Burial mounds, megalithic tombs, enigmatic earthworks, ring forts, ancient churches, medieval castles, and shipwrecks - these are just some of the vast array of archaeological monuments in the Irish landscape. This course teaches you how to recognize and date these various sites and monuments, how to access and use various online resources that contain detailed map-based information about all known Irish archaeological sites, and finally, how archaeologists progress from this abundance of 'raw' data to interpreting and presenting archaeological monuments and landscapes to the public.
