There's an interesting walk around the 'Bronze Age landscape of the Catletownbere area' (think I got that right), but it's on a Thursday evening so that's out for me. Lots of other stuff on as well, but I'm free this Friday morning and I think that I'll head off to look at some boulder burials instead. Blissful solitude and all that.

Summer's always my slow season, just finished moving to Wicklow too so I'll be sniffing around there lots more! Am going to Loughcrew this Sunday though, Frank Prendergast is giving his talk and there's a geologist giving a talk too. Should shed some light on the origins of the stone used in the cairns.

Anyone going to anything interesting for Heritage Week?

Wicklow will be a great place to live, best of luck with it!
Loughcrew sounds good, Let us know any interesting stuff that comes out of it.
I took a quick trip to Lough Gur on Sunday with the dog. There was a Heritage Week tour going round but Ive been on it before so left them to it. All quiet other than that.

All that new rock art! Can't wait to hear what's up there.

All the pics are up now from that Donegal trip. I had around 400 to sort through, which is why it took so long. Some nice ones of Mevagh and the churchyard stone up there is interesting.

This little wedge tomb was a cutie!
