The stone circles themselves are nice to have seen, however once you go up there and see them, take pics etc there is not really much else to do. You would not be able to go here and spend a day or half day or anything. But all in all nice to view. More

Sorry to all who find these things interesting but some small rocks organised into circular shapes on a field doesn't really do anything for me. Nice area and attractive scenery around the area but the stones themselves are not an attraction. More

On a cold wet day the site would be too exposed to enjoy. The day we went was perfect- sunny and clear with just a little breeze, and yet we were the only ones there. The stones are impressive but to get the most out of the site you need to take time to read the interpretive information. The site... More

We love megalithic sites, and this one did not disappoint. Even though it was high season, the cool weather and remote site meant that we had this place to ourselves for well over an hour. The circles are in a good state of conservation, and interpretive material is well-placed and comprehensive. What the site lacks in terms of massive stones,... More

We went there in July 2008, took a bus to Cookstown and from there a taxi (public transportation doesn't go there, apparently). The tourist information was kind enough to call the taxi for us. It was roughly 20 minutes outside of Cookstown, I'm not sure anymore. Well, the place was a little disappointing. We went there because one of my... More

Although the circles are very interesting to see, we encountering heavy rain the day we arrived at the circles. Despite that I got out of the car and got some good shots of them. Once I returned home I did an online search for information on them. Here is the link that was most helpful to me. (---) If you... More
