Welcome to the new-look megalithomania.com. The aim with this new layout is to simplify things. The last version was far too intense and people were not able to see all the features. The code has been totally rewritten from scratch, so for a while there may be some errors. Please report these to me via the contact page.
This is a site originally dedicated to Irish megaliths, but now expanded to include all sorts of antiquities that are of importance/interest.
I try and visit sites as often as I can. Over the Spring I did more than I've done for quite some time and I intend to try and 'keep it going' throughout the Summer. You can easily check what I've been up to by using the Site Visit Calendar link on the lefthand side. For quick access to the latest trips use the link on the menu bar.

Last week I went on holiday to northwest Spain, to Galicia. We stayed in Santiago de Compostilla, but spent most of our days travelling about to see things prehistoric. In the evenings we went around the churches of Santiago. On our journeys we went to three 'dolmens', some rock art, two castros (Iron Age/Neolithic walled settlemets) and some Romanesque churches. I will add an entry to my Beyong Our Shores section as soon as I have time to do so.
This week I decided to do something rather silly - drive around the Ring of Kerry in a day. Not really a problem to do if you start from Kenmare, but setting off from Dublin is a different matter. That's a total round trip of 800km!
