Passage Grave

Quite the most stonerest of all the stones in Brú na Bóinne.

Utterly amazing.	Posted by thesweetcheat 3rd May 2019ce


Looks new! Doesn't appear to have much weathering at all. Lovely.	Posted by thelonious 6th May 2019ce


The concrete lintel guarding it from the weathering effects of water falling down the slope of the cairn protrudes about a foot beyond the face of the stone and does a good job overall. That, and the fact that it probably remained buried under collapsing cairn rubble for the guts of 4,000 years, has given us what we see today. Really up close and you can see the pick marks of the carving. I love the way the diamond/lozenge pattern in the bottom left is carved in relief.	Posted by ryaner 6th May 2019ce
