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.

Log Text: This is a superb site as it's run by the family who own the land that the Tomb is on. The visitor centre is excellent for its talks and information. A shortish walk takes you to the Burnt Mound which is in date much younger than the Tomb, and then there's a much longer walk to the Tomb itself.

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.
