In Search of Ancient Ireland(2002)

In Search of Ancient Ireland traces Ireland's transformation across four millennia, from the Stone Age farmers of 2000 B.C. who erected some of Europe's most impressive Neolithic monuments, through the rise of Celtic culture and early Christian kingdoms, to 1167 A.D. when Norman invaders claimed the island for England's crown. The series examines the archaeological evidence, legendary histories, and cultural achievements that shaped Irish civilization during this vast span. From megalithic tombs and ring forts to monastic settlements and medieval fortifications, each episode uncovers how successive waves of settlement and conquest left their mark on the Irish landscape and people. A compelling journey through the island's most formative centuries.
