Roscam folly and other places...

lucianot

I just got this book called Hidden Galway by William Henry and I find it very entertaining albeit lacking detail but works as a trigger to find other sources.
Anyways, my question basically is if somebody knows where is the folly in Roscam? And where is the so called Justice Stone on the Oranmore-Galway road? I always thought this is the dolmen but it may only be a big rock:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Oranmore,+Ireland&hl=en&ll=53.274066,-8.943949&spn=0.000852,0.002642&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=36.915634,86.572266&vpsrc=6&hnear=Oranmore,+County+Galway,+Ireland&t=h&z=19

And where is the Menlo Dolmen exactly? One critic to this book would be the lack of a map or coordinates to find these places on a map.
Anybody can point me to these places please?
Thanks.
Cheers and happy new year.

I'm not sure if this is theMenlo Dolmen you are referring to?

I was built by the council or a developer ten or so years ago.

And the joke being?

If you zoom in a bit you can see a portal dolmen in front of the hotel that was built recently.

It is a modern folly.

You are right that that is the Justice stone its also sometimes called Judges Rock or Judges Table.

Dont know where the folly is exactly but it may be near ecclesiastical site which can be found along the shore off the Rosshill Road.

Hope this is of some sort of help.

That would be then the Menlo Folly and it's too modern to be of any interest yet
But thanks anyways!

Excellent, thanks! I always say I will go and see the tower by the sea and the old monastic site but I can't never find the time. I hope the folly is around there.
Cheers.

Here's the link to the folly, I'm not sure if it's accessible now as it's on private land.

Roscam Folly

That must be it, thank you.
Exactly in the middle of private lands...:(

I'm sure if you ask permission from the landowner they'll let you across to it. Don't ask, don't get!
