Irish National Heritage Park

It has 16 reconstructed dwellings, including a Mesolithic camp, a Neolithic farmstead, a portal dolmen, a cyst grave, a stone circle, a medieval ringfort, a monastic site, crannóg, and a Viking harbour.

It is a nonprofit organisation and all of its receipts from admissions, restaurant, and shop sales go directly back into the maintenance of the park.

[1][2][3]The park runs a selection of courses throughout the year ranging from blacksmithing and wood carving, to stone masonry and mounted combat.

The newest addition to the park is an archaeological excavation at the site of the first Norman fortification in Ireland, on the hill of Carrig, overlooking the river Slaney.

The park partnered with the IAFS (Irish Archaeology Field School) to excavate and research the site.
