Description
This area of land was reclaimed in 1985, with the possibility
that some material may have been removed. The circle sits on
the edge of a boggy terrace with higher ground to north and
south. The composition of the circle is not particularly distinctive
or typical of such sites. 8 stones are arranged in an approximate
circle. 3 of these are upright. The remaining 5 are boulders
rather than erect stones. There is no trace of the 2 standing
stones.
Location - Tremoge;
Termonmaguirk; Omagh.
There have been 3 sets of monuments recorded at this site.
Description 1
On a level terrace south of a flat-topped hill. The site consists
of a stone circle & alignment with a contiguous pair of
stone circles 30m downslope to the south-east. The alignment
is 11m long & consists of seven block-like stones, orientated
north-south. The heights vary 0.5-0.25m. A stone circle lies
to the east, north of the north end of the alignment. It is
elliptical, 8.5m NW-SE x 7.5m NE-SW & the highest stones
are 0.1m. The pair of circles has some relatively high stones.
The east one is 8.5m N-S x 7.5m E-W; the west is 7m N-S x 6.5m
E-W.
Description 2
On flat land overlooked by Tremoge Hill to the east. The site
consists of 2 circles, east and west, with a double alignment
running west-south-west away from the northwest corner of the
west circle. The east circle is 11m E-W x 10.5m N-S & consists
of at least 12 stones, ranging in height 0.48-0.9m. A further
11 stones were located by probing the peat. The west circle
is 10m diameter and has at least 25 stones, ranging in height
0.47-0.6m. 2 further stones were located by probing. The south
row of the alignment consists of 3 stones, the north row of
c.5.
Description 3
to the north, and the lowlands of east Tyrone stretch away to
the southeast. This site was reported by the owner, who observed
it during turf cutting. The stones are somewhat uncharacteristic
of stone circles in the area, being boulder shaped. However,
16 firmly bedded stones, ranging 0.25-0.55m high and 2 very
equal diameters,11.5m along opposing axes, independently establish
the validity of this site.

Location
- Cregganconroe; Termonmaguirk; Omagh.
There have been 4 sets of monuments recorded at this site.
Description 1
This site consists of a stone circle, approx. 7m diam., the
majority of which is hidden by bog. Five of the stones of the
circle are visible in cut-away bog. The stones are spaced evenly,
1.5m apart. The heights of the stones range from 0.3-0.7m.
Description 2
This site consists of a stone circle, approx. 7m diam., the
majority of which is hidden by bog. Five of the stones of the
circle are visible in cut-away On fairly level ground north
of Lough Mallon. This site was gradually uncovered in peat cutting
in the late 1970s & early 80s. There are 2 circles, one
lying 0.5m east of the other & a cairn on slightly higher
ground to the south of the west circle. An incident with a bulldozer
removed a few stones from the northwest arc of the east circle,
4 stones from the northeast arc of the west circle & 2 from
its west arc. The east circle is 10.5m E-W x 11.5m N-S. The
west circle has not fully emerged from bog & is 11.5m N-S.
The cairn is c.6m diam. & 1m high.
Description 3
This site consists of a stone circle, approx. 7m diam., the
majority of which is hidden by bog. Five of the stones of the
circle are visible in cut-away The site is overlooked by a small
north-south ridge to the west & by Cregganconroe Hill to
the southwest. The site consists of 10 or 11 stones set upright
against the east side of an earthen field boundary where they
form an undulating line. They range in height 0.9m-1.2m. As
they seem to be incorporated into the boundary & are not
firm in the ground, they are probably the displaced remains
of a stone circle. On the 1854, 1906 & 1936 ordinance survey
6" maps the location of a stone circle is noted.

Description 4
On a low rise between Black Lough to the northeast & a lake
to the southwest. In 1985, the field containing the site was
reclaimed from bog, leaving the site on a sharply shaped hillock.
Located on the east slope are the remains of 11 stones forming
a circle, with indications of further stones within the circle.
Tangential to its south side, running east to west, is an alignment
of 4 stones. A cairn is perceptible under a cover of peat to
the west of the circle, at the highest point of the hill, 5.5m
diam. & 0.85m high.
