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.

Off To Clare For Some Great Tombs - Sunday, 21st September 2008 

After my last trip to see some stone circles for the first time in a while, I decided to head west to Clare to see some tombs. I started in the south near to O'Brien's Bridge and ended up with a lovely, ankle-breaking walk in the Burren. I managed to get to Cappaghkennedy after being inspired by messages on my contact page and similarly inspired went and hunted out Parknabinnia court tomb - which I was beginning to think was mythical!

Before I go into the details of my day out I have a few things to mention. Firstly, I have recently started to use some free contour maps of Ireland on my GPS. After following instructions I managed to get them working with the Garmin maps, but with a few issues. When I have these ironed out I'll give out a link. Secondly, Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Antrim has no gone to print. I'll post an update as soon as I know when it will be available.
