Gallarus Oratory

This was so cool to see! This early Christian church was built between the 7th and 8th century. It was made without mortar and is still standing well. The design of the building allows the rain to drip off the edges of the stones. It is still dry inside after all these centuries.



This was a burial tomb with the Celtic cross on it. They would place white stones on the burial sites. The guide said it could have been a pilgrimage ritual.
