Loughcrew Tombs, 2

Continuing our visit to the Loughcrew Tombs...


Now outside, looking at some of the other tombs...there are
25 in all, some complete, some just traces



Interesting to run your fingers over designs your ancient fellows labored over,
6,000 years ago; making these designs was a matter of stone on stone, sometimes
incising with flint, sometimes just pecking away with a stone hammer and stone
chisel


Just before we were there, a small group of interestingly dressed younger persons
visited the area, singing, performing rites, and leaving offerings...

Looking toward the middle hill, more tombs



Another special place
