PORTAL DOLMEN

 

Poulnabrone (1986) - This fine dolmen is situated on The Burren, a natural rock table fractured into many fine crevices. In springtime many of these crevices contain a microcosmos of breathtaking flora blossoming on a Lilliputian scale. This extensive table rock also platforms a number of imposing ruins, among them this dolmen, a Neolithic monument of unknown function, perhaps a burial chamber. The Burren is in the northwest of the County Clare, in Ireland. I was there in 1978.
