When the Celts first arrived in Ireland around 250BC, the island had already been inhabited for over 7,000 years. These pre-Celtic peoples have left no written records, but they have left extensive archaeological evidence, of which Newgrange is the most celebrated example. Who were these peoples and how did they live? Using archaeological evidence, Laurence Flanagan pieces together the sort of houses they built, the way they cultivated the land, their social and economic systems, and many other aspects of daily life in pre-Celtic Ireland. Combining scholarship with an accessible style, the book provides a unique and fascinating insight into a lost, fabled world.

A Dictionary of Irish Archaeology

This invaluable work of reference lists all the major excavated sites and all the major finds, including hoards, which are important to the study of Irish archaeology. Ranging in time from the Mesolithic period to the end of the Medieval era, it provides students and excavators alike with an authoritative overview of their subject. Ireland is particularly rich in archaeological remains. Newgrange, in County Meath, is perhaps the most famous and best excavated passage tomb in Europe. The country abounds in material both from prehistoric and historical periods, not least in religious sites. In addition to entries on all these, Laurence Flanagan also deals with subjects as diverse as mining, ordnance, standing stones, earthworks and hammers.
