Hello from Drombeg Stone Circle in Glandore, Ireland! 🇮🇪🪨😺

This is an ancient megalithic site dating back to the Bronze Age to early Iron Age and was used until the 5th Century AD. The stone circle features 17 stones, 13 of which are still standing. There were cremated remains of an adolescent in a pot found in the circle’s center. The second photo shows a roasting oven area for heating water and the third photo shows the cooking area.

While it’s amazing to see stones still standing for thousands of years that were influenced by humans, it’s always a bit eerie to me that these stone circles have human remains, so I try not to step on too much of anything out of respect. These monuments are literally graveyards. So after a quick walk around and admiring the feats, I leave and don’t spend too much time at these places.

But now you can enjoy these photos without the eerie feeling I experienced 😺

Back in the old days people were held by their ankles as they dangled backwards from about a 100ft high ledge to kiss the Blarney Stone. That definitely sounds more adventurous. 🙃
