There's about as many more, but these are the most interesting. Thanks George.

Gordon , the Maulatanvally example is out by 0.3 over 12 Km which is close , the bearing is 92 .5 ,close to possible equinox .

Hi George

Just read the two last messages.

(1) Killinga to Carrigagrenane N to Glanbrack

High ground south of Carrigfadda blocks any view from Killinga east to the other sites. Those two may be intervisible, however. I'll have to go and check, due a re-visit to Glanbrack anyway.

What's interesting about these three is the cupmarks on the large stone at Killinga and the cupmark on the axial at Glanbrack. There's also a depression in the centre of the axial-top at Carrigagrenane, but this may well be natural. Apart from the axial at Drombeg there is no re-occurence of cups at any other of these 28 sites.

I was looking for small similarities between sites, not because you'd say that they should be there, more that if they were present it might have a bearing on the consideration of any possible 'line' link between them.

(2) Maulatanvally to Glanbrack to Templebryan

Maulatanvally (190metres 'ish) and Glanbrack (160metres 'ish) are intervisible.


Great work, thanks!
