My translation of Moneygashel may be a little wide of the mark but I am always open to correction. As I read it the translation is Món na gCashel or the Bog of the Castle? Whatever the translation is this Mason image of a stone age fort near Blacklion in County Cavan shows a vast collection of stones drawn from a stony landscape. Looking at that house in the background one suspects that the fort was pillaged at one time?

From the NIAH: Description: Raised circular area (int. diam. 24.7m) enclosed by a massive stone wall. Within the thickness of the wall there is an external stairway at S comprising seven steps, and two internal stairways at NW and NE, both of which have been blocked up. A souterrain (CV004-016003-) entrance is visible in the external face of the wall at S. A largely blocked-up water conduit, which it is believed (Richardson 1938, 20, and local information) carried water to the site from a stream higher up on the hill, is visible in the internal face of the wall at S. (Milligan 1890-1, 580-2; Lowry-Corry and Richardson 1937, 163-4; Richardson and Lowry-Corry 1938, 21)

Thanks to the Suck Diesel connection and via some some dodgy wikidata shuffling in esperanto the picture has landed on the German Wikipedia, where other links can be found: www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=6333401, & www.irishmegaliths.org.uk/zMoneygashel.htm

Acutally the update says "Dies ist eine ungesichtete Version. Alle 2 Änderungen müssen gesichtet werden, bevor sie Benutzern standardmäßig angezeigt werden." (Leagan neamhfheicthe é seo. Ní mór gach 2 athrú a athbhreithniú sula dtaispeánfar d'úsáideoirí iad de réir réamhshocraithe aka This is an unseen version. All 2 changes must be reviewed before they are displayed to users by default.) So it is being hidden until the Germans are happy. Its always great craic on a continental language Wiki.
