.The leg and camera work are greatly appreciated whilst we tend to ignore the cost of maintaining sites like yours . Like this site it would be a great loss and if it does , understandably , happen to go , thanks for all the effort for a brilliant resource .
Thanks again. I'm just in a foul mood and sick of the constant fight against DoS attacks. There are some real dozy fuckers out there who think it's fun to ruin an honest website.

The internet will be a much lower quality place without Megalithomania :(

Hi Tom

I was just reading your Dublin book, looking for your take on the tombs at Bremore;

"Like the Boyne to the north, which receives far more attention due to the three amazing tombs at Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, the River Delvin must have once been an important river to the passage tomb builders."

I always rather books, but I'd miss the website. That's an awful lot of money though and then to have to struggle to keep it going?

What a shame.
I don't know what criteria needs to be met but have you thought of going for Heritage Lottery Funding (there is a area division for northern Ireland). I don't know if there is something similar in the Irish Republic.
