Baltinglass

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe site comprises remains of 3 small passage-tombs built at different times and partly-overlying each other, plus two single-chambered tombs. In the circular chamber of the latest passage-tomb (III) is a large stone basin decorated with a double-armed cross within a cartouche. Some of the roofstones of its narrow passage survive.

Ffynnon Engan

Springs and Holy WellsThere were two ancient holy wells at the far end of the churchyard beyond the west boundary wall, traditionally associated with healing during the Medieval period. I had read that the second well, or spring, had dried up and that the whole area was overgrown with brambles. However we were in for a pleasant surprise.

Goosefeld Steingrab 3

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis burial chamber was found in 2021 during investigations before the construction of a commercial area in Eckernförde the town NW of Kiel. Before detection and excavation the grave was hidden under the surface of a field. All stones were found tipped over, the marks of their former standing position were found and documented. A clay shard was found which could be assigned to the Funnel Beaker culture (see photo on our page).
