Hi 12pointer

You found Copney! Well done!

I've looked on several occasions and not managed to find them. How close to the coordinates are they?

Nice one.

Hi,

I didnt have my gps but wandered about the hill. From the road you see 2 hillocks and a mound in the middle, thats where I was originally told to go but couldnt find them. They are, coming from the road, below the furtherest hillock to the right, half way between the farmers green fields and the top of the hill. Its fenced off. My pictures don't give it justice, its a truely amazing site when you start rumaging arounf the heather. Looking about on the net theres some talk about what to do about the weathering of the stones, which I assume is whats stopping them reveal the rest of the 3rd circle and the other 6 or so. I'd love to see what the whole site would have looked like back in the day. If you've got any scoop or any info on the site I'd love to hear it.

Cheers

Hi all folks, just new here so hope to find some cool links. I just found this site2 mins ago, and ten minutes ago I just discovered Copney stone circles which is a complete heaven opening experience for me because Im born in Tyrone and have been very close to alot of the megaliths around here. WOW!!! :-) Im heading out to moro and checking this place out!!! Thunder wont stop me!
AND ITS NAMED AFTER JULIAN COPNEY! haha hoho!
imagine what the people would discover if all the ground was scanned, espically the bogs of south derry and Tyrone, im sure there is stuff going on there even we couldnt fathom!!!
Think im gona leave the directions to good old fashioned fate and ask a local farmer or three for the location. Peace out xxx
