| In 1842 a German writer and geographer called Johann Georg Kohl travelled around Ireland, |
 |
| he observed, “Ireland is the country for ruins. Here you have ruins of every period of history, from the time of the Phoenicians down to the present day. |
 |
| Not a lot has changed since then, other than subsequent decades supplementing the number of ruins found here almost 180 years ago. |
 |
| A well-preserved ruin, masonry cleaned up, gravel paths installed, regularly cut lawns, can no doubt expect a longer twilight life. For those who need the masonry to crumble because of the ivy, the experience will always disappoint. |
