Beltany Stone Circle, 4 Dec 2022, DSC_0313 - DSC_0317-2
Beltany is a Bronze Age stone circle just south of Raphoe town (Irish: Ráth Bhoth which means 'Ringfort of the Huts') in County Donegal, Ireland. It's estimated to have
been constructed approximately 5000 years ago based on recent archeological research funded by the Irish Heritage Council. Dating Beltany from about 3000 BC makes this
monument older than Stonehenge and the the Egyptian pyramids (some published sources conversely date the construction of the stone circle at between 1300 and 800 BC).
