Chris’ Rambles 21: Sheebeg and Other Cairns
Sunday, 29 March, 2026
Sheebeg in the snow Dolmens, Barrows, Cairn ? They were built millennia ago to transport the human memory and imagination from one world to another and, in so many different ways, they still do. Join Chris on a personal exploration of these liminal places as she considers not only their archaeological importance but the impact they can still have on our twenty-first century experience. Carrowkeel Story Archaeology links for this Ramble Tales of Sheebeg: The 1931 excavation Tales of Sheebeg Podcast episode from 2012 Wider Links for this episode ~ including loads more information and pictures This is an unusual audio 'ramble' where I visit a great many ancient sites, cains, caves, even castles, I have included sites in England, Scotland and even Australia as well as Ireland. To do them justice, I have included links to sites that will offer good quality information, maps, images, and more. There are too many links to add to this page so I am providing a new dedicated 'Gallery Page'.
