Clearly there is some ambivalence in the modern attitude to them, possibly informed by increased materialism/secularism/distance from a common rural heritage. At the same time, it doesn't appear that the Irish have embraced such sites even after emancipation from penal oppression. In fact, it would appear that there was a flight from associations with oppression from early on in the Roman Catholic revival in 19 cent. Ireland. Any views?<br /><br />Alice W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-46868997416780509522010-01-30T23:57:38.615+00:002010-01-30T23:57:38.615+00:00Looks like an unspoilt site.
