Image 303 of 409

Built in the later Bronze Age, Beltany is comprised of 64 stones enclosing a low earth platform. Many of the stones jut out and up into the sky. This is a sacred landscape where great ritual practices took place. Associated with Bealtaine, the beginning of summer, an aura of magic and mystery pervades the whole site.
