The
Giant's Ring is a henge monument at Ballynahatty, near Shaw's Bridge,
Belfast, Ireland. The site consists of a circular enclosure, 180m
(590ft) in diameter and 2.8 hectares (6.9acres) in area, surrounded
by a circular earthwork bank 3.5m (11ft) high. At least three of the
five irregularly spaced gaps in the bank are intentional and possibly
original. East of the centre of the enclosure is a small passage tomb
with a vestigial passage facing west. There were reports of other
tombs outside the enclosure, but there is no trace of these.
