Poulnabrone Dolmen, County Claire, Ireland
This tomb was in use during the Neolithic and radiocarbon dates place its use between 3,800 - 3,600 BC. The first excavation of Poulnabrone Dolmen was in 1986 and then again in 1988 by Ann Lynch. During this excavation, one portal stone was replaced, and the team excavated the chamber, portico, and cairn. The remains of up to 22 individuals from the Neolithic were found. Sixteen adults, six children, and one newborn (from the Bronze Age) were among the remains. Their bodies were not cremated. Only one adult was over the age of 40 while most died before they reached 30. Most of the children were between the ages of five and fifteen. The skeletal remains show evidence of arthritis. The tip of a flint or chert projectile point was found embedded in the hip of one individual. Two other healed fractures, one skull and one rib, were also found. Dental wear analysis shows evidence for the consumption of stone-grounded cereals. Also found in the burial chamber was a polished stone axe, 2 stone beads, a decorated bone pendant, a fragment of a mushroom-headed bone pin, 2 quartz crystals, several shards of coarse pottery, and a number of arrowheads and scrapers. Grykes are crevices in the limestone that were then filled with remains. Chamber and grykes also were filled with the bones of various large and small animals.

Poulnabrone dolmen is a portal tomb located in Co. Clare. It is one of the most famous dolmens in Ireland. The large capstone rises up from the limestone bedrock of the Burren, supported by two portal stones that are 1.8 meters high. The people that were buried in Poulnabrone dolmen were Neolithic farmers. The radiocarbon dates from the bones produced an age of 3800 to 3200 B.C. The name Poulnabrone literally means 'The hole of the sorrows'. Poulnabrone Dolmen excavated in 1986 by Dr Anne Lynch of Duchas, among the discoveries were the remains of 16-22 adults and 6 children.
Excavations done in 1986 and 1988 by Ann Lynch produced many interesting finds, in addition to replacing two of the broken orthistat stones. This assures that Poulnabrone will remain a dominant part of the Irish landscape for many years to come. In the grykes (crevices between the pavement-like blocks of limestone),the Burren boasts a diversity of flora representing over 70% of Ireland's 900 native species in less than 0.5% of its area. No matter what time of year, there always seems to be something wonderful growing in these little unexpected areas.
Location: From Ennis, take N 85 north to R 476. Travel through Corofin and turn right onto R 480 at Leamaneh Castle. Signposted, Poulnabrone is approximately 9 kilometers up this road on the right. Visible from the road.

