I have been going through my books to better organize them and I found one I had forgotten about on the Carrowkeel site in Ireland. What caught my attention is that in the back of the book there is a list of eight pages of sites in the area. There are a lot of sites included that probably wouldn't fit in here, but I'm sure there are 30-40 sites that would be on interest. They have the Irish grid so it wouldn't be a problem to insert them. I've looked at my maps and the few I have looked at seem to work well.
I have also seen that it is possible a couple of the listed sites here are off, though I haven't looked very hard yet. I did see one or two that may be off. If I can verify, both with the book I have and the maps, that there are some errors how can I have them fixed?
The book I have is called A Guide to the Carrowkeel/Keshcorran Megalithic Complex. I picked it up a few years ago in the Carrowmore center I think. It was written in 1996 and has a number of pictures of the tombs along with some history. I haven't had a chance to read through it as I only just found it the other day.

Edward,
We would very much appreciate it if you could spare some time to check and update out site list with what's in your book. You can add new sites to our list quite easily using the 'Add a new site' form in the menu to the left.
If you need to make any corrections to places we already list, just leave a comment on the relevant page and we'll see it and have a look
Thanks in advance,
Andy

thinking of which, the Multimap popup (green square and circle icon) for the Irish sites gives a good view from the Irish OS maps, which includes many of the sites, for many, but not all, places, if the map is zoomed in to 1:50,000 scale, from the default 1:100,000.
This is a big improvement over the basic road map style presentation we get by default.

I have submited 11 of the 14 tomb sites for the Carrowkeel complex. I am still searching for more information on cairn A. I have also left comments for Cairns G and K, both of which used the same location. I will update what the book says about each of the cairns when I get a chance.
