Dear Prof. Leonard,
I found your page (http://www.uvm.edu/~jleonard/Ireland/) while doing
research for the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia, and thought
several of your images might be appropriate for inclusion in our
articles concerning Irish ringforts.
I am specifically seeking your permission to use these images:

http://www.uvm.edu/~jleonard/Ireland/ringfort2.jpg
I would like to include your image in these articles:

Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/) is a free encyclopedia that is
collaboratively edited by volunteers from around the world. Our goal
is to create a comprehensive knowledge base that may be freely
distributed and available at no charge.
Normally we ask permission for material to be used under the terms of
the GNU Free Documentation License. This means that although you
retain the copyright and authorship of your own work, you are granting
permission for all others (not just Wikipedia) to use, copy, and share
your materials freely -- and even potentially use them commercially --
so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, nor
prevent others from using or copying them freely.

We choose the GFDL because we consider it the best available tool for
ensuring our encyclopedia can remain free for all to use, while
providing credit to everyone who donates text and images. This may or
may not be compatible with your goals in creating the materials
available on your website. Please be assured that if permission is not
granted, your materials will not be used at Wikipedia -- we have a
very strict policy against copyright violations.
With your permission, we will credit you for your work in the image's
permanent description page, noting that it is your work and is used
with your permission, and we will provide a link back to your website.
We invite your collaboration in writing and editing articles on this
subject and any others that might interest you. Please see the

Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Rich <personal detail deleted>
PS: Any further information on the exact location or name of the
pictured ringfort would be much appreciated. In addition I may want to
downsize the images a little from their current size - please indicate
if you would be happy with my doing so.
RESPONSE FROM COPYRIGHT HOLDER
Hi Rich,
You have my permission to use those images (below) of Ringforts. The one
in the image is on the Island of Inishmaan (the middle island of the three
Aran Islands).
Thanks for checking with me about the image use.
Jonathan
