The great cliffs of Downpatrick Head are near the Stone-Age settlements at Céide Fields (pronounced “kay-jeh”) are being excavated. Under the peat has been unearthed the most extensive Stone-Age settlement in the world, with walls older than the pyramids, a vast site which once supported a community of over 10,000 people. Wander round a portion of the archaeological dig, and enjoy an audio-visual presentation and a cup of tea in the pyramid-shaped visitors’ center. (Open mid-Mar–Nov, tel: 096 43325.) The surrounding cliffs are amongst the most magnificent you will see in Ireland.
