  O Mac Crikey, is there anywhere that pair didn't "sleep"?!

• O Mac said:

  The photographer was a local and no doubt had a more comfortable bed

  Druids Alter, Islandmagee This is "Ballylumford Dolmen" or locally known as the Druids Altar. The Druids Altar could be 4000 years old, or it could be an even earlier passage grave. It consists of 4 upright stones, with a heavy capstone, and a fallenstone within the structure .This could have been put there to block the entrance to the tomb. islandmagee.webs.com/photos.htm
