A massive Stonehenge-esque structure appeared on an Achill hilltop last weekend. The man behind the clandestine project, the purpose of which remains unclear, is Achill native Joe McNamara, also known as ‘The Anglo Avenger’. The structure – dubbed Achill-henge – was built without planning permission. Towering nearly 15 feet from its base, it is 30 metres in diameter and has a circumference of close to 100 metres. It is believed that the project is based on Stonehenge in more than just appearance. Reportedly it has also been built to sync with sunrise on the summer and winter solstices and March and September equinoxes.

wow, ik heb het doorgelinkt naar facebook!
Wat GEWELDIG!!
Poor Joe is in prison now for defying a court order to tear the whole thing down again.
Gelukkig biedt een enquete in de lokale Mayo News hoop: 80% van de ondervraagden wil dat Achill-Henge blijft staan. And do not forget to FREE JOE!
