Sir, – Manchán Magan (Magazine, August 5th) seems to confuse fact with opinion in his piece on Céide Fields.
His/Prof Seamus Caulfield's opinion regarding my recent article in the European Journal of Archaeology – in which I question the Stone Age origins of the field boundaries – should be balanced against the professional judgment of the peer reviewers and editors of one of the world's leading archaeological journals. Any readers wishing to review the evidence for themselves can access the article, published online January 9th, 2017 on the The European Journal of Archaeology (at https://doi.org/10.1017/eaa.2016.5). – Yours, etc,
Dr ANDREW
