The Stones of Time - Calendars, Sundials and Stone Chambers of Ancient Ireland, first published in 1983 as The Stars and the Stones.

The Boyne Valley Vision published in 1980 and long out of print. The book presented an interpretation of the monuments, which challenged the conclusions of earlier studies.

Pre-Christian Ireland

Pre-Christian Ireland, From the First Settlers to the Early Celts by Peter Harbison. Although one of the last corners of Europe to have been settled by man, Ireland is particularly rich in prehistoric remains. The great passage-tomb of Newgrange, has become internationally famous since the discovery of its orientation towards the rising sun at the winter solstice, and excavations at the neighbouring tomb of Knowth have given unprecedented insight into the wealth of Irish megalithic art.
