Cailleach Beara
Date Added: 11th Mar 2011
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Cork)
Visited: Yes
Cailleach Beara submitted by Runemage on 11th Mar 2011. I'd only just passed through the gate when my sandal broke after a few steps, so I continued barefoot. The atmosphere there that day was feminine, gentle and enfolding. It was of an intensity I've only experienced at a few other sites, Cailleach in her aspect of Mother, warm gentle and nurturing.
From the first sight of her, which is the view in this image, I could instantly see where the legend had arisen of her waiting on the shore for her lover Manannan Mac Lir to return. She does look like...

Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings
Date Added: 8th Mar 2011
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2006. My rating: Condition 3
Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings submitted by rockartuk on 20th Aug 2001. On a fenced outcrop, 200m South of the farm (NX 362 447), R.W.B. Morris counted 84 cup-and-rings (1979). This photo was taken in 1993 with the carvings still clear. However, in 2000 the marks turned very faint. Acid rain? The question of preservation (after about 5000 years!) is now actual as well as urgent. How?

Log Text: It's quite a walk from the parking area at the farm, not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The largest easily-accessible outcrop with RA I've seen. There was a large herd of bullocks to walk through which some folks find intimidating.

Log Text: At first glance as it's only half there, I called this one Shronebirrane semi-circle.
It's unusual inasmuch as it's in the valley-bottom, surrounded by mountains. I felt it had a very forlorn air. There's a modern house literally within a few feet of it which illustrates how incongruous Irish sites can be.

Log Text: Situated in the Burren region on the unusual geological Limestone Pavement, exposed rock with its own micro-climate in the cracks - called grykes - for flora and fauna, Poulnabrone Dolmen, made from the same stone, almost blends into its surroundings.
It's so much larger in reality than it looks in images, I could stand inside it easily.
When I visited, the access was unlimited and the landowner sat in a car nearby with a bucket beside it with a handmade sign asking for a donation of 1 Punt per person.
