          slaughtered for Muslim consumption must face Mecca.) There is
          no doubt that in the future, by careful observation and the use of
          modern geophysical instruments, archaeologists and others will
          discover  much  more  about  this  special  area,  provided  it  is
          recognised and protected. It was only as recently as 1993 that
          the only horizontal water mill so far identified in Co Wicklow was
          discovered  at  Newcastle.  Every  year  new  and  interesting
          discoveries are being made.

              As a member of the countrywide Hillwalkers’ Association, I
          sometimes lead walks around this historic area, and a while ago
          I did so on behalf of the Roundwood and District Historical and
          Folklore Society. As a result, they asked me if I would write an
          article on the walk, describing what we saw and experienced so
          that it might be of interest to a wider public.
