Bocan Stone Circle

The stone circle is located on Bocan Hill, just outside the village of Culdaff on the Inishowen peninsula.^[1] It is situated in a heather-covered field.^[2]

The stone circle has a diameter of about 18.3 metres.^[3] Only seven of the stones are currently standing, the others are fallen or broken.^[3] There were originally around 30 stones, some up to 2 metres tall.^[1] Two tall stones seem to mark an entrance.^[1] Opposite this entrance are two smaller stones, and it has been suggested that the stone circle is aligned on an east-west axis between Slieve Snaght and Jura, Scotland, which is visible on a clear day.^[1] In 1816, it was reported that "graves" with "earthen urns" had been uncovered in the circle.^[3]
