Megalithic architecture and County Cavan

We went to visit Brendan O'Brien in County Cavan up northwest of Dublin there and went to visit the megalithic site near his house. It's the biggest passage chamber (about 5,500 years old) that I've ever been in. It had one spider, which I discovered while I was inside one of the chambers. It had a central area and three small chambers with these carvings all around. Pretty neat.


Here it is from a distance.



There were a few other smaller stone circles and passages scattered around nearby. Here is one of them.


With Yarrow for scale, you can see they aren't that small...


And we had a lovely time visiting Brendan. I could write a lot about that trip... the slow internet has really been limiting the writing. We'll have to try to get on top of that better this week.
