Forgot while thinking "live" on air that I had also written, quite significantly, about Ireland's Stonehenge in my new book, 'Mythical Ireland: New Light on the Ancient Past'.

Fascinating story. Amazing Irish history still being discovered, I wonder what else is still waiting to be found.

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

Lots

[@thomassheridanii2118]

Tremendous work guys. Wow!

[@doctorofart]

Hmmmm, 36 posts, a calendar? 10 degrees each for alignment of stars? And time? Interesting. Amazing discovery. Good stuff.

[@PanglossDr]

Is it not 37?

[@kierancunningham8690]

Congrats lads

[@markkavanagh7377]

Congratulations, it's a great story.

[@diggyd]

Well done Anthony, keep flying those drones!

[@RaiderfaninNM1]

So fascinating! Doesnt Knowth has a "Woodhenge" out front, if I remember correctly? Any other digging around this going on or are the farmers going to continue on ?

[@MimiYouyu]

What is happening with the site, are they digging? Such a very exciting find.

[@mythicalireland]

No digging planned. It's on an active farm and will probably be under crop again this summer.

In my ancestry is Irish on my moms side and on my dads I have more of a mix yet the largest % is two Native American tribes. I only ever started looking into my Irish heritage a cpl years ago when I did a search & study of my Irish roots. This stuff is so wild to me and I try not to jump to any conclusions cause it charges the more information I find. Does anyone else think that ancient ppl in Ireland could be lost tribes of Hebrews?

[@marynollaig4124]

Does nobody see the door on it?

[@mythicalireland]

Yep. It's become known as "the porch". This feature is discussed in detail in my Dronehenge book.

Mr. Williams should have let Mr. Murphy speak without cutting him off so often. If I were Murphy, I'd have told him to piss off with his interuptions.

[@caterpillakilla]

this is not an irish archaelogist. i studied irish archaeology and no it wasnt hurling.
