The dolmen, a type of megalithic tomb consisting of a large flat capstone supported by upright stones, is believed to date back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. The inclusion of a man in the photograph provides an intriguing sense of scale, allowing us to appreciate the immense size and weight of the stones that make up this ancient monument. Dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, the man adds a human element to the scene, emphasizing the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the dolmen. The location of Kistvaen at Baronscourt is shrouded in history and myth. The name "Kistvaen" is derived from the Irish language, meaning "stone box," a fitting name for this ancient tomb. The surrounding landscape, with its rolling hills and verdant foliage, offers a serene and idyllic setting for this enigmatic structure. The exact date of this photograph is uncertain, but it is estimated to be from the early 1900s. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when the world moved at a slower pace, and the mysteries of the ancient world still held a powerful allure.
