The name 'Temair' does in fact originate from a much later date than the Fir Bolg occupation. It is the Gaelic name for the site, and probably refers to the Lia Faill, which of course was not placed there until the reign of Lludd Llawereint. This should have been mentioned on pp. 34, line 9.
Further research has shown that the fourth millennium B.C. tidal wave, though minor in comparison with what happened circa 9600 B.C., had an impact upon shoreline cultures all over the globe. This should hve been mentioned on pp. 43, third paragraph.
The absence of Geoffrey of Monmouth and Nennius from the bibliography is due to a bias against medieval accounts. Because of this shortcoming, information in Nennius on the Picts was overlooked. They were basically the same people as the Gaels, late arrivals from Scythia who integrated with giants in the north and with Britons in the south. This should have been mentioned on pp. 53, line 9.
The last five Ogam symbols on pp. 96 were late additions representing Celtic dipthongs.
