Limited Edition Print by Anthony Murphy

  • Exclusive

    All of my prints are limited to a run of just 100. Each item is individually printed to order by a specialist printshop in Drogheda using archive quality photographic paper.

  • Unique

    I am one of Ireland's best-known ancient monuments photographers. I have an eye for evocative imagery that reminds the viewer of the timelessness of the mythical Irish landscape.

  • Collectable

    My images are designed to compliment each other and one is never enough! I will automatically apply a 3 for 2 discount on all orders of limited edition prints.
  • Detail from one of the passage orthostats at Cairn T, Loughcrew. Sadly, this photograph is not possible today because Cairn T is inaccessible, having been locked up in October 2018 due to concerns about possible subsidence and collapse. I am fortunate to have been inside Cairn T over a period of many years, capturing views of its interior that are no longer possible to obtain.

Nobody knows for certain the meaning of the symbols of Irish megalithic art, but many of them appear to relate to astronomical concerns. It seems that the builders of the Loughcrew cairns were adept astronomers, watching the movements of the sun, moon and stars.

On the mornings of the equinoxes, in spring and autumn, the light of the rising sun shines into Cairn T and lights up a panel of picked-out symbols on a stone in the furthest reaches of the chamber. That stone contains what look like symbols depicting the sun. I am in awe of the ancient astronomers of Ireland.
