I don't keep track of ultra simplistic sites, but I can tell you that your
haplotype #45660 and its companion haplotype are from what is called the
Northwest Irish R1b clade or variety. This haplotype represents one of a
populous number of descendants, most which can trace their ancestry back to
northwest Ireland. Your example has some notable mutations away from what
is called the modal example for this clade, but it is still clearly
recognizable as belonging.

Two other haplotypes in your small group seem not related within the last
many centuries, if not millennia.
