Prehistoric West Cork

What’s your favourite thing to do in West Cork? Ours is to pull on our boots and go on a field trip – often archaeological. To encourage you to enjoy the wealth of prehistoric sites West Cork has to offer, I’ve made a slideshow. It’s a fairly random selection of sites, but they are all prehistoric and all visitable. The music is Sliabh na mBan by the incomparable Liam O’Flynn, from the album The Piper’s Call.

For more information on any of the sites, type its name in the search function at the top of the page. We’ve written about all of them at one time or another. Then pull on those boots!

  3. Wonderful Finola! Put a smile on my face. We are hoping to get back to your part of Ireland next spring and will add a few of these sites that I was not aware of, to the mix.

      • Yes lucky indeed, but there was surely a certain amount of skill and judgement in deciding to live here ?! or is this hubris ?! Anyway I am SO grateful to you and Robert for opening up the treasures of this place and sharing so much hard-won knowledge, which is a wisdom in its own right !
