Stones of Ireland
Get your mind off Stonehenge--you're in Ireland now. Of course, it won't be hard with these vivid images (over 20) of tombs, forts, dolmens, cairns, and crannogs--the mist fairly floats off the screen. Each is accompanied by geographical information and a brief summary. Try out the images on high-res for a sure-fire sigh.

A few choice links lead to visual examples of archeological findings, including the basic characters of Ogham, a unique (oddly simplistic) form of early Irish writing.
