A compilation assembled to shed light on Ireland's agricultural and
rural past. It does not pretend to be systematically comprehensive, but
we anticipate it will prove to be interesting and eye-opening. The
articles assemble reasonably up-to-date information about the various
archaeological traces, supported by images, a summary of diagnostic
features, and a list of publications where additional information may be
sourced. Color photos. "Antiquities of Rural Ireland is an impressively
informative and thoroughly 'reader friendly' study that is unreservedly
recommended for both community and academic library Irish History
collections and supplemental studies reading lists."--MWBR
