In Antrim, for example, there is great evidence for lighting fires in or on older monuments, but you'll have to read my next book for more info :-) ....

I didn't know that. Will your book be stocked in any libraries? ;)

I'm not about to stop being grumpy about fires at Castlerigg though, as the connection is so tenuous - and particularly because the justification there is so concocted - to burn offerings for deities in a temple. That it was originally a temple is a 50% guess, at best, and the idea of burning the offerings rather than just leaving them has come straight off the internet I should imagine. That being so I personally don't feel disposed to join in the blanket societal respect for all modern belief practices and reserve the right to think that if you've just made it up last week and it's not entirely harmless you should maybe be told not to be so daft.
