Beaghmore Stone Circles, Northern Ireland
The circles were discovered in the early 1940s during peat cutting and1,269 stones were uncovered. Dated to the earlier part of the Bronze Age c. 2,000-1,200 BC, there are 7 stone circles and several stone rows. Their exact purpose remains unknown, though in some cases their alignment corresponds with movements of the sun, moon and stars.
