Fairy Circles

The day today started out with very light rain bordering on fog. I asked John, our driver/tour guide if this is what was called "Irish Mist". He said the term was in fact true. They will often have this type of rain rather than large storms like we have. .

We visited a Neolithic stone defensive circle. It is basically a circular wall of rocks about 12 feet high that encloses the living area for a family. This provided protection from the wolves that were common to this area. The "mist" was pretty heavy during our visit so I didn't pull out my phone to get a picture to send back. Sorry about that.

We visited another type of circle just after that. An earthen circle lined with trees. People here call these "fairy" circle. It did seem like a magical type of place that you could imagine fairies living around. The picture with this entry is of that circle.
