Punch Out with Louise Brogan
She hunts 6,000-year-old stones — and the cows are the real danger
Some people use rocks to level a wobbly table, but Louise Brogan uses them to travel back in time. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Louise Brogan about her passion for megalithic standing stones, portal tombs, and dolmens. From trekking through muddy farmers' fields in Northern Ireland to dodging curious "Gen Z" cows, Louise shares how she turned a curiosity about 6,000-year-old structures into a dedicated hobby and a budding YouTube channel.
In this episode we learned:
The difference between monolithic and megalithic stones (and why 4,000-year-old "clocks" are so fascinating).
Why Louise carries a yellow waterproof jacket and wears specific "wellie-adjacent" shoes for her adventures.
The terrifying reality of cow-dodging while trying to film ancient burial grounds on private farmland.
Why Newgrange is the ultimate "starter stone" for anyone looking to get into megalithic tourism.
