In 2018 Anthony Murphy discovered a previously unknown henge in a field near Newgrange, the day after the discovery I took this photo so I could learn what to look for in other areas of the country. The Henge is visible as there was a drought and only areas of the soil that were previously disturbed contained more moisture and therefore the grass above was a healthier dark green shade. A few days later I discovered forts in Dundalk using the same method.

I am from Lahinch in County Clare and have been visiting the ancient sites of Ireland since 2015. I am very interested how the doorway of stone circles always seem to be purposefully pointed at the sunrise or sunset at key times of the year. This suggests that the people who built these forts thousands of years ago had a deep understanding of astronomy and were more advanced than we give them credit for.
I also film and edit music videos, see below for my latest work -
