Ireland's Archaeology from the Air

In recent years there have been many exciting and surprising identifications of previously unknown sites and landscapes.

This book offers a fascinating look at aerial photography as a fast and efficient method of discovering the hidden landscape of Ireland.

Some sites lie hidden beneath the soil, manifesting themselves only at certain times of the year, while others survive as low-relief sites visible only when oblique sunlight enhances their appearance for the aerial cameras.

Almost every type of settlement and defensive and religious site of prehistoric and medieval communities is seen from the air in this wonderful and revealing book.
