As mew can see, there was a little magic at play with the rainbow!
Mew know how much we love ancient standing stones and stone circles, see our previous trips to:
Here's a little bit of info from BBHQ's Historical Travel Guide, Smooch:
Greetings to all the history aficionados and travel enthusiasts out there!
This week we just had to visit the magical Uragh Stone Circle in County Kerry, Ireland, and it was an experience that left us paw-struck, not just about the ancient history and magnificent craftsmanship of the people who built it, but the magical energy which just purrmeated the area, it literally thrummed through our paws. Located in a remote part of the countryside, the circle is surrounded by verdant hills and lush greenery, making for a breathtaking view.
The circle is much smaller than previous ones we've visited, and has a diameter of approximately 2.4 meters (8 feet) and consists of five standing stones that are arranged in a perfect circle. There's one enormous monolith, the one Fudge is purrched upon at the north-east /south-west axis. Each of the stones is of varying height and is local sandstone, which is known for its unique shape and colour.
The Uragh Stone Circle was constructed between 3300 to 900 BCE, during the Bronze Age, and its purpose remains shrouded in mystery. Experts believe that it may have had religious or ceremonial significance for the people who built it. Some theories suggest it was used for astronomical observations, as the circle aligns with the winter solstice sunrise, while others believe it was a place of worship or a burial site.
Walking around the circle, we immersed ourselves in the primal power of the ancestors who placed them here so long ago, using only simple tools and the ingenuity of the people who built them.
Our visit to the Uragh Stone Circle was an unforgettable experience that transported us back in time to the ancient world of Ireland's magical past. It's a must-visit site for anypawdy interested in history, archaeology, or just seeking a serene and beautiful spot to reflect and appreciate the wonders of the world.

Smooch is already waiting by the oven; he knows exactly when it needs to be switched on, so he can have his lunch at precisely 1pm! MOL

ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to Basil and The B Team's Mum!
ReplyDeleteSeems like modern humans should have figured out why the ancients made these stone circles; so much effort, and we don't know why? Weird!
Off to puzzle...thanks!
Happy Mother's Day. Beautiful art!

I am putting this anatomy reading list so I can come back and visit the Stone Circles I was not here to investigate with you when they appeared. Now I will. Me and Mom love those Circles. They are one of THE most fascinating things I know of in GB. Thank your Mummy for me.
