I've been hassling McGrail for weeks to let me put this site in ... I went there the day before the first Discover Odin, on the way to somewhere else. Wheels have been ticking over ever since, until I finally found the book on a remote shelf last night

you should all go out and buy it - it's stunning

I'm ready to defend my inclusion of a Roman temple in TMA until the death, but only after you read the full quote from Iain Sinclair. Sort of speaks for itself after that ...

come on, the lot of you :-)

In the same vane I have started to include some of the 'Celtic' sites that I visit on my pages

http://homepage.ntlworld.ie/tom.fourwinds/celtica.htm

(shameless plug!!)

This is because I see that so many are now being lost to the weather and neglect. If someone doesn't keep some record then no one will know!!

Some of the ones I have put on so far are the more popular places, but I intend to *do* a lot more (I might as well while I am driving around). I will probably move them to a separate site in the future, but for now I will include them.

The difference between the Irish ones I am talking of and these Inner London ones is that there is something still there. The Lahndan ones are gone now, but were obviously very important sites. I imagine the roman sites were all sacred way before then.

The beauty of the modern antiquarian site is that we can add things that we see as important and to tell other people about them, to alert others to their presence. If Mr. McGrail has doubts then perhaps he can develop a vote marker for these pages. If people don't approve of the site then it can be removed.

Personally I am for the inclusion of very special cases, such as these. Question is .... who draws the line and where?

Ah, don't worry about it! A vote-thing is a nice idea, but I reckon so long as the notes are comprehensive and explain the context, you go for it boys...

Already psych-ing myself up to deal with Ireland and Europe ...

Deep breaths now.

Love from Holy. xx
