A large board on the old Top Of The Hill community centre, Gobnascale, Derry, showing a prancing stallion in front of a (neolithic) dolmen and (mediaeval) round tower (perhaps the missing tower where Long Tower now stands).
There is a thought that “Gobnascale” is Irish for “field of the stallion” (McLaughlin 1999).
Also on the community centre (in 1981): A Political Prisoner Of War.
