Stone Circles and Ancient Forts


We started our day in search of on search of one of the 200 stone circles - sparse boulder rings left over from the people who lived in Ireland before the Celts.  

During the Bronze Age, Ireland was populated by farmers who put a lot of time and effort gathering huge rocks and arranging them into ceremonial circles for use in rituals.

We were the only people other than the Shepard mediating at the circle.










We also stopped at Grianan Aileach Ring Fort, an Iron Age fortification originally build around the time of Christ.  The fort we saw was mostly rebuilt from the 1870s.
