My wife and I stayed in Ireland for a week in Carlow. The Blacksmith's Cottage was made of stone and the walls were at least 18" thick. Our cottage is pictured below and it ran from the middle chimney forward. The entry is situated midway.
Not far away we discovered the Brownshill Portal Tomb known as a dolmen.
There is a very large rock on top. 150 metric tons worth of rock = 330,693 pounds. That is a heavy lift. I tried the portal door but it was locked. It was an odd feeling to be in there.
It is a very big rock.
