The book was called something like "Parishes of Elmer and XXXX" by O'Dwyer. Can't remember his first name. It's a big book the size of a thick Archaeological Inventory.

I will keep an ear out for that book, its amazing what a bit of local knowledge can do, like there is a guy from cork on the stonespages forum
that thinks the portal tomb at Rostellan may in fact be a folly.


I have to thank you for doing so much work down your way! I would never have gone to Cromwell or Shrough otherwise. Corderry has always been on my list, though.
Ah you know all the sites Ive visited are mainly down to having seen them on megalithomania so the same to the great work you do.

I think the second bullaun at Gortahover might still be there. There's a boggy field up the track that I didn't have time to clamber into at about the right place. Seems like an ideal bullaun spot. It's thick with gorse and reeds, though.

Ill have a look for that bullaun next time I pass by, Im not far at all from it really. Ill try and keep the main bullaun clean too.

I was up in Sligo today, back at Magheraghanrush. Thanks to Andy for going to check it out and posting the treeless pictures! Apart from the apocalyptic surroundings of the felled tree stumps the site is so much better now. Well worth a trip! I also went to another passage tomb up in Sligo that blew my mind more than Croaghaun Mountain!!!!! A bitch to get to, but, again, worth it if you're fit enough to get to it (I only just made it!).
