"We may, indeed, fairly conclude that we have disintombed from the relics of time the last resting-place of one who, in this island, was a great pioneer in the civilization of his fellowmen at a period when the actions of the human race, in most other parts of the world, were probably governed by no better laws than the impulses of animal passion, dictated on the spur of the moment. The preceding view, from a slightly north-westerly aspect, is engraved from a photograph taken by Charles William Hamilton, Esq., in September, 1865, while the original explorations were in progress. The upright stones seen on the left must not be mistaken as belonging to Ollamh Fodhla's tomb, being the boundary stones of the remains of an adjoining earn.

Settlement in the Irish Neolithic
Author: Jessica SmythPublisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1782977503
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
The Irish Neolithic has been dominated by the study of megalithic tombs, but the defining element of Irish settlement evidence is the rectangular timber Early Neolithic house, the numbers of which have more than quadrupled in the last ten years. The substantial Early Neolithic timber house was a short-lived architectural phenomenon of as little as 90 years, perhaps like short-lived Early Neolithic long barrows and causewayed enclosures. This book explores the wealth of evidence for settlement and houses throughout the Irish Neolithic, in relation to Britain and continental Europe. More importantly it incorporates the wealth of new, and often unpublished, evidence from developer-led archaeological excavations and large grey-literature resources. The settlement evidence scattered across the landscape, and found as a result of developer-funded work, provides the social context for the more famous stone monuments that have traditionally shaped our views of the Neolithic in Ireland. It provides the first comprehensive review of the Neolithic settlement of Ireland, which enables a more holistic and meaningful understanding of the Irish Neolithic.
