A Drive Down Carrownisky Way

We took a drive to the coast to see some sand and water, but the wind was still howling too much to stay for long. So, we drove around a bit and came upon a clapperbridge and megalithic wedge tomb. As you do...

Here is a bit of eye-candy from the west of Ireland.

 Kirsty walking on the clapperbridge, which is approximately 130 feet long. It was built in 1863 to allow people to walk over the shallow ford that ran between the houses.

 Remains of an old stone house at one end of the bridge.

River flowing into the ford.

 Oy! Who keeps stapling tags to my ears!!

Forget 50 Shades of Grey, Ireland has 50 Shades of Green!

Megalithic Tomb dating back to about 2,000 b.c. This type is called a wedge tomb because it is wider and higher at the entrance, gradually tapering towards the rear. The top slab was also used as an altar in later years, and has a cross inscribed on the slab top (see next).

Our little Skoda!

Peace my friends!
