Stone circle

Situated on a low rise in an area of rough, boggy pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map; indicated as 'Stone Circle' on the 1913 edition. Circular area (diam. 10.5m) defined by a series of small, low closely-set stones (H 0.2-0.3m). The stones are almost entirely obscured by vegetation. A possible stone row (SL018-059002-), in the form of an intermittent line of low stones, extends for c. 35m to SW to an enclosure (SL018-058002-), within which there is a court tomb (SL018-058001-). A fulacht fiadh (SL018-086----) lies 7m N of the stone circle. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the stone circle at Barnacoghil may have been used for ceremonial, ritual, or astronomical purposes. Such sites often held significance in prehistoric communities for gatherings, seasonal marking, or spiritual practices.
