My other labour of love besides the great CHTM! is the UCD Hidden History blog which is dedicated to collating the radical and social history of the college.
I’m not able to give it as much attention as I would wish but here is a quick summary of recent updates:
– In 1930, The Irish Times mentioned that in the grounds of Belfied there is a memorial called the Twelve Apostles Well. We reckon it’s buried pretty much dead centre under the dual carriageway, opposite the Montrose Hotel.
– A video from 1930s/1940s showing a group of UCD students dress up as the Ku Klux Klan for Rag Week.
– An advertisement for the 1978 Belfield Fringe Festival. (The Stiff Little Fingers played amongst others)
– Audio from John Cooper Clarke’s gig in the UCD canteen in 1981.
– Great collection of pictures and newspaper clippings from the UCD Agricultural Society.
– A 1988 article in the Sunday World about the current state of the UCD student bar.

Come Here To Me! 
I’ve always wondered what the structure is to the right of the old 46A bus stop as you walk onto campus. In the middle of the trees around ten feet from the roadway there’s a poured concrete walled pit around thirty foot wide and ten foot deep, with a circle of trees in the middle. This is hardly the old well? It would explain it’s existence!
I can’t quite picture what your referring to.
Can you place it on a map?

Basically, in those trees between the slip road out of Belfield and the road down to the Vet building. Go venturing yourself or I’ll show you next time I’m out that direction!
