape. The stones are more than 4000 years old and their meaning and function are still a mystery to this day. However, it is common knowledge that the circle was used for ritual or cultural purposes.

There are several hiking trails in the area that lead to the Stone Circle. The trails are generally easy to moderately difficult and offer beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Along the paths one can also discover other historical sites such as dolmens, menhirs and tombs.
