Isn't Dun Aeongus the one built by the Victorians based on their idealised notions of an ancient briton promontory fort? Perhaps fina fail could build a fairytale castle on the hill of Tara as the modern irish version, the home of the high king. People have never liked it when history, archaeology and science contradict their imagined versions of the past and present.

I don't have height issues, but there were people sitting on the edge and crouching down to get good photos and I felt sick watching them. I got to about 10 yards from the edge holding onto to one of the walls. Still get the jitters thinking about it. here’s an image for anyone wondering http://www.conference.ie/imageupload/Dun_Aengus.jpg

Also agree with Graham... a few days there in the Winter is the best possible escape from the world you can get.... well maybe apart from a bottle of brandy. Funny how everyone is so nice to you in tourist places though... i always get the impression they sit around after we've gone and go .....SUCKERS.....

It's THE best time of the year to go see it, if you ask me. For a start there are almost no tourists, so you get a much better sense of life on the Island. The weather was incredible then. It was very mild and mostly sunny. The small amount of rain that did fall was quite peaceful and the light on the island is so good, even on the dullest of days.
