Excellent resource and previously difficult to access. The Cambridge photo collection (CUCAP).
Ignore the mapping - it doesn't work.

Some fantastic images there Simon!
The image of the Rath of the Synods is quite interesting, and clearly shows some of the damage done to the monument by an ill-informed group of Israelites who believed the Ark of the Covenant was buried within. Needless to say, they didn't find it!

Geohive has updated its imagery to include 'Aerial Premium'. It's not on a par with the latest (though patchy) Google Earth imagery from the incredibly dry summer of 2018 but well worth a look.

I've been using the monuments viewer as a great guide when out and about https://maps.archaeology.ie/HistoricEnvironment/

As most will know, it doesn't include much/any information on sites in N.I.

Is there a similar resource available that includes similar items for the North?
Main items of interest being old maps (overlayable), archaeological and architectural monuments
