For some reason, the RL Elle has visited two different Neolithic-era passage tombs. These structures were believed to have been built around 3000 BC although their exact purposes are not known. Some were used as burial chambers and others for spiritual and astronomy purposes. While in Co. Meath, Ireland, I climbed quite a large "hill" to visit Cairn T of
Loughcrew. This is a shot looking up once inside the chamber...
This is a shot of its equinox stone. The sunlight will hit directly on this stone upon the fall equinox. You can go to
Newgrange if you'd like to see the winter solstice version...
This is
Cairn U. Like inside Cairn T and the more famous Newgrange, you will find spiral carvings and other markings...
A few months ago, I attended a friend's handfasting in Kent, England held here at the
Coldrum Longbarrow, also a neolithic structure from the same time period as the Irish ones...
