Poulnabrone Dolmen

Poulnabrone Dolmen

Though Ireland is rife with megalithic tombs, and The Burren alone features over seventy of these ancient graves, the one at Poulnabrone is both the most accessible and the most photographed of them all.

It is located along route 480 and visible from the road. There is no parking available and during the tourist season it can be a bit crowded. Be careful driving past the site, as cars will be parked hither and tither on the shoulders. On the upside, it is totally free to visit.

Poulnabrone Dolmen

Poulnabrone Dolmen

If you don’t see the tiny signpost, suddenly coming across a number of parked cars along the R480 clearly marks the Dolmen. Out of season (mid September) and on a damp day we had it fairly much to ourselves.

Basic in itself, the age of the tomb combined with the barren landscape makes it fairly striking. Equally as memorable was a field of cairns built by visitors (I assume) stretching off to the left of the dolmen, lending a rather cemetarial air.
