Beltany Stone Circle

Beltany Stone Circle


Raphoe, Ireland (IE)
Beltany is a stone circle located in the county of Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. It dates back to the Bronze Age but evidence of Neolithic activity has also been excavated at the site. Today Beltany has 64 stones of varying height and width enclosing an earthen platform. The centre is greatly disturbed and most likely was the result of digging by locals in 1700s for available loose stones to build farmsteads and field boundaries.
