The Irish Times on the 22nd December had two good articles, of Newgrange of course ( http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/ireland/2006/1222/1166138332405.html you need to pay I think to read :( ) but also a great surprise was a report from Knockroe. A crowd of almost 100 gathered there but were dissapointed, despite the clear skies the sun didn't illuminate the carvings in the passage: http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/ireland/2006/1222/1166138332403.html (again you may have to pay). One very interesting comment in the article from the archaeologists, they are going to make a decision sometime soon on whether or not to 'reconstruct' Knockroe passage tomb, the 'Newgrange of the South'.

Happy solstice and have a great xmas folks from myself, the wife and the bump :)[/quote]


Cian,
Any hope of posting the Knockroe article in the news section, does it have any pics?
Worse case could you send it on to me?
Would be an interesting debate on whether it should be reconstructed, Ive never been so cant really comment.
