Irish National Heritage Park
The Irish National Heritage Park in Ferrycarrig ( Caladh na Carraige in Irish ), northwest of Wexford on the B730 (road) in County Wexford in Ireland , gives a glimpse into Ireland's past. The reconstructed wooden structures in chronological order convey a picture of Irish history.
Buildings of the Irish, Vikings and Normans from prehistoric times to the high Middle Ages have been reconstructed . Construction methods and materials are as authentic as possible. The fact that the park is bisected by the Wexford – Dublin railway line occasionally leads to anachronistic photo opportunities. Among other things, you can see:
- a Bronze Age Crannóg , a building on an artificial island,
- a council or ring fort,
- a horizontal wheel watermill ,
- a monastic settlement with a painted high cross ,
- a Viking shipyard and a lakeside farm.
- a clochán
