This is fanciful, but it's also one of the ways the Long Neolithic works – it infects our imaginations. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

On the Beara peninsula east of Adrigole, a little way north of the Drumlave row. It involved crawling under barbed wire but then we saw there was a gate. #StandingStoneSunday
