New Archaeological Heritage Map of Ireland in Google Earth

The Archaeological Institute of America has released a new Archaeological Heritage Map of Ireland for Google Earth.

The map features a series of archaeological and historical sites in Ireland - most of which are popular visitor sites.

Nice to see the AIA putting together something on Ireland. It would be good to see the National Monuments Service records in KML. Presently they are available on their online GIS viewer.

New GEO-Education website

I have uploaded a selection of Google Earth visualisations on a new GEO-Education website GeoNEED.


The website is provides some very interesting Google Earth maps and photo tours.





The GeoNEED website was launched as part of an international project (Northern Environmental Education Development) between Ireland, Finland, Norway and Iceland.
