Beltany Tops, Co. Donegal.
This massive circle seems to be literally falling down around itself, yet it is still a very imposing place which has always been associated with the feast of Bealtaine (1st of May) from which it got its name. The circle is unusual in that it interior is filled with a low cairn which has been heavily excavated, this seems to suggest a relationship between this fine ring and the small boulder tombs at Carrowmore in Sligo.
