Let our High Kings sleep in peace

IN some parts of Ireland, over 60% of all national monuments have been destroyed - 30-40% in the past 150 years alone.

It remains untold what destruction took place during English rule in Ireland, especially with regard to standing stones, dolmens and stone circles.

Many monuments between 2,000 and 7,000 years old have been eradicated after becoming the target of farmers, land developers and those engaged in mindless destruction of our national heritage.
