    If only someone would invent a way of representing a 3D landscape on a 2D image. If only someone would invent a way of representing a large area on a smaller area. Perhaps if someone invented such a thing, they would call it a map ?

    If only someone would invent a way of looking for information that they didn't know. Perhaps you could call it a search engine?

    :D

    Knockdramagh is here :

    very droll.thanks for the answer. i did do quite a few searches on maps but the source was old and it had the wrong spelling, so the searches didn't work out.so maybe it would have been easier for you to tell me that my spelling was wrong.

    I would if I had known your spelling was wrong. I had it all typed out before I went looking at Google Maps, and couldn't find it, so I looked around Myshall and found Knockdramagh. At that stage I couldn't have been arsed deleting the rest of my wittiness! :D

    Too true. Cartographic wit is so hard to find.

    Assuming you can get to Myshall village, take the road to Garryhill at the bottom of the village (marked Croppy Road). Keep straight out that road and you will come to a long downhill section after 1.5/2 miles. That's Knockdramagh hill. The turn to the left will bring you over towards Rathnageeragh.

    Knockdrumagh = Cnoc Druimeach = Hill of the Ridges/Backs *Hill of the thieves*
    Rathnageeragh = Rath na gCaorac = Fort of the Sheep
