Burgesbeg

It is interesting to revisit a site after more than 10 years. This stone pair in North Tipperary near Portroe is now hidden within forest plantations that 10 years ago were only beginning to encroach on the views. I look forward to when harvesting is done and hopefully no further damage will occur to the pair. As archaeology.ie suggests below - this area was very important back in the Bronze Age.

Archaeology.ie has this to say about it "Situated on a rise of ground in upland area in forest plantation with nearby stone circle (TN019-046001) to N and stone row (TN020-062) to E. A tall rectangular stone (H 1.42m; dims. 1m x 0.52m) with large recumbent stone immediately to SW, aligned on a NE-SW axis. The second stone was knocked during forest plantation."
