Oileáin na hEireann
The “Classical Irish Island”, according to archaeologist Paul Gosling, is “replete with…
- a megalithic tomb
- a hilltop cairn
- a medieval parish church
- the site of a watermill
- a smattering of ringforts or coastal promontory forts, and
- a number of miscellaneous hut and house sites”
He is hardly exaggerating: the average Irish square mile, like the average Irish soul, seems to teem with the workings of a long human history.
