Banagher Megalithic Complex

Stone Circle (SE)

This part of the megalithic complex at Banagher can be quite confusing, there is a badly disturbed passage tomb at the centre of the circle, with it's remaining kerbstones forming circle around it, another set of stones surrounding the kerb of the tomb is the large bronze age stone circle. Only twelve of the original stones survive, seven of these stones are lying prostrate, the tallest of the five upright stones stands only 1.3 metres high. In the image below, the stone at the extreme left and the one at the far right are part of the circle, those at the top are from a chamber of the passage tomb, plus a trigonometry point. The stones in the middle ground are not part of the monument.

The images below feature two of the largest stones in the circle and the nes in the bottom image are at the SE end of the circle. I hope this helps you visualise the monument.
