The 'Long Womans Grave' could be this suspicious looking place in Co. Louth, http://www.omeath.net/long_womans_grave.htm I'm not sure what it could be but it looks a very odd place for a court tomb gallery. I found it a few months ago while looking for info on that odd looking dolmen in the Cooley Mountains.

Program sounds good, hope it lives up to it better than Secret Sights.

Just a reminder that this is on tomorrow night.

I just spotted this link on The Portal - http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/article2124998.ece

Loved this quote:

Dr Roy Ramsay, director of environmental protection with the Environment and Heritage Service, said it was contributing £50,000 towards Eco Eye and £30,000 towards Hidden Heritage.

'These programmes will show people what the authorities are doing to protect our environment and they will also remind us all of what can all do to protect our environment,' he said.

and

The series also focuses on the hidden treasures that are rarely visited, such as Clontygora burial chamber and Goward dolmen, a huge standing stone with mythological associations with Finn McCool.

"As you drive from Castlewellan to Newry, there's a sign to the Goward dolmen. Nobody ever turns off the road to look at it, but at that site is probably one of the most impressive neolithic dolmens in western Europe," Brian said.

What?! Behave! 'a huge standing stone' ? WTF!

Well, what can I say. I'm probably being very unfair (and possibly bitter, because it should be me doing this program! :-), but it was pretty kakky really.

Sites visited included:

Goward 'dolmen'
Clontygora (mis-pronounced by Brian Black, the presenter)
Drumirril rock art
The Shannon Pot
and a few others

Some nice area shots.

Re: Drumirril - http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/24216 - one nice comment was that they have now found 80 decorated stones in the area! I wonder if attitudes to access will be changed. When I visited the farmer was very gruff and didn't really want us to go to the one stone that he would direct us to.

Re: Goward - the woman from Newry Museum told a story about The White Sower, which has nothing to do with Goward portal tomb, but is associated with Goward court tomb.
