Well, of course, we owed it to the farmers long ago that we have the burn because after the ice melted, then the whole thing would have been covered in hazel and scrub and grass.
But because the farmers brought in hardy cattle, cattle that lived through the winter because it's lovely and warm, the ground is warm from the sun, they saved that.
It's due to them that we have the wonderful landscape we have there today.
Is that still true or is this just a story that was told to me long ago?
I have to ask you a question you may not welcome, and it's about Púl na Brón dolmen.
It is the symbolic dolmen of Ireland.

But to look at it, it is a bit incredible that this thing could have stood forever.
for 4,000 years and not be knocked over by wind and rain and changes and the odd earthquake even.
