Thousands of mini-standing stones uncovered in a bog 

The mysterious Beaghmore Stone Circles date from between 2900 BC to 1200 BC. They were uncovered by local peat cutters in the 1940s and are made up of 7 large stone circles and 1,269 smaller upright stones. The stone circles and cairns are attributed to around 1200-2000 BC while flint tools that were discovered have been carbon-dated to 2600-2900 BC. Excavations of one of the cairns discovered a polished porcellanite axe which probably originated from the Tievebulliagh axe factory in co. Antrim (some 70 miles away). A unique feature of one of the stone circles is that it has more than 800 smaller stones set upright. These are locally known as ‘the Dragon’s Teeth’. The site also includes 12 smaller stone cairns which usually cover cremation burials. Some of the stones have alignments to the rising sun, the setting sun, and the moon and it is highly probable that the full extent of this incredible complex has not yet been revealed from the peat bog.
