In the Irish National Heritage Park in County Wexford, you will get a true picture of the Irish history.

 

In 6000 thousand years ago the Irish used to live in such kind of houses. The houses were all made of reed and chimneys were not used yet. Here is our nice tour guide doing her summer job.

 

The reed roofs are a bit similar to Estonian reed roofs, but the shapes of the houses are totally different. No windows, no chimneys, just big roofs.

 

On such kind of a ground, the Druids worshipped their gods and made sacrifices to them. If you were lucky enough to be chosen, then in the middle of the stone circle your head was chopped off and the gods were supposed to fulfil the wishes of the people, or not 🙂

1500 years ago the people started to build Ringforts and all their life went on inside it. It was used for herding the animals, doing your everyday tasks and also for protecting you from the enemy.

 

One Celtic Cross – beautiful with its colours.

From Viking’s Age, which started from 795 Anno Domino

Crannog – artificially created island, surrounded by a wooden fence, to keep away the enemies.

Inside Crannog – the houses still had roofs made of reed. Crannogs were still used 400 years ago.
