EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a close-up view of the entrance to No. 2 Cairn at Carrowkeel, County Sligo, in the Republic of Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image invites us to step back in time and explore the mystical beauty of this ancient site. The entrance to No. 2 Cairn is framed by a natural archway of stones, weathered by the elements and adorned with intricate carvings. The passageway leads us deeper into the heart of this Neolithic tomb, a place of wonder and reverence for those who lived in this land thousands of years ago. Carrowkeel, located in County Sligo, is home to several megalithic tombs, each with its unique character and history. The site is believed to date back to around 4000 BC, making it one of the oldest known megalithic sites in Ireland. The cairns, or burial mounds, were constructed using large stones and served as tombs for the deceased, as well as places of ritual and ceremony. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when the world was a different place, where the natural world held great power and mystery. The entrance to No. 2 Cairn at Carrowkeel stands as a testament to the ingenuity and spirituality of our ancestors, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the enduring allure of the natural world.
