Moymore stone circles is a prehistoric stone circle complex located near Cookstown in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, comprising nine individual circles and two stone alignments. The site dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, representing a significant concentration of ritual and ceremonial monuments within a single landscape. The circles vary in diameter and stone composition, with some circles constructed from local stone, and the alignments extending across the terrain to create sightlines of probable astronomical or ceremonial significance. This complex demonstrates the substantial investment Bronze Age communities made in monumental stone construction across the Irish landscape, and the grouping of multiple circles suggests the site held sustained ritual importance over an extended period.
