The Bocan Stone Circle is a stone circle situated near the village of Culdaff in the north of Inishowen, a peninsula on the north coast of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland [1]. The stone circle is located on Bocan Hill, just outside the village of Culdaff on the Inishowen peninsula [1]. It is situated in a heather-covered field [1]. The stone circle has a diameter of about 18.3 metres [1]. Only seven of the stones are currently standing, the others are fallen or broken [1]. There were originally around 30 stones, some up to 2 metres tall [1]. Two tall stones seem to mark an entrance [1].
