Ring of Gullion AONB, Protected natural area in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.
The Ring of Gullion forms a circular pattern of hills surrounding Slieve Gullion mountain, with heather-covered slopes and agricultural fields below.
The area contains the Kilnasaggart Stone, dating from 700 AD, which represents one of Ireland's earliest dated inscribed Christian monuments.
Ancient passage tombs, court cairns, and Iron Age earthworks across the landscape demonstrate continuous human settlement spanning over 6,000 years.
The Slieve Gullion Forest Park provides marked trails, a scenic drive, restroom facilities, and a courtyard center with refreshments for visitors.
This geological formation stands as the first ring dyke system scientifically mapped worldwide, featuring distinct volcanic structures from the Paleogene period.
