It is amazing to think of how these people of the Stone age were able to build such lodges-tombs- shelters without the help of any machinery to move such big stones and amounts of sand to cover it all.The wheel has not even been invented yet. And the carved drawings on the stones made with other harder stones, so perfect! There have always been some artist full of patience to realize their precious pieces of art! Lucky we are we can see now the hard work and toil of our ancestors some many thousands of years afterwards.

I often wonder if we as people today do not understand the harnessing of frequency so we disturb things that should be left alone releasing someone’s evil frequency back out into our world. Anyone else ever worried about these “smart” people that do things that could effect the whole world without a second thought thinking they know best? Even modern times with massive things that could destroy us all like CERN.

Loved the video, great content and fascinating video. For your international audience could you please tell us what county you are in when you first begin. So much easier to fix your location on the map! Thank you, love all your work!

Why not plan ahead & bring along a torch/flashlight so we can see stuff & get a feel of the space? You said there's no solar alignment, so why grope around when there's no light show? The Ancients would have brought a torch...

Great insight Anthony; I wonder do you have more information on this place? I'm a Meath native very interested in the ancient sites.

Thank you for this wonderful video Anthony. I wonder what is meant by the name "Fourknocks", particularly the knocks part of that name?

I wonder if it's possible to follow the money on who commissioned the restoration of sites like these.. Truth floats in the end I suppose! The next one found should be filmed from first turned stone to last!
