Hole of Sorrow

Poulnabrone Dolmen, County Clare, Ireland 🇮🇪

 

Situated on the high Burren limestone plateau, Poulnabrone Dolmen is one of Ireland’s most iconic archaeological monuments and is the second most visited location in the Burren after the Cliffs of Moher. Poulnabrone is classified as a portal tomb. Excavations by archaeologist Anne Lynch in the 1980’s revealed the remains of 33 people at the site and radiocarbon dating of their bones indicates that the tomb was in continual use for a period of 600 years between 5,200 and 5,800 years ago.
