Cromlech, Carrowmore, Sligo. No. 52: A Glimpse into Ireland's Ancient Past This evocative photograph captures the mystical allure of Cromlech No. 52, located at Carrowmore in County Sligo, Ireland. Dating back to the Neolithic period, around 4000 BC, this ancient site is home to over 60 megalithic tombs, making it one of the largest and most significant megalithic sites in Ireland. The image showcases a stunning view of a dolmen, a type of megalithic tomb consisting of a large flat capstone supported by three or more upright stones. The capstone, often referred to as a table stone, rests on the shoulders of the upright stones, creating an impressive and enigmatic structure. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with trees and shrubs framing the dolmen, adding to its sense of isolation and otherworldliness. The soft, ethereal light filtering through the trees casts intriguing shadows on the ancient stones, further emphasizing their age and history. This photograph offers a glimpse into Ireland's rich and fascinating past, transporting us back in time to an era when megalithic structures like Cromlech No. 52 were the architectural marvels of the day. The image invites us to ponder the stories and secrets that these ancient stones hold, and to appreciate the enduring allure of Ireland's megalithic heritage.
