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: It's also known as Faunkill. There's something just odd about walking through someone's garden to visit a megalith, even when you've paid to do it!
This tall thin stone itself is a short walk up a steep incline and it's set on the top. Be careful trying to take a photograph, I had it almost in my sights and stepped back, and again, and again and realised there wasn't enough ground to get it all in one shot.
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...

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.
