Early Medieval Ireland is one of the phases of Irish history which most attracts international attention, as Ireland looms large in European history in the period after the fall of the Roman empire.

On present evidence the human settlement of Ireland commenced some ten thousand years ago and the prehistoric story thus covers over eight and a half thousand years.

Finally back in print, this reissued edition presents evidence suggesting the builders of monuments such as Newgrange and its Boyne Valley counterparts were adept astronomers, cunning engineers and capable surveyors.

'The sheer amount of information contained within the book is mind-boggling. It is well thought out and structured . . . The more you read the evidence the more convinced you become.'   Astronomy & Space magazine
