A very unique design. It’s supposed to be a ruined house on a hill in Ireland.

You walk around the base of the memorial, towards the water.

Go through a short tunnel, which has speakers playing the voices of people talking about the famine (including Bono).

And your in a ruined house.

You walk out the front door of the house, and follow the path up the hill, past a grave, and a what to me looks like a fallow potato field (because of the mounds or ridges or riggs in the field).

Here’s a view from above, which should give you a better view of how it’s laid out.

There’s even an overgrown garden out the back of the cottage.

Really a very impressive memorial, hey was that’s Bono’s voice coming out the speakers. Sheesh, he’s on everything these days.
