Newgrange

I love Neolithic stuff. It’s an adoration I picked up from running around Britain and Ireland, finding all sorts of passage tombs and cairns. There’s just something so mysterious and powerfully human about these ancient sites, and Newgrange happens to be one of very few large sites which you can experience almost fully. That’s right, you can go inside this passage tomb!

The Hill of Tara

The Hill of Tara; it’s much more than a bunch of mounds on a hillock. It’s the seat of Ancient Ireland’s power, and the coronation place of her kings.
