I'm really a neophyte as regards specific stories about this circle or that.
I live in America, and my interests in old things is very broadly based and general. It is really quite amazing to read how well versed and knowledgeable some of you here are about the ancient history of Britain.
I'm 1/4 Irish, 1/4 English and half Jewish. That 1/4 Irish in me has allways been fasinated with the fancifull.
That story you just related about being lured into a rath....is well related in that Volume we have spoken about by W.B. Yeats.
And yes....as the days grow shorter....the nights get chillier.....things do get spookier......and we shudder more easily.

You know a lot, Dodge. I wouldn't know the first thing about early pre-colonial artefacts of America, even though I have a brother there and visit all the time, and even lived there for a couple of years.
This lady is local, and within my price range, and a way cheerier painting. I just discovered her after googling for pics for this thread:-

They go into the dip backwards, with difficulty, holding tightly onto the horns, close to where they join the skull. They start waking up about now, when the ewes start to ovulate!
This is what they call oral lore !

Sheepskin just smells of lanolin - not progesterone - so should be ok.
