Clonlum cairn shows signs of the transition between the court tomb builders and the portal tomb builders and is thought to date from around 2000BC.

People have lived here for over 6,000 years and have left their traces in stone, in megalithic tombs, burial chambers and cairns. The area contains the remains of twenty or so large stone tombs. Many of them, such as Ballymacdermot, are situated in prominent positions with magnificent views over the countryside. The monument at Ballykeel is also an outstanding example of a portal tomb and the south Cairn on the summit of Slieve Gullion has the distinction of being the highest surviving passage tomb in Britain or Ireland. Excavations at several of these burial monuments have uncovered stone tools, pottery and human remains.

Such a monument is not always precisely circular and often forms an ellipse, or a setting of four stones laid on an arc of a circle. The number of stones can vary between four and 60 purposely erected standing stones, and often contain burial pits or chambers.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nPrehistoric stone circles are found in many parts of the world.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA stone circle is different from a henge or isolated monolith, although each of these features is often encountered in a single location. Earlier features, such as the Goseck circle in Saxony-Anhalt, may have served similar religious/calendrical/astronomical purposes, though probably at a much earlier epoch. Stone circles usually date from the late Neolithic / early Stone Age, that is, c. 7000-3500 B.C.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nArchaeological evidence, coupled with information from astronomy, geology and mathematics[citation needed], suggests that the purpose of stone circles was connected with prehistoric peoples' beliefs, and their construction can be used to infer about ancient engineering, social organisation, and religion. Their precise function will always be open to debate, but a practical purpose could exist in the form of use as a burial ground, a astronomical marker points for use in determining calendar-related event timings, and usable methodologies have been suggested. Since astronomical event timings are intrinsically dependent on location, it is also conceivable that observations taken could form the basis of some understanding concerning geography, and proceeding from that, derivation of standardised units of measurement for not only time, as in the calendar hypothesis, but also for distance.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBecause of the timescale involved, many astronomical parameters have changed, further-complicating analysis of the hypothetical purposes of these monuments. Even with modern technology such as computerised star-map simulations, without a firm date in mind, large margins of doubt are unavoidable. Certainly until recently, accurate retrospective calculations of many heavenly events, tied to each given location, made a comprehensive survey of monuments unapproachable. Current technology improves our chance of gaining an insight into possible motives and uses, and perhaps patterns may emerge when large numbers of arrangements are compared systematically by automated means which are able to examine large numbers of sites as well as large ranges of dating.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n","","Irishphotographer Kim Shatwell","","","Stone Circles",0,18);backgrounds[3221605]=new photo(3221605,"114135","","gallery","View Down the Glen copy.jpg",500,348,"A view down the Glen",1,0,"A view down the Glen of the river Cusher in Clare Glen in Co Armagh","","irishphotographer","Co, armagh","","view down the glen",0,18);backgrounds[3358519]=new photo(3358519,"114135","","gallery","faerie tree folklore copy.jpg",500,720,"Faerie Tree Folklore",1,0,"Mythology and Folklore of the Rowan<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe rowan's mythic roots go back to classical times. Greek mythology tells of how Hebe the goddess of youth, dispensed rejuvenating ambrosia to the gods from her magical chalice. When, through carelessness, she lost this cup to demons, the gods sent an eagle to recover the cup. The feathers and drops of blood which the eagle shed in the ensuing fight with the demons fell to earth, where each of them turned into a rowan tree. Hence the rowan derived the shape of its leaves from the eagle's feathers and the appearance of its berries from the droplets of blood.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nmore<br>\r\n<br>\r\nhttp://flickr.com/photos/irishphotographer/3199552907/","","kim shatwell","moneyslane co down","","Faerie Tree Folklore",0,18);backgrounds[3358533]=new photo(3358533,"114135","","gallery","Seeking the light copy.jpg",500,689,"Seeking the light ",1,0,"Take on many one of my daily local walks at Craigavon Lakes ","","kim shatwell","Craigavon Lakes","","Seeking the light ",0,18);backgrounds[1762196]=new photo(1762196,"116894","","gallery","DSCF0016.JPG",492,640,"The changing of Fionnuala",1,0,"Taken from the story of the children of lir ","","Cat shatwell Cat-Art","",35,"The changing of Fionnuala A4 print ","",18);
