History and Mythology

From ancient habitation to agricultural practices, from ceremonial rituals to defensive structures, Loch a’Dúin offers a fascinating glimpse into the various dimensions of life throughout the ages.

Among the notable monuments awaiting your exploration are the “Giant’s Grave” a megalithic wedge tomb, the intriguing fulachta fiadh, mesmerising rock art, and stoic standing stones, all believed to hail from the Bronze Age era (2200-500 BC).
