How can a collection of different pics from those mentioned answer the last post ? You have merely avoided it .
I doubt anyone would see any similarities with the Welsh examples and Comeragh . As for the new pics , . Cwm Ian , Yellowmead ,Tregiffian Vean ,Down Tor cairn and enclosure are all clearly monuments that stand out from the surrounding landscape . Drizzlecombe is an obvious stone row it also has a very big terminal monolith , Chun Castle is a settlement and Kendijack an iron Age fort , and none have any claims for excarnation

I was replying to Moss's sites and the pictures therein. At no point did I mention the video clip.

All we have had to judge is based on the video and CD for me . When do we get to see the pics of the "identical " monuments to Coetan Arthur , Morfa Bycharn and the Carn Llidi ?

When I possess the technical knowhow to do so, or when someone has the time to do it for me. In the meantime, if you want to put up what was on the C.D that's fine by me.
Incidentally, on what did you base the statement "I doubt if anyone would see any similarities with the Welsh examples and Comeragh." Are you familiar with the Comeragh mountains?

If you give me a little time to sort it, then I will show you, and anyone else who may have doubts. I'm not an IT expert, and am reliant on the kindness of others to do stuff for me. In the meantime have a look at the sweetcheats excellent photographs which I listed, in order to make an informed judgement.

The dolmens are a striking feature in the landscape, and were meant to be seen. To go to the considerable effort to build them in the first place (and if you ever get to see the example at Kilmogue in Co. Kilkenny, one of the most remarkable pieces of balancing in western Europe, and one that would defy the most modern structural engineer) and then to cover them with earth, seems ridiculous.
This might change your opinion:

Initially classified as a wedge (as it is classified on TMA), FW re-appraised it (see his notes for Saturday, 17th March 2007) and reckons it's a portal. I think he may be right.

tjj, some of the best examples of portal tombs are in Dublin if you happen to be passing through.

Thanks, that may have be another trip. This time will be travelling from Rosslare (staying overnight in Wexford) then on to west Cork via Wexford and Waterford. I'm not doing the driving but can probably negotiate a few small detours on route.
Will definitely be coming back to the Dublin area though.
