Here are all recorded standing stone locations across the whole of 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 previously mapped a bunch of other ancient monument types, the latest being medieval abbeys across Ireland.
Any thoughts about the map or insights would be very welcome.

For those who want to see the data sources check out [NMS here ](https://www.archaeology.ie/collections-and-publications/publications/monument-class-and-scope-notes/)and the [UK Open Data here](https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/46240fa5-db15-469e-b1c8-0460504b951c/northern-ireland-sites-and-monuments-record). For the tooling, I used QGIS and PowerQuery (Excel).
