Most of this is briars and brambles from this summer’s growth.

I couldn’t have a rummage here due to briars and brambles. Pity really because it may not last much longer.

Passage Grave

From the Archaeological Inventory of County Meath:

Only a small segment survives of the mound at edge of sea cliff. The nineteenth-century excavation produced a typical assemblage of passage-tomb artifacts. (Herity 1974, 252)
