About This Book

A systematic survey of Irish antiquities organized by topic, with chapters on stone monuments (megaliths, pillar and holed stones, rock art), burial monuments and ogham inscriptions, raths and stone forts, the Stone and Bronze Ages, lake‑dwellings, early churches and decorated ecclesiastical art, high crosses and round towers, medieval metalwork, abbeys and castles, and town defenses and bridges. Entries combine descriptive accounts, plans, and illustrations with comparative observations and practical commentary, urging more scientific, supervised excavation and conservation to protect and properly interpret ancient sites.