Poulnabrone Dolmen - Burren, County Clare, Irland
Der Poulnabrone-Dolmen (irisch Poll na Brón dt. „das Loch des Mühlsteins“, auch Poll na mBrón, dt. „das Loch der Sorgen“, daher engl. auch the hole of the sorrows genannt) ist ein Portal Tomb. Er liegt im Burren, County Clare, Irland, und wurde in der Jungsteinzeit, wahrscheinlich zwischen 3800 und 3200 v. Chr. erbaut. Der Dolmen ist aus zwei Orthostaten aufgebaut, die einen ungefähr 3,65 m langen Deckstein stützen. Ursprünglich wurde er durch einen Steinhügel bedeckt.
Restaurierungsarbeiten wurden in den Jahren 1986 bis 1988 durchgeführt, nachdem 1985 im östlichen der beiden Tragsteine ein Riss entdeckt worden war. Es wurde jedoch nicht nur der beschädigte Tragstein erneuert, sondern auch ein zusätzlicher Orthostat an der Westseite gesetzt, um den Deckstein zu stabilisieren. Im Zuge dieser Arbeiten konnte Dr. Ann Lynch auch Grabungen durchführen, bei denen sie Reste von Bestattungen fand, die sich in den Rinnen im Kalkstein erhalten hatten. Diese Spuren sind auf um 3000 v. Chr. (5100–4900 BP) datiert. Ergebnisse von Ausgrabungen wurden von Dr. Ann Lynch 2014 in einem Buch veröffentlicht.
Poulnabrone Dolmen, County Claire, Ireland
Poulnabrone dolmen, Glenslane, County Clare, Munster, Ireland, Europe
Poulnabrone dolmen is a portal tomb one of approximately 172 in Ireland located in the Burren, County Clare, Ireland. It dates back to the Neolithic period, probably between 4200 BC and 2900 BC. It is situated 8 km (5 miles) south of Ballyvaughan, 9.6 km (6 miles) north-west of Kilnaboy. The tomb is located in a rocky field in the townland of Poulnabrone, civil parish of Kilcorney, close to the R480 road, south of Ballyvaughan in County Clare. The dolmen consists of a twelve-foot, thin, slab-like, tabular capstone (horizontal) supported by two sets of slender upright (vertical) parallel portal stones, which support the capstone 1.8 m (6 ft) from the ground, creating a chamber in a 9 m (30 ft) low cairn. The cairn helped stabilize the tomb chamber, and would have been no higher during the Neolithic. The entrance faces north and is crossed by a low sill stone. A crack was discovered in the eastern portal stone in 1985. Following the resulting collapse, the dolmen was dismantled, and the cracked stone was replaced. Excavations during that time (1986, 1988) found that 33 people, both adults and children, were buried under the monument. Personal items buried with the dead included a polished stone axe, a bone pendant, quartz crystals, weapons and pottery. There were no intact skeletons, indicating the site was not used as a burial place in the sense that bodies were placed there immediately after or even close to the time of death. Bones were found in the original strata, but jumbled chronologically, so they were not buried sequentially. Only one of the adults seems to have lived past 40 and many of the bones showed signs of arthritis in the upper body. The children had teeth showing signs of illness and malnutrition. Two of the bodies displayed injuries: a skull and rib cage with depressed fractures, healed before death, and an adult male hip bone, pierced by the tip of a stone projectile and not healed, which means the injury occurred not much before the time of death. Those selected for deposit at this site were apparently the members of some sort of elite. Their bodies were left elsewhere to decompose, in a protected location, as none of the bones show any signs of teeth marks. Only the bare bones were then taken here and deposited. As some of them show scorch marks, they may have been ritually purified by fire beforehand. According to Radiocarbon dating, the tomb was likely used between 3,800 and 3,200 BC. The findings are now at the Clare Museum, Ennis, loaned from the National Museum of Ireland. In the Bronze Age, (c. 1750 to 1420 BC), a newborn baby was buried in the portico, just outside the entrance. With its dominating presence on the limestone landscape of the Burren, the tomb was probably a centre for ceremony and ritual until well into the Bronze Age period. It may have also served as a territorial marker in the Neolithic landscape on the important north-south route from Ballyvaughan bay to Kilnaboy. It is possible that the inhabitants of extensive settlements near Kilnaboy erected the structure to delimit the northern border of their territory. The dolmen is a popular tourist attraction, located close to the road between Ballyvaughan and Kilnaboy. A rope provides a barrier between tourists and the dolmen in order to preserve the ancient stone. It is requested that tourists do not go beyond this barrier or touch the dolmen. A large car park was opened in 2007 by the Clare County Council to deal with traffic problems caused by cars or coaches parked in the narrow road. A 2005 estimate put the number of annual visitors at 200,000. Due to the Burren's lack of light pollution and Poulnabrone's remote location, the car park has been used by Shannonside Astronomy Club as an unofficial public observatory. In April 2013, many observations of the comet PanSTARRS C/2011 L4 were made by the club at this location. The club still use the site for observing to the present.

I sat about 25 feet from the Dolmen and started recording as 2 tour buses full of tourists disgorged and they started walking up to the Poulnabrone Dolmen. At first, they didn't want to walk in front of my shot and stood behind me and then came the Orange Backpack Brigade...

Dolmen de Poulnabrone - Le Burren - Comté de Clare - Irlande
Coordonnées GPS: 53°02'49.0N 9°08'27.7W
Certainement l'un des plus célèbres dolmens de toute l'Irlande. Il est situé dans une région désertique, plus précisément sur le plateau du Burren dans le comté de Clare. Il aurait été créé il y a près de 6000 ans.
Ce dolmen, d'une hauteur de 2 m, se compose de 7 immenses blocs de pierre. Il aurait servi d'autel funéraire.
Des fouilles archéologiques semblent démontrer que des cérémonies religieuses auraient eu lieu sur ce site sacré. De nombreux ossements humains y ont été retrouvés, laissant croire que l'on y brûlait les corps de personnes défuntes.
