Stone circle, cairns (2) & alignments (2), part of pre-bog landscape is a Bronze Age ritual and ceremonial complex located near Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a stone circle accompanied by two cairns and two linear alignments of stones, all situated within a landscape that predates the formation of extensive bog coverage in the region. These structures represent the organized ritual practices and territorial markers of Bronze Age communities, whose monuments were subsequently buried and preserved beneath peat accumulation. The site illustrates the archaeological importance of bog landscapes in preserving evidence of prehistoric settlement and ceremonial activity that would otherwise have been obscured by later land use.
