Flickr is sometimes a bit to the right - in 1977 via [https://www.flickr.com/photos/catb/] [https://www.flickr.com/photos/catb/491115951/] Google satellite has a fascinating jigsaw of walled fields around there - www.google.com/maps/place/Teampall+an+Ceathrar+%C3%81lain...

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland] I was just thinking t'other day, the NLI and/or one of the clever Flickroonies should google map all these 'Irish Tourism Association' photos of lesser known and half-forgotten attractions and publish online a guided tour of them. "A 1942 Detour of Ireland", avoiding all the usual tourist traps and crowds. Similar to Geocaching.com . Virtual sticky buns for proof of visit etc. Seven so far - www.flickr.com/photos/tags/irishtourismassociation

Many thanks for the photo. The nearby well was said to have a cure for blindness. Synge is said to have been inspired to write his play ‘The Well of the Saints’ after visiting here. He set the play in the east of the country, probably Wicklow.
