Beaghmore, county Tyrone

Some of the rows and one circle in the mist at sunrise on a Midsummer morning.

This superb site is the only excavated and maintained stone-circle site amongst many in central Ulster.
Circles of small stones with tangential alignments of larger ones are common in the Central Tyrone and East Fermanagh area, and at Beaghmore a group of these, together with about a dozen small cairns were uncovered during peat-cutting. More may lie in the uncut peat-bog beyond.
