| Vicky,
I need to remember my password next time. I visited Bocan on 6, December, 2002. Glad i noticed the standing stones as I was passing the house in front of the circle. I was impressed with the location and the remaining upright stones. Touch some wonderful photos which I need to send to Andy as soon as I get a chance. Condition of the field up to the site was terrible! Thank goodness I had good gortex hiking boots and waterproof hiking pants in the car. Waded through ankle deep muck and mire while staying close to the lower fence-cows in the field and wasn't sure how upset I might make them-wanted to be close in case I needed to hop the fence! Owner of the farmhouse has a sign (albeit tiny) posted on his tree directing visitors where to go-does not want cars in his driveway. Intrigued by the various shapes of the standing stones and the one large stone toward the center of the circle, looked strangely similar to one of the curbstones at Loughcrew atop Carbane East? (sorry, at work, don't have my notes with me). Will provide better description in the next few days, when I remember to bring my notes with me! Any questions, contact me at MahonPJ@aol.com Patrick |

| I returned again to Bocan Stone Circle on 22, October, 2004. This happened to be my birthday and the weather at the time was cold but most gorgeous. Arrived fully prepared and attired for the mud and muck of the cow pasture. This time however, I offended a few of the calves in the field closest to the gate, which in turn upset a few cows, which in turn, led to me being chased by not one, but two cows! They eventually became disinterested in me but not before giving me a good fright! The one large stone in the middle of the circle looks quite like the "Hag's Chair" up at Loughcrew. I wonder if this is an intentional creation. There is something quite soothing to me about this site, even though of its location in the cow pasture. I feel at ease when visiting. I have one question though if anyone can answer: Do any surveys exist of this circle? Patrick. I will try to add a few photos to this site as soon as I can. |
