On my walk earlier I was drawn to the local Portal Dolmen, I often go this way on my walk, but today I was really drawn towards it and felt the energy of the Ancestors very strongly.

Dolmens are the burial chambers of Neolithic (New Stone Age) settlers. The tomb usually consisted of 3-4 undressed standing stones arranged to form a chamber and large capstone as a roof. The two tall stones at the front form the doorway (portal stones) and a smaller stone at the back support the large capstone. The portal tomb resembles a giant’s table and is called a ‘dolmen’, coming from a Breton word “tolmen” meaning ‘stone table’. The remains of the dead people were placed in the chamber. The Gaelic word for a dolmen is Cromleac, which means pagan altar. In some areas they have been referred to as “Druids Stones”.
The Druids were the pagan priests of the Celts and possibly used the flat capstone as an altar when offering sacrifice to their Gods. 🙏🙏
It is easy to understand why in earlier times the monument at Garrafrauns was known locally as the “Kings Grave”
In Ireland, these beautiful structures have become associated with myths, fairies, legends, and giants. These Dolmens are connected to some of the most legendary figures in Irish history and we can feel the huge significance everytime we stand near one.
