5. Discover Beaghmore Experience: Cookstown
Uncover the local mystery behind the Beaghmore Stone Circle at the Discover Beaghmore Experience in Cookstown. Local man Geordie Barnett discovered this phenomenon in Tyrone in the 1930s whilst cutting peat. Thanks to Barnett, this archaeological mystery was identified as one of the oldest Neolithic discoveries in the whole of the UK and Ireland. Although the original purpose of the stone circle is not known, informed estimations give reason to believe that ancient mountain settlers used it for astronomical observation, following the rising of the sun and setting of the moon. Explore the array of stones for yourself and create your own theory on their formation. To book your tickets go to discovernorthernireland.com/beaghmore-experience Photo: Contributed
