A lovely looking table. Aughrim is an interesting battlefield to visit and has a small visitor centre – which may re-open when the Irish Government is finally convinced that not a single Covid particle remains on Planet Earth?

On several visits over several years, I have yet to see it open. I think when they see a visitor pulling up they turn the sign around to say closed!

Fantastic terrain, well done!

jocknroll I think it must be a mistranslation from Gaelic – not really a centre for visitors at all?

You jest but.. TRUE STORY I was looking for Kilcommodan church ruin in a field. farmer says – are you lost? No, I'm look for a church – Kilcommodan Farmer;Its not here, You a Scottish fella? Yes, the map says its here. Have you lived here long? Farmer (with slightly raise eyebrow) – yes. All my life. What did you say it was called? Me: KilcoMMODAN (accent where a Scot would put it) Farmer: Show me the map. I do and point to it. Ah, KilCOMModan – ITS RIGHT OVER THERE IN THAT FIELD. Two Celts, separated by the SAME language
