[OC] Distribution of recorded Souterrains in Ireland

I've created an updated map showing the distribution of all recorded Souterrains across Ireland. These mainly date to the early medieval period. Definition is included on the map for reference.

The map is populated with a combination of National Monument Service data (Republic of Ireland) and Department for Communities data for Northern Ireland. The map was built using some PowerQuery transformations and then designed in QGIS.

I've taken on helpful feedback from various comments so please do keep them coming as I love making these maps and am keen to keep improving on them.

How much do you think you could determine about me purely based on my bones?

If you had all my bones (including my teeth) how much to you think you could determine about my life. This is assuming you had no other context clues.

[OC] Distribution of Henges in Ireland

I've created an updated map showing the distribution of all recorded henges across Ireland.

The map is populated with a combination of National Monument Service data (Republic of Ireland) and Department for Communities data for Northern Ireland. The map was built using some PowerQuery transformations and then designed in QGIS. I appreciate there's not many of these (around 30), but definitely a cluster around the Boyne Valley.

Timber henges haven't been included as far as I can tell in the data, and are obviously much more patchy given how much harder they are to identify.

I have also previously mapped a bunch of other ancient monument types on Reddit, the latest being cairns across Ireland.

I've taken on helpful feedback from various comments so please do keep them coming as I love making these maps and am keen to keep improving on them.
