Subscribe here: / megalithomaniauk . Hugh Newman explores Beaghmore Stone Circles near Cookstown in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland during sunset. Discovered during peat cutting in the 1940s the site consists of seven stone circles, with associated cairns and stone rows. It is possible that Neolithic occupation and cultivation preceded the erection of the circles, and could well have been a late Bronze Age attempt to bring fertility to the land. Some archaeologists believe that the circles have been constructed in relation to the rising of the sun at the solstice, or to record the movements of the sun and moon acting as observatories for particular lunar, solar or stellar events. Three of the stone rows point to the sunrise at the time of the solstice and another is aligned towards moonrise at the same period.
