Faerie Forts

Description

This book is about a particular type of prehistoric monument that, although has comparable examples on mainland Britain and parts of western Europe, developed within Ireland into a unique tradition of monument construction that is of such complexity and quantity that we are only now beginning to comprehend its true significance. 

This is the hidden heritage of the Irish landscape, a heritage that is almost everywhere, often forgotten and sometimes entirely hidden, yet within these monuments is contained almost the entire prehistoric story.

This is the story of Irelands unique and mysterious faerie forts.
