Hiking
The structure consists of a circular earthen ring with a diameter of 180 m and an area of 28,000 square meters, surrounded by an earthen rampart 3.5 m high. At least three of the five irregularly distributed gaps in the ring are intentional and possibly original. East of the center of the ring is a small passage grave with a westward-facing entrance.

Just a stone's throw away from Belfast lies Giants Ring, a henge monument predating the Egyptian pyramids! It was built some time around 2500BC in the neolithic times and features an impressive centric megalithic tomb.
