The Loughcrew cairns, (https://www.tuatha.ie/loughcrew-cairns/) also known as ‘The Hills of the Witch’ are a group of Neolithic passage tombs near Oldcastle in County Meath, Ireland.

Spread over four undulating peaks, the tombs date back to 3000 BC.

A cairn is a man-made structure of stones.

Many are decorated with rare megalithic art.

I have reproduced some of the art from cairns I and T on this piece.
