The wedge tomb at Ratooragh, on the Mizen Peninsula in West Cork, is a fine example of this type of monument. In the background you can see the radar stations on Mount Gabriel.

The Flight into Egypt, one part of the rose window in the Church of the Most Holy Rosary, Kilcoe, between Skibbereen and Ballydehob. Commissioned in 1943, it was designed by Terence Clarke of Harry Clarke Stained Glass Ltd.
Happy Christmas to everyone.

Three figures on the ridge.

Here we are heading up and around the Knocknaphuca loop on the Mizen Peninsula.

Should I do a little thread below?

Including: How we became works (walks 😉) of art.

I was delighted today to be present at the unveiling of a memorial plaque at the cillín (children’s burial ground) in Gortnagrough near . This large site was used up to the early decades of the 20th century. It also contains a separate area where adults, chiefly victims of the Great Famine, were buried. Well done to everyone in the Ballydehob Community Council, particularly William Swanton and Tim McCarthy, for their work at this site.

Another O’Mahony tower house in a perilous state. This is all that remains of Dunbeacon castle on the north shore of the Mizen Peninsula. How long can it survive?
