🪨 Céide Fields, Co. Mayo, Ireland
The Céide Fields are the oldest known field systems in the world! They are over five & a half millennia (5,500 years) years old.

A unique Neolithic baron landscape, which has changed our perception of our Irish Stone Age ancestors.

There are remains of stone field walls, houses & megalithic tombs. They are all preserved beneath a blanket of peat over several square miles of this coastal landscape.

They tell a story of the everyday lives of a farming people, their organized society, their highly developed spiritual beliefs, & their struggle against a changing environment far beyond their control.

Visit the multi-award winning Centre, which has exhibitions, audio-visual show and tearooms. Take a guided tour with the centre's professional guides & discover an amazing Irish history preserved beneath your feet!
