Heritage is described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as “our legacy from the past, what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations”. Ireland is a country rich in heritage and culture and has long recognised the importance of preserving this for future generations. Our Irish culture and heritage has created the spirit and identity of our people throughout the world and makes us what we are today with our distinctive characteristics. WORLD HERITAGE AND IRELAND Ireland signed the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in 1991. This brings with it both opportunities and obligations; Ireland as the “State Party” commits to nominating examples of exceptional heritage sites to the World Heritage List and to manage and protect these sites sustainably into the future. A World Heritage Site is a property that has been inscribed onto the World Heritage List by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO. Properties can be either of cultural or natural significance or a combination of the two (mixed). Cultural heritage refers to monuments, groups of buildings and sites with historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological value.

  • Field Trip - the Burren and Cliffs of Moher

    Field Trip - the Burren and Cliffs of Moher

    Field Trip - The Burren and Cliffs of Moher Friday 24 August 2012 – Full Day The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top attractions- recently appeared in Harry Potter's Half-Blood Prince and of course the movie classic The Princess Bride! This tour is a MUST for any visitor to Galway. Taking you along Galway Bay, your first stop is at the fishing village of Kinvara to see Dunguaire Castle. The castle was built in 1520 by the O'Hynes clan on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay. This restored 16th century tower house sits on a rocky outcrop on the shores of Galway Bay, 300 yards outside the village of Kinvara. We then travel on into The Burren- home to 75% of Ireland's native flora & location of numerous ancient monuments many of which we visit including the Gleninsheen Wedge Tomb, the 5,800 year old Poulnabrone Dolmen and Ballyalban Fairy Fort. We visit Aillwee Caves, perched high on its Burren terraced mountainside with what has to be one of the most spectacular views of Galway Bay. The tour consists of a 30 minute stroll through the beautiful caverns – over bridged chasms, under weird formations and alongside the thunderous waterfall which sometimes gently sprays the unsuspecting visitor! Marvel at the frozen waterfall and explore the now extinct brown bears bones (ursos arctos). Stopping also at Kilfenora to see the famous Celtic Crosses (Irish High Crosses), we make our way to the coastal village of Doolin, stopping for lunch, before visiting the 200-metre high, 8kms long Cliffs of Moher.

    Lecture to Old Carlow Society February 2000 1 Joseph.M.Feeley. Dunleckney, Bagenalstown, Co Carlow. 2nd Edition 2/05 Lecture to Old Carlow Society February 2000 2 Carlow Dolmens Introduction; Our interest in this topic began in 1995 when I began to do research on possible patterns to the siting of dolmens in Co Carlow and neighbouring counties. This research conducted from maps ended in failure. During the summer of 1996 my good friend and partner in crime Roger Jones suggested looking for solar alignments. We checked out all known dolmens in sight of the Mount Leinster Range . The only site to have both a clear view of the mountain range and with the proper alignment angle is at Ballynasillog just north of Borris. Establishing that it monitored two important solar events in early Spring and late Autumn meant getting up in the dark for nearly two years to check this out fully. One reason why it took so long was that Roger wanted to get the perfect photo of the sun rising in the Sculloge Gap. Glad to say that he eventually got his picture. The second phase began last September when I was asked by your chairman to give this lecture. Such a request concentrated my mind wonderfully and I returned to my original quest of finding a pattern in the siting of dolmens. The Inventory of Archaeological Sites in County Carlow published by the OPW was our main reference source. In addition the Discovery Series Maps (published by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland) and the Geological Survey maps were regularly consulted.

(Map by Noel McCarthy) inside the boulder circle, including the chamber, was at a later stage encased in a large cairn of stones. This would have made the chamber entirely concealed and inaccessible thereafter. Listoghil also stands out as the only monument with mega - lithic art, consisting of faint concentric circles carved onto the south-eastern edge of the roof slab, and a finely pecked hook-like symbol on the inside of the pointed wall stone forming the south- east side of the chamber. Despite their uniform simple construction, the deposits of bones and the various objects found with them make it obvious that the Carrowmore tombs were part and parcel of the same ritu - al tradition as the larger and more complex passage tombs in the Boyne Valley or at Loughcrew. The difference might be that Carrowmore in general represents a slightly earlier phase of the passage tomb tradition in Ireland. Date Above: Carrowmore 51: chamber with surrounding cairn removed.

    NEOLITHIC IRELAND and BRITAIN (Part 1)

    NEOLITHIC IRELAND AND BRITAIN (Part 1) By Mike McPhee [Text of an address to the Sydney Unitarian Church on 21 February 2021.] When I chose this title, all that ‘Neolithic’ meant to me was the New Stone Age – and all I knew about that was that it was a period when the most advanced stone tools were developed and when the megalithic structures you’ll be seeing today were constructed. However, it turns out that there is much more to the Stone Ages – just looking at Europe, they were: 1. the Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age) from 1.6 million years ago to 15,000 years ago 2. the Mesolithic Era from 15,000 to 5000 years ago; and 3. the Neolithic Era from 7000 to 1700 BCE (The dates are necessarily approximate and there is some overlap because the progression moved more rapidly in Southern Europe than in Northern Europe.} It will be clear from the dates that the Paleolithic Era began before modern humans evolved. This should not surprise us, as it is known that our precursors, such as Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis used tools made from stone, wood and bone. However, the earliest stone tools were fairly simple, consisting of core tools and the flakes that were broken off them. Similarly, the first wooden tools, such as spears, were merely shaped with stone hand-axes or knives: It should be added that the end of the Paleolithic Era corresponds to the final phases of the Pleistocene Ice Age, which lasted from 2.6 Mya to 11,700 BP.

House walls stand higher than a person’s head, and chambers in tombs display outstanding masonry skill. The diversity of evidence is also striking, from settlements to chambered tombs, stone circles and their quarries. There is varied material culture, especially in the Late Neolithic, with the presence of Grooved Ware pottery and a wide array of stone objects, including stone balls and maceheads. New discoveries continue, not only on small, outlying and previously neglected islands, such as of the settlement of Braes of Ha’Breck, on Wyre (Thomas & Lee 2012), but also in areas long trodden, such as of the settlement complexes of Barnhouse (Richards 2005), Ness of Brodgar (Towers et al.
