Much isn't told because WE COULDN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Oh, wait; that's
a Jack Nicholson line from a movie... Actually, we CAN handle the
truth and archaologists and historians have shared their best efforts
with the public for years. That diffusionists are blinded by their
personal agendas is akin to attention deficit disorder. What were we
discussing? Right, the ancient Irish in the New World before Columbus.
You'll get back with more on that "one Irishman," won't you?

Sooner or later. But what I am a bit confused about is that you didn't give
a dating of the bridge. Was the stonebridge you started describing and other
stone works there when the rail road came? Seen a lot of such in Bohuslän
and in Östergötland here in Sweden. Many of them here looking more or less
alike dates from Viking Age up to end of Medieval Age.

By one of those funny coincidence which life is filled of my mother happened
to phone me about a road in the midle of the 'Världsarvs' Tanum's. The road
close to Underslös in Tanum's parish(Northern Bohuslän, Viken called during
Viking Age earlier Ranriki) where an almost identical bridge(don't know
date) was that came to be part of a road built in 1930's. One of the first
jobs my father started working at. I haven't found a picture on net of that
bridge, but I will keep looking.
