The Irish National Heritage Center is located just outside Wexford. If you want a good history lesson on the Ireland, especially ancient to medieval times, this is for you. Set on numerous acres, you may walk through with a self guided tour or go with the tour guide. Plan on a couple of hours for the tour, but it is worth it! I would also take advantage of the tour guide. We had an archeology Master’s student … He did a great job!
While all of the areas are replicas, it does provide a small glimpse into how people lived during different eras. There are about 12-15 different ‘sites’ … Here are just a few below.
Dolmen or Portal Tomb
Stone Circle
Ogham Stone
Ring Fort
Part of Ring Fort
Early Christianity – A church at a monastery
Grinding grain at the mill house
Fulacht Fiadh (earth oven)
Viking village … surrounded by a wall and ditch
