Tara and Newgrange

Today's day trip from Dublin took us to Neolithic sites of Tara and Newgrange. Tara has earthwork remnants of ceremonial sites. Saint Patrick converted the king here. There's a pillar -- the Stone of Destiny, part of the ritual for regal succession. Newgrange, older than Stonehenge, older that the Giza pyramids, is impressive evidence of ancient technical know-how. Plus, it has a styling decorative stone at its entrance! The last pic is of the pin or needle-like Spire of Dublin.
