Beltany Stone Circle is a site that looks big (even on small images), but it is only when you walk up to the circle you realise how massive this site is !!
The circle consists of 64 stones and may have had as many as 80 stones originally.
The diameter of the circle is close to 45 meters with the centre having a raised platform.
The site was much disturbed at the beginning of the last century which resulted in many of the stones getting pushed outwards.
Some of the stones in the circle have an average height of 2 meters along with the outer stone which is 20 meters S/E of the circle.
The site is very well signposted from Raphoe with a few minutes walk from the parking area to the circle.
