|Ardgroom is a village on the
Beara peninsula inCounty Cork ,Ireland . It lies to the northwest ofGlenbeg Lough , overlooking theKenmare River estuary.Near the village lie a number of megalithic monuments, the most picturesque of which is probably the
stone circle to be found to the southwest of the village. It has the name "Canfea" but is sometimes called the "Ardgroom SW" circle to distinguish it from the remains of another stone circle northeast of the village. Unusually for a stone circle, its stones tend to taper toward points.ee also
