Hiking
The path leads a little uphill to the Beltany Stone Circle. It is not possible to photograph the entire stone circle because it is on a slope.
The Beltany stone circle (An Bhealtaine in Irish) or Beltany Tops is located around three kilometers south of Raphoe.
The name Beltany comes from the Celtic fertility festival Beltane or Beltaine.
The stone circle is more than 44 meters in diameter and consists of 64 preserved stones on a 1 to 1.2 meter high platform on a hill, called tops. Originally the circle may have consisted of 80 stones.
