Céide Fields

Highlight • Historical Site

Located on a hilltop, the extensive archaeological site offers a glimpse into the history of the Mayo region since prehistoric times. Although the excavations themselves may not be of great interest to the layman, the reconstruction of a 5500-year-old settlement, the explanation of the gradual formation of the peat bogs, and a beautiful film about the natural wonders of the area make the visit fascinating.

Céide Fields Visitor Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Beneath the wild boglands of north Mayo lies a system of fields, dwelling areas and megalithic tombs which together make up the most extensive Stone Age monument in the world.

The stone-walled fields, extending over hundreds of hectares, are the oldest known globally, dating back almost 6,000 years. They are covered by a natural blanket bog with its own unique vegetation and wildlife.

The award-winning visitor centre is set against some of the most dramatic rock formations in Ireland. A viewing platform on the edge of the 110-metre-high cliff will help you make the most of the breathtaking scenery. Come prepared with protective clothing and sturdy footwear, though. The terrain – and the weather – can be challenging.
