Hi again Charles,

Do you know anything about the monument, or if there are more of that type thereabouts? It bears an uncanny likeness to a Cork/Kerry asc, is why I ask. The orientation you gave, allowing wildness of guess, would also fit.

Do you know anything about 'circles' around here (Andalusia), if you happen to read this, George? I went through my bookshelves last night and came up with nothing.

Sorry Gordon ,It's been a very long time since I was in southern Spain and don't have anything to add re stone circles but have lots of detail on orientation of tombs and tholoi from the area if that is any help .

Thanks anyway. I guess I'm probably off on a false-start, but I'll keep trotting. I'd need to find out what it is, when it may be from, if it's a once-off, or one of a group of similar. Maybe I'm reading the photo wrong. It could look very different in plan.

As far as I'm aware it was a copper mining area, but the link between circles and copper mining in Cork is tenuous at best. Perhaps Dunbeacon, near Mt. Gabriel. The convention has been to look north, to Aberdeen, for influence on morphology.

I don't know. I'll keep playing with it...
