Loughcrew Cairns
Loughcrew or Lough Crew (Irish: Loch Craobh, meaning ‘lake of the tree’) is an area of historical importance near Oldcastle, County Meath, Ireland. It is home to a group of ancient tombs from the 4th millennium BC, some decorated with rare megalithic art, which sit on top of a range of hills.

During my brother Ian’s visit to Ireland, we decided to go see the Loughcrew Cairns. Below are some pictures from the short, but steep (!), hike up to the tombs.







It is fantastic that one can walk so close to such a significant part of human history.


That’s it! Definitely a sight to see if you’re visiting Ireland and it’s a special opportunity to walk so close to monuments that are almost 6000 years old.
