Gaulstown Dolmen, County Waterford.
The Gaulstown Dolmen is a Neolithic Portal Tomb and likely dates to some time around 3,500 BC. It is situated in a wonderfully atmospheric wooded glade at the base of a steep slope known locally as Cnoc na Cailligh (The Hill of the Hag). It really is one of the finest examples of a portal tomb in the region and well worth a trip.

Castle House
Castleroache, County Louth
The ruins of the mighty fortress of Castleroache, County Louth, Ireland. Built by Lady Rohesia de Verdun in 1236 to serve as a bastion of defence for the Anglo-Norman colony in Louth against the Gaelic tribes of Ulster. Lady Rohesia was a formidable woman, and is said to have thrown the castle's architect through one of the tower windows so he could never reveal the castles secrets.

Hidden Ireland: From the Boyne flows the story of Ireland
The World Heritage Site of Newgrange in the Brú na Boinne, on the banks of the River Boyne, Meath, Ireland. This 5,500 year old tomb pre-dates Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza by centuries, and as it is aligned with the Winter Solstice, making it the earliest structure known to have an astronomical function.

One of the panels of the South Cross at Monasterboice, County Louth. On the left you can see Eve giving Adam the fateful apple, on the right you can see a depiction of Cain killing his brother Abel with a club. This high cross is around 1,100 years old. It is also known as 'Muiredach's Cross' as it bears an inscription asking for; "a prayer for Muiredach". It seems likely that this refers to Muiredach, Abbot of Monasterboice, who died in 924 AD.
