    Castleruddery Stone Circle is a recumbent stone circle and National Monument.
    The stone circle was built around 2500 BC.


    The Stone Circle is 30 m (98 ft) in diameter. It is composed of 29 stones, some of which are decorated with cup marks. The circle has two enormous white quartz portal stones at the entrance, each weighing at least 15 tons. The circle itself is surrounded by an embankment about 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) high. The 4.5 m (15 ft) wide bank has an opening in the east.
