Why is'nt there a version of the modern antiquarian for northen Ireland in book form.;

Because no-one's written it yet?

And why restrict it to Northern Ireland?

Take a look at http?://www.megalithomania.com for a good gazetteer of Irish sites by Tom Fourwinds. He used to post on here once upon a time...

You know I hadn't realised this was the case, you're right there is a glaring omission. I've just checked The Megalithic European which has a comprehensive section on the Irish Republic but Julian Cope's map of Ireland in the Introduction leaves the 'six counties' out. They are not covered in The Modern Antiquarian either.

Perhaps the history of sectarian troubles put Julian Cope off foraging around too much - you can't blame him for that as his family often seem to travel with him.

I would very much like to visit myself in the not too distant future - have wanted to see Boa Island for a while now.

Just came across this rather splendid web-site which seems to have loads of info about the whole of Ireland; also sells county guide pocket books which could prove very useful.
