This time last year I was climbing Sliabh na Calliagh, dining at The Oarsman, and wandering Achill Island. I was also two days away from getting married.

Endlessly creative, gore as a literary art form, nonlinear and fevered. It invites reference to horror novels, films, and games, but always does something unexpected, something nightmarish and nonsensical. I haven't read anything like it before.

That's very good news (about Loughcrew, that is), thanks. I recall that it was such a refreshing contrast to Newgrange - much less regimented, and I was allowed to take photos inside. I still use it for my 1st-year survey of architectural history.

For #TombTuesday, I offer this beauty: the main passage tomb at Loughcrew, near Oldcastle in County Meath, Ireland. It has a series of smaller satellite tombs around it. The monuments sit on a series of hills and date to the Middle Neolithic period, around 5000 years ago.

The petroglyphs arent really like anywhere in Ireland at all. We are used to the swirly triskeles of Newgrange and Loughcrew and of course Knockmany.
This was not the case. These are....odd. unsettling little images at times

Cairn T is currently gated because of structural problems, but you can see the Neolithic carvings on the stones in the entrance passage.

Resurrection on birthday Sunday in one of the cairns at Loughcrew, one of a group on one of four hills in a place of stupendous atmosphere. Not as much visited by any means as Newgrange, making the site(s) a semi-secret. And yes, reader, contact with the earth was quite something.
