The Abandoned Structure

Believed to represent a tomb to the Celtic Tiger.
Achill henge was constructed over a weekend in November 2011 by Joe McNamara, a property developer and convicted criminal. A team of workers hauled the large concrete slabs up the hill and sank them in the bog.
Mayo County Council requested a court order to force McNamara to remove the edifice as it had been built without planning permission. McNamara claimed that the structure was exempt from planning rules as an "ornamental garden".
Theresa McDonald, Director of the Achill Archaeological Field School, also raised objections on the grounds that the structure may be less than 500 m (1,600 ft) from a Bronze-Age archaeological site.
The High Court required McNamara to cease further work on the site, and, as he was found to be in breach of this, he was jailed for three days for contempt of court. The Court referred the planning decision to An Bord Pleanala, which in July 2012 upheld the Council's decision.
Some local people have expressed admiration for the work as a feat of engineering, and a newspaper poll found a majority of locals in support of keeping the structure.
On 8 January 2012, it was featured as part of the Prime Time programme on RTÉ 1 in Ireland.

Bloody great work of art. Built over a weekend in Achill. Leave it be. If there was planning permission needed centuries ago there would be no great houses or castles or monasteries. They would be required to use mica blocks

Ireland's answer to Stone Henge?? Or the beginning of a building that wasn't finished?? Very interesting.

The story of it is in the description it was built in a weekend to represent the Celtic tiger in Ireland but he was told he had to stop building due to having no permission
