The area is so close to Knock, where the Virgin appeared to children, that there is an affinity with Mary and you can see it in the names of the girls.

and so on.

If you would like to see some archeological history I bought a couple of copies of a quick read some 13 years back or more.

"The Road Wet, The Wind Close"

I bought two because I found myself lending one away all of the time, I felt like a library.

My spare is somewhere in a Benedictine Monastery these days.....seems the Church is always reluctant to believe they have to return anything in their care.

I knew going in that I would never get it back though, so disappointed I was not.

Excellant book if you can get a copy....the dawn of Irish Civilization through Newgrange up to Saint Patrick and the Tain.

I think I may have read it all in three sittings. Very hard to put down.

A quote in the book.....

"One of the difficulties with which the Irish historian will always have to deal is to discriminate where the imaginary ends and the actual begins.

It, in fact, ends and begins nowhere."

--Eleanor Hull, 1908
