ARCHAEOLOGY
The department has seven full-time academic staff, one technician and 30 graduate students. Research is carried out on a wide range of topics in the prehistoric and early christian periods, including neolithic landscape studies, wetland archaeology, the bronze age, monastic settlements and the artistic achievements of the first millennium AD. Back-up facilities include a comprehensive slide collection, and an important feature, especially for first millennium AD studies, is an extensive photographic archive which covers international as well as national early christian monuments and objects. Plans are in hand to expand present conservation facilities. The department also has its own reading room. The Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit and the Irish stone axe project are attached to the department.

64. Knowth - Archaeological & Astronomical Legacy
A comprehensive article on the archaeology and astronomy ofKnowth, one of ireland s richest archaeological sites.
http://www.mythicalireland.com/ancientsites/knowth/knowthlegacy.html
Did Knowth's builders hold a comprehensive astronomical knowledge which they encoded in stone? An abridged version of a talk given by Anthony Murphy during Earth Day 2000 in Dublin INTRODUCTION Newgrange has long been heralded as the greatest ancient Irish site. Its beautiful Neolithic art, stunning white quartz facade and great standing stones make it a visually impressive testament to its ancient builders. In terms of archaeology, art, beauty and size, Newgrange is equalled by just one other monument - its neighbour, Knowth. A great deal has been made about the level of activity at Knowth over millenia of time. Archaeology has promoted Knowth as an ancient site which, instead of decaying when its original constructors passed on, became a focal point for many different peoples, some from radically different traditions, and many from foreign countries. Much has also been made about the great age of this site, which archaeologists tell us is 1,000 years older than Stonehenge and 500 years older than the Giza Pyramids. During the huge span of time which has passed since the earliest dated phase of activity at Knowth, which has been placed by archaeologists at 4,000BC, the site has had varied uses, which include habitation, burial, and ceremony. What the archaeology has missed, though, is the fact that the people who constructed Knowth in the fourth millennium BC, and carefully incised and picked delicate and intricate markings on the huge stones, were competent astronomers, with an advanced level of astronomical understanding.

65. Ballynahattin - Ireland's Stonehenge
Works consulted Buckley, VM, 1988, ireland s Stonehenge a lost antiquarianmonument rediscovered , archaeology ireland 2, no. 2, pps.53-54.
http://www.mythicalireland.com/ancientsites/stonehenge/irelandstonehenge.html
A huge Irish monument once dubbed Ireland's "Stonehenge", may at one time have been a "school of astronomy", where ancient skywatchers studied the risings of various heavenly bodies during the year. The ancient ceremonial enclosure, at Ballynahattin just north of Dundalk, Co. Louth, was recorded by Thomas Wright in 1758 in his 'Louthiana', a survey of castles, antiquities and ancient remains of County Louth. COMPARABLE WITH STONEHENGE Britain's Stonehenge - it seems Ireland had one too Wright described the site as the "ruinous remains of a temple or theatre on the planes (sic) of Ballynahatne, near Dundalk, enclosed on one side with a rampart and ditch, and seems to have been a great work, of the same kind with that at Stonehenge in England, being open to the East and composed of like circles of stones within." "But it appears to be much older, many of the stones being broke, and others removed: The number of large ones in the outward circle, I judge to have been originally ten . . ." His drawing of the site shows a massive circle of stones outside the earthwork and a double ring of smaller stones in the interior. BALLYNAHATTIN - THE SITE THAT DISAPPEARED!

It incorporates the latest discoveries, along with a full listing of symbols and their possible meaning, a complete gazetteer, and location maps with ordnance survey grid references. The Picts were a Dark Age warrior race which ruled Scotland for 500 years. They left a legacy of carved stones, still to be found throughout the country in churchyards, museums and private collections. This book lists all known stones - some 630 examples - whether complete or fragmentary, pagan or Christian, and those lost to us now. Descriptions are given of the three classes of stone.

67. Tracing Ireland's Lost Archaeology
Much of ireland s archaeological artefacts either lost much of the information associatedwith their discovery or were dispersed through their sale and auction
http://doi.ucc.ie/archcoll.html
By computerising and matching antiquarian records with museum registers this project aims to re-identify unprovenanced artefacts in Irish national collections and to trace objects of Irish provenance in museums abroad. A database of Irish antiquarian collectors and dealers also will be compiled. The initial focus is on the collection of William Knowles of Antrim much of which was dispersed in a five-day auction. Research is initially concentrated on 15,000 objects acquired by Alexander Keiller. In contrast, the drawings of Irish material collected by the Danish antiquarian J.J.A. Worsaae will help re-identify objects whose significance has been lost. It is only within the last 100 years that there was a common acceptance that collections of archaeological objects should be retained for future scientific purposes and as an aid to studying the past. Until then some archaeological objects were kept with other forms of curiosites in many small, short-lived museums (see leaflet for Youghal museum.) Most were initially held in private collections, from which they were as likely to be scattered through auctions or by being swapped as duplicates for items from other collections. Much of Ireland's archaeological artefacts either lost much of the information associated with their discovery or were dispersed through their sale and auction. As a result large numbers of items are now only known to come from Ireland or in many cases have been exported to other countries. This project hopes to rediscover material which has been exported and re-identify objects which have lost their provenance through the re-evaluation of antiquarian drawings (see

The convention used on this page is to indicate radiocarbon dates in lower case letters (bc), versus the use of upper case letters (BC) for alternate dating estimates. The Ice Ages Caught in the ebb and flow of the last Ice Ages over the last 2 million years, Ireland was at various times largely glaciated and completely land-locked as a part of the continent of Europe. Ireland was an island about 125,000 years ago when the sea level appears to have been very close to its present position. The sea level dropped 130 m (426 feet) or more during the interval from around 30,000 to 15,000 years ago, when Ireland became part of continental Europe [again], and sea levels have been generally rising ever since, albeit at a much slower rate. The image to the left represents the land mass of Europe near the time of the last glacial maximum (minus the ice sheets and the ocean water). Take a close look at the "British peninsula" and the outline of Ireland and Great Britain upon it.

More Europe Destinations Ireland is a country of striking contrasts. It is English speaking and yet not English. It is Catholic, yet a strong residue of paganism lies just beneath a thin veneer of Christianity. This country has the greatest surviving concentration of field monuments to be seen anywhere in Europe. And each megalithic tomb, early Christian site or medieval castle has been invested by succeeding generations with a rich encrustation of myth and folklore. FAR HORIZONS proudly presents a 15-day exploration of Ireland that offers a rare chance to see historic and archaeological sites that few visitors manage to find. We will visit prehistoric stone circles, passage tombs and forts, explore the remains of lovely abbeys and monasteries built hundreds of years ago, examine exquisite High Crosses, and walk the battlements of castles where history was made.
