Beltany Stone Circle

Beltany Stone Circle


Beltany Stone Circle is a Neolithic stone circle just South of Raphoe town, and dates from between 1400 to 800 BC. It is comprised of 64 stones around a low earth platform (tumulus), which is situated at the summit of Tops Hill.

One particular stone is decorated with cup marks and many of the stones stand at an angle after being disturbed around a century ago. There may originally have been about 80 stones.
