Megalithic Tombs
In the townland of Ardskeagh in County Clare, a megalithic tomb survives, one of thousands of Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monuments scattered across the Irish landscape, yet each one carrying its own particular silence.
Megalithic tombs, built from large upright stones capped or enclosed by further slabs, were constructed roughly between 4000 and 2000 BC and served as collective burial places, likely carrying religious and territorial significance for the communities that raised them. That this one exists is a matter of record; the finer details of its form, condition, and precise character remain, for now, difficult to pin down.
