Lads,
I went driving round last weekend and found this place,
it's the Michael Cusack Centre.
Or should I say on the cul de sac road leading to the centre.
The video below shows it but what it does not show very well is that the
area I was standing could easily accomodate 3/4 cars & scopes.
Nobody would be driving on this road unless they were going into the centre and that's not gonna be happening late at night.

I can only describe it as near perfect.
I checked it out on Saturday night on the way home.
There's just one house to the North that had a light on
but it was not really visible.
one other unfinished shell of a house and that's it.
The Michael Cusack Centre did not have any light on.
There is no lights that I could see from East across South to West.
Daverons cabillion watt light is to the North also and far enough away not to matter.
The area is flat tarmac and enough space for 3/4 cars & scopes.
It's a cul de sac so no thru traffic and the road just behind is again to the North and quieter than the main road by the Dolmen.
The area is up high yet the place where your observing is in a little dip so
the wind is not so bad at all.

Probably takes the same time to get there as to the dolmen site.

If any of ye are up for a recon session in the next few weeks give me a shout!!

Here it is on a map.

One last thing I'd say is that if we do decide to go up,
I'll talk to Sean and find out who lives on the corner.,
Ask him to either talk to them or introduce us to them.
It's better to tell them who we are and what we are doing rather
then freaking them out thinking it's someting suspect going on.
