The archaeological thinking in 1959. From Londonderry Sentinel - Wednesday 9 December 1959
Noted Visitor To Giant's Ring The 4,000-year-old Giant's Ring at Ballylesson was visited last week by Dr. Glyn Daniel, the well-known radio and T.V. personality, who described it as "a most unusual and very rare type of monument". Dr. Daniel, a lecturer in archaeology and anthropology at St. John's, Cambridge, said he had wanted to see the structure for a long time. He examined the dolmen of nine large stones in the centre of the massive earthwork "ring" which is 250 yards in diameter and 15 feet high. . . It is „ believed that the dolmen and the earthwork were constructed as a funeral monument. The bank is divided into seven sections, and this indicates that the monument was probably erected by a monarch of seven confederate tribes.
