As you all probably noticed, the site was down for quite some time. This was because the old server was hacked and we had to shut it down.

This is a new server with greater security and more up to date software. It is also much faster than the old one.

Sadly, the forums are offline at the moment, but I will reinstate them when I get time to install the new versions. The post history may not return and you may have to set up your accounts again when it does return. I apologise for that in advance!

Megalithomania.com is a site originally dedicated to Irish megaliths, but now expanded to include all sorts of antiquities that are of importance/interest. It now covers historic and prehistoric sites across Ireland, including Neolithic, Bronze Age, Early Christian and Medieval monuments.

My third book about Ireland's prehistoric heritage, Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Antrim, is now available and, like my first two books, Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Dublin and Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Waterford, is available in the shops or from this website - just click Shop at the top of the page.

I try and visit sites as often as I can, trying to get out twice a month, but failing lately due to work pressures. For quick access to the latest trips use the link on the menu bar. To browse all the sites I've visited over the last 9 years use the links on the left-hand side.

Until we meet in the stones ... Ride On!!

A Promontory Fort, A Long Cist, Some Sand Martins And An Otter Skull - Monday, 25th April 2011 

To see how well I'd recovered from my recent illness I decided to drive to the other side of the country and visit Tatjana in Sligo. I'm not sure how wise that was, but it turned out to be a great day.

We went to visit a promontory fort and its associated monuments. Id' seen this site from the sea as we sailed to Inishmore last June.

The monument itself is very well preserved and very easy to access. However, for me the highlight of the day was sitting and eating lunch with a swarm of sand martins flying around us! How awesome is that!?
