[edit] Cleanup

This article is good, but needs a thorough wikification. Denni☯

[edit] Pictures of Ringforts?

Any have a few for this? Two or three different ones would go nicely with this article.--Jjcarroll 16:00, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image license request received

I have received the photographer's GDFL release for these images: http://www.uvm.edu/~jleonard/Ireland/ringfort1.jpg & http://www.uvm.edu/~jleonard/Ireland/ringfort2.jpg

which he describes as being of the "Island of Inishmaan (the middle island of the three Aran Islands)".

[edit] Excellent Article!

You should try and get it on wikipedia as a featured article. Great work! Wish I could write something this good. Fergananim

[edit] Possible mistake?

In the section titled c.600 - c.900 AD, second paragraph, you state "The most common theory however is that ringforts are the product of the later half of the second millennium", shouldn't this bee the "latter half of the first mellennium"?

[edit] Caher Redirect

Caher was an older spelling, and is a frequent misspelling for the town of Cahir in County Tipperary. Would a disambiguation rather than a redirect not be more appropriate? RashersTierney (talk) 16:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. It might be better to convert Caher to a DAB page that links Cahir, Ringfort, Caher Island, Caher (mountain), etc. If you want to start I'll help. Guliolopez (talk) 17:20, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Visited the tutorials on DABs. Still trying to take it in. Not trying to avoid the work but this could take some time. RashersTierney (talk) 00:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

OK - Don't worry about it. I'll start the DAB and you can chip in. (Minor role reversal). Guliolopez (talk) 00:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
