There's quite a bit of stuff going on down in Waterford which has slipped under the radar.
Mike Powers Carrigaruppera-Stone man equinox alignment (stone man= Moore H1) see Moores report..A bronze age settlement and ritual
centre in the Monavullagh Mountains, county Waterford, Ireland, proceedings of the prehistoric society, 61, 1995, pp. 191-243, has yet to be recognized, despite it being one of the most outstanding alignments in Ireland next to Newgrange. (see Deices No.63, 2007, the journal of the Waterford archaeological and historical society journal)
Other alignments by Chapman and Power remain unaknowledged, having
being reported, and verifiable by simple observation.
Quote, by someone who will remain nameless, but who has considerable influence in Irish archaeology, and who saw some of this.
"Don't push this any further, and don't expect archaeologists to come down here and help you, they never have, and never will."


RH , What is the context for the Moore alignment , any plans , pics . ?



Just found this - i dont think it used by possible to download Decies but it seems to be now.

That's handy bawn . RH ,I don't see how Carrigaruppera - H1 is considered an intentional alignment . What is salient about Carrigaruppera ? It seems from the text there is nothing to distinguish it apart from being a "natural high point " .
