Killadangan: Winter Solstice Phenonomen
While viewing this collection of ancient monuments you are standing on a salt marsh, which can be submerged with most high tides occur. In earlier millenia, however, the high tides would not have troubled these sites. This suberb collection of monuments, probably dating from the Bronze Age, includes an oval shaped enclosure, with a fine stone row, as well as a possible stone circle, and a possible fulacht fiadh (bronze-age cooking area). The extent of this grouping of monuments suggests that this was a major ceremonial site. What is most remarkable about the enclosure is the stone row (four stones standing, one has fallen down), which increases in height from north to south, drawing the eye up to a niche in the eastern shoulder of Croagh Patrick. At about 1.50 p.m. on December 21st, the winter solstice, the sun dips into this little niche or kink in the mountain. At this point, the sun is directly in line with the row of stones, before disappearing shortly afterwards behind the mountain. (Clew Bay Archaeological Trail website). 22.12.2013
