They do sound good . Have they done Meath ? if so , we could compare the passage s of Knowth and Newgrange as they are the only passages that I feel have been surveyed accurately enough with purely that aspect in mind rather than as part of an archaeological survey .
Nope, Meath was missed too. We were surprised, we thought they would have STARTED with Meath!

Most of the volumes were authored by Sean O'Nuallain, the senior archaeologist of the Irish Ordnance Survey until 1991, maybe that's why the plans are so detailed.

Sorry Folks, I hadn't heard of these before. Do you have any link to them on the net, just to get an idea of what they look like.

Thanks

We have not seen any pics of them on the net. Physically they are all 12 3/4" x 9 1/2" and between 1 1/4" to 2 1/2" thick, and definitely in the "weighty tome" category.

They are hardbound in black leatherette with gold titling, and they come in plain dustcovers of a light blue/green colour. The last volume was VI in 2002 which covered Donegal, this one cost us 50 euro new. If only they had kept producing them :O(

Hope this helps,
