After touring part of Ireland and visiting so many archaeological sites, it became a must to go to the National Museum of Ireland and see its archaeology section.
I searched and wrote about the rotundity aspect that seems to prevail in the country from time immemorial. And to my surprise, I realized the Archaeological Museum is another circular building! A coincidence most probably!…
