I dont know this guy at all, but basically he took all the sites Ive visited and posted on here and turned them into his book on County Tipperary. Thats fair enough I guess, he has gone and visited them all but even an email to say hey while doing it would have been nice.

PS I wondered if it might be possible to have a "stickied" Ireland thread on here, Im sure lots of people from Ireland stumble upon here but see the low irish presence on the board. If there was a dedicated Ireland thread it might make it easier for people to get in contract with the Irish enthusists. We generally now use the forum on Megalithomania to keep in touch now.

Just to clarify my books about Megalithic monuments in different counties in Ireland. I use OSI maps, Heritage Site Finder and old documents from R.I.A. to find and visit these places and i do not 'follow' in the foot steps of others, as i find their co-ords are normally inaccurate. It is great that others have visited these wonderful places before but to say i should e-mail some one to let them know i am or in some way ask their permission is absurd. I gladly give any help to others who may wish to use my informatiom without charge and with great satisfaction to help promote heritage in all of Ireland. I will in due course have other books available which will include NI as i regard it as being part of the whole prehistoric history and landscape of this island.
