It must’ve been quite difficult to get that slab of stone on top of those rocks! Maybe aliens did it ....

Significance of Megalithic Monuments in Atlantic Europe?

"... one of man's most curious creations. Built to stand the test of time and the elements, war - you name it. A thing of glory for a million future generations to see..."

National Geographic had a series on the Western Islands a year or two back.

I was surprised that there are several more henges on them. I guess not as spectacular as Stonehenge but still the basic idea must have been the same.

How do these “experts” know it is a portal tomb, is there a note?
Maybe, its just a bar table.

I think I rented that place once. I think it had lead paint or something.

Wow...brings back memories. Wife and I spent 11 days in Ireland 2 years ago and we visited that exact spot. The Burren is among the most amazing places I have ever been to. The New Mexico desert is another. Thanks for posting.
