After the Cliffs of Moher, I headed off to the Poulnabrone Tomb. This tomb was only 3,000 years old (in comparison to Newgrange) and discovered in the late 1980's. An interesting fact I came across as I was touring was that scientists are still unable to figure out how the tomb was actually built. Surrounding the tomb were forts just like the ones that we visited a day earlier in our trip, but it was so frigid (imagine the coldest you've ever been and then dunk yourself in an ice bath and add a wind machine-- that's what I mean when I say "frigid") that I could not bear to walk the 500 yards to check them out. What I needed was a hot meal! So I went to Gallway to a local hot spot and filled our bellies with another heavy Irish dish.
