a
note on Northern Ireland
from
the Guestbook:
"I
have just spent ages looking at just a fraction of what you have
on your range of sites and my mind is well and truly boggled!
It is a true source of riches, I shall not only be back regularly
but I shall pass on the address to all my friends so they can
enjoy it as well.
It
is one of the most intriguing and stimulating sites I have found
on the Web. All the megalithic material is splendid, a very useful
resource - and some fabulous pictures. "
-
Alan Smart, archæologist, county Galway
_______
"I sat at my desk at 9.30 this morning looking up Crannógs
-
as, until last night I was unaware of their existence.
After an hour learning about Sweathouses
and other things
I started out on the essays
and poetry.
I cannot say any more than: Thank you for the most meaningful
site
I have ever entered...It is now 11.45..."

"I have just been looking at your excellent pages on megalithic
sites - and I totally agree with your comments regarding what
you call the "Disneyfication" of Newgrange.
Now I've discovered all of the links to your other pages on so
many diverse subjects. There's enough reading material here to
keep me interested for ages! This has to be one of the most unusual
and well-presented sites I've seen so far.
Keep up the great work !"
- Anthony McGuinness,

"Your
website is one of the best I've come across - for any subject.
Congratulations!"
- Anne Hodge, Curator of
Prints and Drawings, National Gallery of Ireland.

Though the most determined destruction of
Irish megaliths (amounting to many thousands)
occurred between 1860 and 1960,
official reports indicate that at least 10% of surviving Irish Archæological
sites have been destroyed
over the past decade.
