Thanks for your pictures of this and other sites ShamrockStone. Any chance you could send us a description of the sites and how to access them ?

One further point though, Looking at the pictures, I dont think that this site should rate at anything better than a 3, perhaps even a 2, yet you rate it as a 5 for condition.
5=perfect. 3=reasonable but with some damage.

It looks far from complete to me, and indeed looks to have some modern walling alterations.
