We went to Beaghmore a few years back, amazing place! The rows heading into the uncut peat are very suggestive. Could have spent hours there, its so great to see what is very much an untouched site.

There is a similar multiple circle site nearby whose name escapes me which is was so unkempt and overgrown that you cant make out anything.

We too tried to find this, I think it's Broughderg you're thinking of, but had no luck whatsoever. However Beaghmore is very easy to find and I'd thoroughly recommend it - absolutely mind-blowing!

Looking at the page on here for Broughderg, I think you are right. I did very little in terms of site notes or photos for that trip, but if memory serves, we parked in a farmyard and basically got led to the circles following the farmers son on a tractor. We wouldn't have found them otherwise... When we went the grass was over a foot high all over, completely covering the stones.
