Looking out from Carnbane East towards Carnbane West..

Loughcrew (Irish: Loch Craobh) is near Oldcastle, County Meath, Ireland. (Sometimes written Lough Crew). Loughcrew is a site of considerable historical importance in Ireland. It is the site of megalithic burial grounds dating back to approximately 3500 and 3300 BC, situated near the summit of Sliabh na Caillí and on surrounding hills and valleys.

The Loughcrew Cairns, also known as the ‘Hills of the Witch’, are a group of Neolithic passage tombs dating back 5,000 years. They are situated just 3km east of Oldcastle in County Meath. The tombs are spread out over three different hills and inside Cairn T(seen in the background, with Cairn V in the foreground), one of the largest tombs, visitors can see a cruciform chamber, corbelled roof and stunning examples of Neolithic art. During the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, people traditionally gather at dawn to watch sunlight enter the Cairn T chamber and illuminate the interior of the tomb.

I have been to Glendalough many times, but have never found the Upper Lake as calm as yesterday, with a mist on the mountains!!
