Poulnabrone Dolmen

Star Trail shot of the Poulnabrone Dolmen. This shot was taken with a full moon and captures the movement of the stars accross the sky over a 12 minute period.

Dating to the Neolithic period, (4200 BC to 2900 BC) this portal tomb in the Burren consists of a twelve foot tabular capstone supported by two slender portal stones, and bordered by a nearby cairn. Excavations in 1985 discovered the remains of at least 22 adults and children buried in the tomb

    Great shot, as spectactular as they are these Dolmen’s also called Quoit’s would have been covered by a large mound. The artistry of the stone hidden from view.
