    Ceide Fields

    With most of it lying hidden under the wild boglands, like an iceberg under the sea, we can only get a glimpse of the extensive stone-age system of walls, fields, dwelling houses and megalithic tombs. This system of walls is over 6,000 years old - the oldest such structure in the world.
  • Hennigan's Heritage Centre

    Hennigan's Heritage Centre

    At Hennigan's Heritage Centre, curious visitors will take a step back in time and get an insight into rural life in Ireland in times past. Enter the farmhouse cottage, sit by the turf fire and hear stories about the life and times of the family of Tom Hennigan. He'll also show you farm and household tools used before modern conveniences became available, and amuse you with tales from long ago. It is a great place for children to visit and an important way for them to connect with past generations.
