Passage Grave

We walked around the whole site, trying to get our bearings and were just amazed by the evidence of 5000 years of habitation, before heading towards the Mound of Hostages (another great name!)
Sadly, after having such excellent access at Loughcrew, the metal gate at the entrance of the tomb was a real downer. I managed to take some photos through the bars but the site felt unloved and neglected, which is strange as there were quite a few people around. Rubbish was strewn on the floor of the passage and it made me feel sad that such a site should be treated like this.
The carvings on the stone in the passage were clearly defined, even from the "outside" and I would've loved to have been able to see them closer.This post appears as part of the weblog entry VVXX Phase 3 - Ireland |
