We went to the aran islands and saw a lot of dry stone walls that haven’t been in exactly this format for 3000 years but the rocks have been getting scooted around for basically that long. Ship of theseus dry stone wall

Then we took a train to galway! I like galway. Ocean is nearby; college town; grey. We saw some trad music, and unfortunately encountered some nyc people who work in marketing also enjoying trad music.

Loughcrew mania. I also liked that the route of approach had this kind of bush cover arch, felt like a portal

Really really cool, coolest thing. Many of these tombs are on private land but this hill is public. The big stone thing is called the Hag’s Chair. There is a folk tale of a giant hag leaping from mountain to mountain dropping rocks from her apron; the puzzle is if the name also recalls a woman ruler

We wanted to see more old things and the roads were not bikeable so we took a taxi ride to se the loughcrew cairns, the largest still extant mound tomb of which is aligned to the autumn equinox and is on a huge hill

Then we went to kells, where the round tower from the 9th century was totally wrapped up in scaffolding. It has been under maintenance for 2 years but we didnt check. The medieval church is still church of ireland which feels kind of unfair. The strange position of catholicism as the colonized faith

More ancient earthworks and neo pagan tributes at hill of tara, both a similarly old neolithic site and also in use through iron age as a kingly hill + a site of the last stand of the 1798 rebellion against british rule by thousands of irish independence fighters buried in mass graves

Nicky and i both love ancient history and these were really exciting to see. The inside vault of newgrange never collapsed or admitted water— it has kept structural integrity for thousands of years. The carvings on stones here resemble ones in brittany; the entrances align w solar events

We also went to newgrange and knowth, really shockingly well preserved neolithic sites used by at least two separate neolithic groups over a couple thousand years before becoming mysterious mounds graffittied in the 19th and excavated in the mid 20th century

We were adopted by a straight couple in a pub who warned us not to bike and indeed my plans of biking were sort of unrealistic bc irish ppl drive fast on narrow roads. But we rental-biked to mellifont abbey, an abandoned cistercian monastery (why abandoned? Henry 8 and cromwell).

The boyne is supposed to be where the salmon of knowledge is from (ate hazelnuts, was full of wisdom, eaten by accident by a servant who then was the wisest man) and salmon has been essential here for thousands of years (like pnw where im from) but sadly salmon runs are at record lows bc pollution

After dublin we went to drogheda to explore the boyne valley and stayed in the spoon and stars hostel which had cheap private rooms in an old georgian house; drogheda, on the boyne, was a battleground for various standoffs between britain and irish resistance and is where oliver plunkett’s head is
