How to Tell a Cromlech from a Quoit ©
How to tell a cromlech from a quoit © As you might have guessed from the title, this article looks at different types of Neolithic or early Bronze Age megaliths and burial mounds, with particular reference to some well-known examples in the UK. It’s also a quick overview of some of the terms used when describing certain types of megaliths, standing stones and tombs. The definitions below serve to illustrate that there is little general agreement over what we could classify as burial mounds. Burial mounds, cairns, tumuli and barrows can all refer to man- made hills of earth or stone, are located globally and may include all types of standing stones. A barrow is a mound of earth that covers a burial. Sometimes, burials were dug into the original ground surface, but some are found placed in the mound itself. The term, barrow, can be used for British burial mounds of any period. However, round barrows can be dated to either the Early Bronze Age or the Saxon period before the conversion to Christianity, whereas long barrows are usually Neolithic in origin. So, what is a megalith? A megalith is a large stone structure or a group of standing stones - the term, megalith means great stone, from two Greek words, megas (meaning: great) and lithos (meaning: stone). However, the general meaning of megaliths includes any structure composed of large stones, which include tombs and circular standing structures. Such structures have been found in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America and may have had religious significance. Megaliths tend to be put into two general categories, ie dolmens or menhirs. -

DONEGAL, North West Ireland
DONEGAL, North West Ireland Area Donegal is a traditional Irish area with overwhelming nature, rugged rock formations, everlasting tidal currents, endless beaches and more water than a fisherman could wish for. That is the Donegal region in short. Killybegs, Ballyshanon, Sligo, Bundoran are a few names of villages in this region and can serve as a base location. These villages still breathe the atmosphere of the early days with the old-fashioned shops and pubs where little or nothing has changed in the last 20 years. The villages themselves are picturesque and there is no hurry. Honest and hospitable people and beautiful surroundings make up for an unforgettable journey. If you go into a local pub in the evening you will feel right at home and will be welcomed by the people. This is still the true Irish life. The coast is erratic but the climate is very moderate as temperatures usually don't go below 5ºC. In summer the average is around 22 to 25º C. The only thing that has to be taken into account on occasion is the southwest wind. The Irish themselves call it "weather permitting". There are several possibilities to stay in this region and therefore also to fish. This makes it difficult to choose and to arrange this trip. You can make it as long and as short as you like and the number of participants is not limited to 2 or 4. For example, you can choose to go salmon fishing for 3 days, sea fishing for 1 day in Bundoran, sea fishing for 2 days in Killybegs and maybe another day on the pristine Silver Beach. -
