Il s'agit en fait d'un cairn préhistorique situé au sommet de la montagne Knocknarea .
Ce cairn est un gigantesque amas de pierres de plus de 10 m de hauteur. Celui-ci renferme une tombe.
Une légende raconte que ce serait la tombe de la reine Maeve, célèbre personnage de la mythologie irlandaise.
Pour s'y rendre, il existe deux sentiers. Nous avons opté pour le plus facile puisque des marches et des passerelles ont été érigées afin de faciliter l'ascension vers le sommet de la montagne.
Semble-t-il que l'autre sentier serait plus abrupt et glissant.
Cependant, facile ne veut pas dire que le sommet est aisément accessible. Il s'agit en fait d'une randonnée d'environ 2 heures aller-retour. La montée est constante.
Lors de notre passage, le brouillard était très dense et le vent était visiblement déchaîné. Cela ne nous a aucunement empêché de poursuivre la montée jusqu'au sommet.
Par temps clair, le panorama est tout simplement splendide. Au sommet, le brouillard était tellement dense que l'on s'y perdait dedans.
Lors de notre retour, le brouillard s'était plutôt dissipé à la base, nous permettant ainsi d'avoir le plaisir de découvrir de magnifiques lieux.

Climbing Knocknarea - music by Carmina
...arrived at the top of Knocknarea completely out of breath, the view (Co. Sligo) was overwhelming, I stood in awe before the Maeve tomb and all it's mythology, the roaring wind was mind-blowing.
I'll have to come back some day for a 2nd visit, here's a quote from a Cathie Ryan song:
At the foot of Knocknarea I pick up a stone
To carry to the top with all my troubles
I'll lay it on Maeve's cairn high upon that mound
Stone upon hard stone I'll lay it down
