| "This is a very fine court cairn, not restored as Cloghanmore is, and therefore difficult to reconstruct its original shape. It had a central court now cut across by a track and a stone wall. The main galleries set to the east and west of the court are two-chambered. These were originally roofed and covered in a cairn of stones. Three subsidiary chambers set around the court can be clearly discerned; a fourth is indicated by some large stones set in the north-western corner of the court where the structure has been largely removed by the track and is tday covered by a stone wall. Two ancient stone walls running to a nearby rock outcrop can be distinguished on the north side." From 'Glencolumbkille, A guide to 5000 years of history in stone', by Michael Herity. |

Bogman, May I have permission for a one-time use of one of your Farranmacbride photos, for a conference presentation I am giving on Wednesday at the American Anthropological Association meetings in Philadelphia? I will give you credit in my presentation for the picture, and thanks so much in advance, Moore Quinn |
