The circle 
consisting of sixty four stones, on top of what is thought to be a 
cairn, is much older than the Iron Age. The site was disturbed at some 
time in the (possibly distant) past. Many of the stones, up to eight 
feet tall, also lay outwards at acute angles.  The name suggests that 
the pagan Fire Festival of Beltane was celebrated here.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/9/KWNX5410892856029.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dolman at Kilclooney More]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=GCHA541083100306612</link><description><![CDATA[Approximately four and a half miles north-north-west of the wonderful 
little weaving town of Ardara, at Kilclooney More,
there is a court tomb and two portal tombs that sit not far off the 
main road. This quilt depicts the large dolman whose capstone is nearly 
twenty feet long.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/5/OCMS5410892855415.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haroldstown Dolmen]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=JTSY541083100307256</link><description><![CDATA[Haroldstown Dolmen, in Co Carlow, is considered to be one of Ireland!|s 
finest dolmens.
A family lived in the dolmen in the early 19th century. They packed mud 
and turf around the rocks to block the wind and cold. Other than 
possibly moving a front stone for an entrance they did not damage the 
structure<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/5/UCHW541081589017455.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[St. Kevin's Monastery]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=HIZC541081589016251</link><description><![CDATA[In Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, one may visit an early Christian monastic site considered by many to be a sacred pilgrimage. The extraordinarily beautiful and peaceful place is where the monastery of St. Kevin is.

The original circle had twelve stones, of which only four remain. The stones are tremendous in size and seem to touch the sky. The Stones of Stenness, appears to be the older of the two stone circles, dating back to approximately 2900 BC.This was a commission for a friend of his favorite stone circle on the Orkney Islands<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/4/CCVU541081589033044.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dolman at Kilclooney More II]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=BTIB54108158954813</link><description><![CDATA[This is such a wonderful dolman, I chose to repeat it in a smaller size.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/3/RTMZ54108158954813.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stone Passageways]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=EEUP54108158953018</link><description><![CDATA[As I traveled around Ireland looking for stones, I came upon many passage tombs that had wonderful stone entries that I could crawl into. Some of the most memorable were in Co. Sligo, in a place called Carrowkeel. This quilt represents the stone entrances into these tombs.
