I agree. If anything, there seems to be more thought given to some of the Irish circles. At Reanascreena every stone is carefully chosen, and the largest is directly opposite the lowest. . and the stones all decrease in size towards it, (Though Burl says they are 'not well graded' in the small circles book??).
Cork has some simply amazing sites, that I think are overlooked. Knocknakilla and Glantane(sp?) are amazing circles with great towering pillars outside. As is Kealkil.
I hope these are all given equal space in the new book, I'm sure most people don't realise just what there is in Ireland, (I didn't!).

And speaking of the little Burl book. . it says Brodgar's stones are 7ft high on average. . . surely some mistake? They are massive!
. .and Doll Tor circle (Derbyshire) it lists as 23 feet wide. That strikes me as a lot larger than it is . . .

I still can't imagine how the hell they are going to fit everything in! Just think how much space the UK occupied in TMA and then multiply it by Europe .. gulp!
