    Prehistoric archaeological site in the Burren. An almost mystical atmosphere prevails, especially in the evening sun.

    The Poulnabrone Dolmen (Irish: Poll na Brón, also Poll na mBrón – German: the Hole of the Millstone or the Hole of Sorrows, hence English: the Hole of Sorrows) is a portal tomb. It is located in the Burren, County Clare, Ireland, and was built in the Neolithic period, probably between 3800 and 3200 BC. The dolmen consists of two orthostats supporting a capstone approximately 3.65 m long. It was originally covered by a cairn.
