Re: NIAH website: houses of Clare, aerial photography
Thank you for this info, Paddy. We've added a link to the NIAH from our Archaeology page, and we’ll be adding individual links from individual pages in that section to individual pages of the NIAH. The aerial photos (combined with the maps) are really useful. Clare Admin
