Standing on a desolate limestone plateau in Liscannor, Ireland, the Poulnabrone Dolmen has been a silent sentinel for over 5,000 years. This ancient portal tomb, composed of a long, flat capstone resting on several upright slabs, marks the site of a mass grave where remains of people from 3800 to 3200 BC were interred. Visitors today can marvel at the stark, enduring presence of this Neolithic monument, which offers a tangible link to Ireland’s prehistoric past.
