Højt over Cookstown, ved foden af de imponerende Sperrin Mountains, finder du Beaghmore Stone Circles. Dette er et af Irlands mest fascinerende arkæologiske steder. Først genopdaget i 1940'erne under tørvegravning, afslørede mosen et kompleks af syv stencirkler, ti stenrækker og utallige gravhøje fra bronzealderen.
For en cyklist er vejen til Beaghmore en oplevelse i sig selv. Ruten fører dig væk fra den beboede verden til et vidtstrakt, stille landskab, hvor vinden har frit spil. Komplekset udstråler en enorm ro og er det perfekte sted at stige af cyklen og indsnuse den forhistoriske atmosfære.

Beaghmore is a complex of early Bronze Age megalithic features, stone circles and cairns, 8.5 miles north west of Cookstown, on the south-east edge of the Sperrin Mountains.
There are seven low stone circles of different sizes, six of which are paired, twelve cairns and ten stone rows. The circles are between 10 and 20m in diameter, and are associated with earlier burial cairns and alignments of stone rows lead towards them. The stones are small with few more than 0.5m in height and the circles are distorted, suggesting they are related to kerbs surrounding some megalithic tombs.

Beaghmore (Bheitheach Mhór), meaning ‘big place of birch trees’.
The stones speak of ancient rituals and to a people who understood astronomy. When you visit this ancient site look up in wonder at the sky and reflect, that the people that built these monuments observed the same sky, sun, moon and stars.
