| Description: | South Dublin Village Walks - Saggart Step 8: Boherboy Standing Stones. Known locally as ‘Adam and Eve’, the stones most probably date to the Bronze Age; their exact date and original function, however, remains unknown. They could be burial markers, memorials to the dead or the remains of another type of prehistoric burial monument such as a portal tomb. Alternatively, they could be memorials to some long forgotten event, the location of a prehistoric ceremonial or ritual site, or markers of an ancient routeway passing through Slade valley. |
