Antiquities
The prehistoric antiquities of the province are numerous and important, including the great cham- bered tumuli of the Boyne Valley, and the Hill of Tara. The remains of cathedrals, churches, castles, and the ruins of early monastic settlements like that at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, would demand a volume to themselves if they were adequately to be described. All that it is possible to do in the space at our disposal, is briefly to call attention to the principal monuments.
