Hi folks,
I have added a small section to my web gallery of ancient sites in Ireland which has photos of scale models of tombs from the Ulster museum in belfast. What I am looking for is for you knowledgeable folks to cast an eye over the text that accompanies the photos. I'm not an expert but I would like to get it right so any errors/omissions you think are important please let me know.

One thing in particular I'm not 100% clear on, most sources say court tombs are the oldest type of tomb found in Ireland, yet Carrowmore and Carrowkeel passage tombs seem to date back to 7,000 years whereas the range given for court tombs is usually 4-5,000 years... Are passage tombs in a different category?

Thanks!
