Maeve's Cairn, Co. Sligo, Ireland. Huge, spectacular burial mound.

http://standingwithstones.net Standing with Stones is a remarkable and unprecedented documentary film that takes the viewer beyond Stonehenge on an incredible journey of discovery that reveals the true wealth and extent of Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain & Ireland.

If you ever wondered what it would be like to travel the length and breadth of the British Isles, visiting the most intriguing and enigmatic monuments that our ancestors left us, from Cornwall through England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland to the outer reaches of the Hebrides and Orkney, then you will love this film.

Described by one magazine reviewer as "A stunning study of standing stones. A work of art." (Forten Times), this is no amateur travelogue. Written and presented by writer and explorer Rupert Soskin and shot and edited by broadcast producer Michael Bott, this film is a stunningly beautiful and absorbing two and a quarter hour tour of our ancient heritage in the company of an engaging and knowledgable host - the journey of a lifetime.

@thebigticket2011: too right. I was shocked to see this guy plunk his sorry arse down on the cairn. People have no respect for anything any more.

@txdurk Don't be silly. It's not a cairn - it's a pile of stones on top of the great cairn.

I try to walk up to the cairn every time i visit Ireland - also to the ones of Carrowkeel in line of sight. It is a wonderful, serene place - and offers a fantastic view. Also, the film crew seemed to have found a day without wind.

PS: A shame that they built those ugly hive house developments in Strandhill just below the Knocknarea in the recent years. I guess they're mostly empty and unsold.
