The Beara Peninsula in counties Cork and Kerry is one of the
richest archaeological landscapes in Ireland. Hundreds of
prehistoric monuments have been recorded in that area, dating from
the Bronze Age to medieval times. The hill valleys of the peninsula
also contain an important landscape record of early farm
settlement, where entire field patterns are preserved under the
growth of blanket peat. This book is the first detailed study to be
published on pre-bog fields and early farming in Ireland. It
contains the results of new archaeological research for anyone
interested in prehistoric and early medieval Ireland, and in the
story of Irish farming and its impact on the environment over the
past 4000 years. This is a story similar to that of the Ceide
Fields in Mayo.
