West Cork Field Trip: Clonakilty and Portal Tomb

After Ballinacarriga, we were all pretty hungry so our next stop was Clonakilty for lunch at De Barra.  De Barra is apparently well known for having awesome live music (apparently the bassist from the Jimi Hendrix experience retired to Clonakilty).  The food was quite tasty, but it was clearly very confusing to get us all our food.

Outside of De Barra
Only some of the Masks etc.
De Barra was decorated in really fun ways, including a ton of masks, photos, old ads, and old signs.

Clonakilty
We didn't get much of a chance to explore, but it was a beautiful place.

Portal Tomb
After we were full of tasty sandwiches and soup, we headed back out.  On our way to our next site, we passed a portal tomb.  We couldn't go and see it because the owner of the land won't let anyone near it to see it or excavate it...but my camera has an awesome zoom!
