Eire O/S map
Jan 31, 2012, 15:10
When looking at sites in Wales, Scotland and England I can access the on-line O/S map, zoom in and out, and get the location information I need.

When trying the same thing for Eire sites the O/S map is not detailed enough to be of much use.

Doea anyone know an on-line site where more detailed maps of Eire can be found which is detailed enough to show 'old stones' etc?

Thanks,

Carl

Click on "Wind report" - OS maps are viewable then. Also there are old historic maps as well 1837 I think.

Careful though...it's easy to lose hours looking at the old maps...

Just been looking at that - clicked on Wind Report and was able to bring up an amazing amount of detail. I have a trip to west Cork planned in May, - so far using OSI Discovery 1:50,000 Series which show ancient sites. Will also photocopy the section on Cork in Julian Cope's The Megalithic European which has a map of Cork with 28 numbered ancient sites on it.
