| The Ogham Stones of Ireland |
| The Rock-art of Ireland |
| A selection of photographs of the ogham stones featured in my book, 'The Ogham Stones of Ireland (Complete & Illustrated Index - 2010)', featuring the music of Fleetwood Mac - 'Albatross'. |
| A selection of photographs of various types of Rock-art found in Ireland. The earliest Rock-Art comes from passage tombs, dating from the Neolithic Period (4,000-2,500 BC), while the later La Tène decorated stones & Tricephalic Stone Head, date from the Iron Age (200 BC-100 AD). The music is a composition called 'May Morning Dew', played on the uillean pipes and tin whistle. |
