Howth forest is a home to the ancient past with a massive ancient portal tomb, situated on the edge of Howth Castle's rhododendron gardens. Here lies Uaigh Aoidín, the Aideen's Grave, a burial place of Aideen, the wife of Oscar, the son of Oisin; a great dolmen that can easily fit 4 folks inside, covered with a massive, now displaced, quartzite capstone that weighs over 75 tons, the second largest stone cap, after the Browneshill Dolmen. A magical place, hidden in the reminiscence of what was once a great forest, and according to vast and beautiful Irish mythology, a home to elves, spectres, shapeshifters and fairies. #ireland #howth #tomb #portal #dolmen #adventure #sacredland #ancientireland
