"Levitations" The setting here is Drumskinny, (from Irish: Droim Scine meaning "knife ridge") is the site of a stone circle in the townland of Drumskinny, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.This stone circle is believed to have built around 2000 BC. Most of these circles have been standing in place for 3000 to 5000 years. The stones are dug into the ground almost as deeply as they rise above it. Circles usually had a defined entrance between two stones, and the arrangement of the stones was often related to the path of the rising and setting sun at sacred times of the year. Many of the circle are in geographic alignment with other circles, hills and sacred sites. Some – though not all – were tombs. Stone circles are fascinating. They’re shrouded in so much mystery in that no one really knows their purpose, how they were used, how the stones got to these often inaccessible locations. Historians and archeologists can only guess. Most suspect the circles were places of ritual – sacred places to the people who used them. But they may also have served as calendars to calculate the seasons.
