DescriptionThe stone circle is located on Bocan Hill, just outside the village of Culdaff on the Inishowen peninsula.[1] It is situated in a heather-covered field.[2] The stone circle has a diameter of about 18.3 metres.[3] Only seven of the stones are currently standing, the others are fallen or broken.[3] There were originally around thirty stones, some up to 2 metres tall.[1] Two tall stones seem to mark an entrance.[1] Opposite this entrance are two smaller stones, and it has been suggested that the stone circle is aligned on an east-west axis between Slieve Snaght and Jura, Scotland, which is visible on a clear day.[1] In 1816 it was reported that "graves" with "earthen urns" had been uncovered in the circle.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|title=The Little Book of Donegal|page=42|first=Cathal|last=Coyle|year=2016|publisher=The History Press|isbn=0750969210}} 2. ^{{Cite book|title=Ireland|page=573|first1=Steve|last1=Fallon|first2=Pat|last2=Yale|year=1998|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=0864425309}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title=The Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany|page=83|first=Aubrey|last=Burl|year=2000|publisher=Yale University Press|isbn=0300083475}} 2 : Archaeological sites in County Donegal|Stone circles in Ireland |
