The county of Waterford, situated in the south-east of Ireland, is rich in ancient Megalithic monuments.
The sites listed here on Prehistoric Waterford are thousands of years old, going back to the Neolithic period (4500-2500 BC) and stand as testaments to our forefather's way of life, their customs and beliefs and their quest for knowledge.
From a distant age of spirits and gods, these people bestowed upon us these wonderful lasting reminders of a past society who sought to understand the eternal mysteries of life on earth and the hereafter.
The Prehistoric Waterford website welcomes participation and feedback from visitors by leaving comments or signing the Guestbook.
Have a look around and hopefully you will enjoy your journey through Waterford's distant past ..
