The Giant's Ring is just outside Belfast. The original purpose of the monument was most likely as a meeting place or as a memorial to the dead. It dates from the Neolithic period - so a glimpse into Stone Age Ireland. It is possibly from a common European Neolithic religion - as per experts such as archaeologist Michael J. O'Kelly.
The Giant's Ring is a henge monument at Ballynahatty, near Shaw's Bridge in Belfast, that was originally preserved by Viscount Dungannon. This site is a State Care Historic Monument and has ASAI (Area of Significant Archaeological Interest) status.
The Giant's Ring dates back to the Neolithic period and it was built back around 2,700 BC - and this means that it even predates the Egyptian Pyramids which are considered the oldest in the world. This place has been used in different ways throughout the history but the original purpose and reason behind building this place was to serve as a meeting point or else as a memorial place. The Giant's Ring is also close to the Shaw's Bridge that crosses over River Lagan, and that is why it has been used as a crossing of the river since at least the Stone Age in Ireland by the public.
Back in the 18th century, the Giant's Ring was being used as a horse racing space, which adds to the history of the place even much more (

The site of the Giant's Ring consists of a circular enclosure that is surrounded by a circular earthwork bank; at least three of the five irregularly spaced gaps in the bank are intentional and original. East of the centre of the enclosure there is a small passage tomb with a vestigial passage facing west.
It is believed that there are other similar monuments which are found across Ireland and Britain but the Giant's Ring is considered the finest of them all and that is the reason why it might be one of the important touristic attractions that tourists care about checking when they are in Belfast (

The Giant's Ring in Belfast is the largest ceremonial enclosure space in Ireland since it consists of a ruined passage tomb, its cairn stones removed and surrounded by an earthwork henge enclosing a circular space of 2.8 hectares, 180 meters in diameter.
The interesting thing about the way the Giant's Ring looks and appears is that if you managed to see it from the satellite, you will realize that it looks like a ring from above with the circular shape that it is taking - and this could explain for lots of people the name that it is given and the reason behind choosing it for the place - we were actually astonished with how much circular it appears from the top.
We have been to the Giant's Ring several times before and even though it might not take much time from you in order to check the whole place and see what it has to offer you - we actually enjoyed checking one of the historical attractions of Belfast, Northern Ireland with the kids (
