In an unexplored corner of Co. Tyrone, travel out a minor road from a typical rural market town. Climb towards Gortin & the boggy Sperrin Mountains. Take a right hand turn onto a country lane, a "loanin" in the local parlance. Keep going and on your left you will find a very lonely spot. Battered by the wind and surrounded by only bog & forest there lies a megalithic mystery.
What brought people to this lonely spot 5000 years ago, to lay these circles in the ground? Were their intentions mystic, or murderous? Whose grave lies alongside? How many more stones lie unturned?
Are you shivering just because of the Irish weather?
No one knows.

Take the Gortin road out of Cookstown, heading West. Cookstown is just over an hour from Belfast.
