Ollamh Fodhla: Discovery of the Tomb of Ollamh Fodhla, by Eugene A. Conwell.
First published in 1873, now available as a facsimile edition, published in 2005.
Later research was to prove Loughcrew Cairn T to be a Neolithic (Stone Age) tomb,

However this short book (69 pages) is still worth having for the drawings of the symbols on the
Cairns at Loughcrew. More... |
