26. THE HEATH OF MARYBOROUGH

One of the most important archaeological sites in Ireland, located in County Laois. Iron Age burial mounds known as ring barrows are to be found over the area, in addition to Neolithic, early Christian and mediaeval remains. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the open common of the Heath was used for horse races, military manoeuvres and political meetings. Today, the Heath is an important area for wildlife, biodiversity and recreation.
