Some conflict archaeology spotted on our Far Horizons archaeology tour. Repairs to the bridge at the W.B. Yeats home of Thoor Ballylee, Galway, carried out after it was blown by Anti-Treaty forces during the Civil War. They preserve a "ghost" of that wartime damage (marked with red arrows).

I wake in a dark flat
To the soft roar of the world.
Pigeons neck on the white
Roofs as I draw the curtains
And look out over London
Rain-fresh in the morning light.

This is our element, the bright
Reason on which we rely
For the long-term solutions.
