Well, it was a lovely day. Loads of sun.

The stone circle is lovely and now forms part of the terrible Bonane Heritage Park, which costs four euro to get in. The circle is great, as I say, and so is the ring fort right next to it. Sadly, the park doesn't take in either of the wedge tombs in the immediate vicinity.

What ruins the Heritage Park are the signs, which are plonked right next to the monuments. I can't believe they got permission to erect them so close.

However, it is good that places like this exist, enabling people to see things they may not otherwise see.

As for the court tomb ... not a sign of it. This doesn't mean that it isn't there, but it's not part of the heritage trail (different to the one above) in Milleens townland.

I did go to the most amazing stone circle I think I've ever visited, though! A beautiful axial with an inner circle and boulder burial. Extermely difficult to get to and wonderfully remote as a consequence. More of this when I get time to write it all up.

Also popped into the lovely little four-poster at Gortnatubrid (sp?), but a bull with an attitude as big as his dangly bits was claiming it as his. I wasn't going to argue with him and had to settle for looking at it, and him and his harem, over a worryingly flimsy electric fence!
