The one of the alter/shrine?

Not that many years ago I managed to make it to Ireland and visited a few different Holy Wells as well as St. Columcille's Abbey in Co. Donegal (where my own family is from).

The sites I visited were indeed profound and rare and ... sadly ... I'm not very certain that such sites as these are "protected" as they should be as archaeological sites under the now EU that seems to be running the show in Ireland (or so they think that is ...).

To me this is incredibly sad but your pictures are beautiful nonetheless!
