The Giant's Causeway, renowned for its polygonal columns of layered basalt, is the only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. Resulting from a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, this is the focal point of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has attracted visitors for centuries. It harbours a wealth of local and natural history. The formation of the Giant's Causeway was due to intense volcanic activity. Lava welling up through fissures in the chalk bed formed a "lava plateau". Three periods of volcanic activity gave rise to the Lower, Middle and Upper Basalts, and it's the Middle Basalt rock which forms the famous amphitheatres of hexagonal columns in the Causeway.

The Giant's ring is a large earthwork circle, roughly 200m across, built about 2700 BCE during the Neolithic period. This is one of the finest in Britain and Ireland. In the middle is a tomb (now known as a dolmen) made up of five upright stones and a capstone, the bare frame of what was originally a chamber grave, covered with a cairn of stones and earth.
