Bocan Stone Circle, Culdaff, Inishowen, Co. Donegal


A Stone Circle is a monument comprised of standing stones arranged in a circle.
Most were constructed from 3,000 BC to 1,500 BC.
Their actual use is uncertain.
It is thought that they may have been used in rituals,or as an
astronomical device to show the occurrence of the summer and winter solstices.
