We found one of the WAW discovery points

I was very excited, we sort of stumbled on it, on our way to Mizenhead. I then puffed out my chest and said "we must find them all!". They all rolled their eyes at me and got back in the van...

Having read this, I can see why 🤣

"To make it easier for you to discover the Wild Atlantic Way we have amplified six touring zones each with their own character and unique experiences. There are 188 Discovery Points dotted along these zones, and, of these, 15 are Signature Discovery Points."

🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Ah well...

Anyway, the one we found was pretty cool, it was the Altar Wedge Tomb which is a grave located at Toormore Bay in the immediate vicinity of the Wild Atlantic Way. The megalithic tomb was built here at the end of the Stone Age (ca. 3000 to 2000 BC). The finding of bones suggest that the tomb was a sacred place for many centuries. Although the ancient rites disappeared with the arrival of Christianity, the complex was again used for rituals in the 18th century. This time it was priests who used the capstone of the tomb as an altar, at a time they were forbidden to hold mass in churches.Les mer
