Stone circle & alignment is a Bronze Age stone circle located near Dungannon in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a circular arrangement of stones characteristic of prehistoric ritual and ceremonial sites, with an associated linear alignment of stones that extends from the main circle. Dating to the Bronze Age, this site represents an important example of the monumental stone-building traditions that flourished across the British Isles during the second millennium BCE. The circle and alignment together suggest a landscape organised for both communal gathering and astronomical or directional observation, features common to Bronze Age ceremonial centres in Ireland and Britain.
