Megalithomania.com is a site originally dedicated to Irish megaliths, but now expanded to include all sorts of antiquities that are of importance/interest.

My second book about Ireland's prehistoric heritage, Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Waterford, is now available and, like my first book, Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Dublin, 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 every weekend. 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 7 years use the links on the left-hand side.

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

Over the last six months of 2007 the web server that megalithomania.com was running on was not up to the task. As many of you will have noticed it was often off-line due to heavy demand. To counter this the site has been moved to a much higher specification machine. This costs a lot of money, so please help support the site by buying something from the shop. Watch out for my new t-shirts coming soon featuring drawings of monuments from 19th Century books.

Highrise In Sligo And A New Book - Sunday, 2nd November 2008 

Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Antrim is now available from the shop - just click on the link at the top of the page and go to page 2. I think it looks great (I would, wouldn't I). So, come on, help support this site and buy a copy. Remember, I offer free postage in Ireland and only ask 1 euro towards the postage for the rest of the world. I also sign every copy ordered direct.

Now, this trip to Sligo was all about one place - the passage tomb on top of Crohaughn Mountain. I have heard so much about this place and have always wanted to visit it. Today I finally made the trek to the top of of wonderful conical peak in the Ox Mountains. The views from up there are totally awe inspiring with Knocknarea to the north, Carrowkeel and Kesh to the southeast and Knocknashee to the southwest.
