Antrim Dolmen Grave Kistvaen Stones
EDITORS COMMENTS
Glenaan's Giants Grave: A Timeless Connection with the Past Nestled in the rolling hills of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, lies the enigmatic Giants Grave, also known as Kistvaen of Glenaan. This evocative photograph, captured in the early 1900s, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, as it portrays a man taking a moment of reflection amidst the ancient stones of this Neolithic tomb. The Giants Grave, a well-preserved dolmen, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Northern Ireland. Dating back to around 3500 BC, this monument is believed to have been constructed as a burial site, with its massive stones arranged in a circular formation. The name 'dolmen' comes from the Breton language, meaning 'stone table,' reflecting the distinctive capstone that rests atop the supporting stones. As the man in the photograph sits to the left of the dolmen, he appears to be in deep thought, seemingly lost in the history and mystery that surrounds this ancient site. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the lush, green landscape, which has remained relatively unchanged since the time of the tomb's construction. The Giants Grave stands as a reminder of the deep connection between the people of Northern Ireland and their rich, ancient history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the awe-inspiring legacy left behind by our ancestors.
