Location - Tamney Cromlech; Culbane; Desertoghill; Coleraine.

Description
On the lower south end of a N-S ridge in an area of upland bog. There are good views all round. This site was damaged in land reclamation in 1984, with most of the stones pulled out of their sockets. In 1985 restoration work was undertaken to replace as many of the stones as possible. The low stone circle as it now survives is 12.3m x 12.7m in diam. There are a few gaps to the north and east where stones are missing. The tallest stone is at E-NE & is 1.2m high, 0.7m wide & 0.65m broad. In the socket of one of the larger stones, a cache of 65 flint flakes was found, including 4 leaf shaped points, 2 end scrapers, 31 other scrapers & knives & 23 trimming flakes.
