While on Achill Island, we visited the Deserted Village.  Though the nearby tombs date to the Neolithic Period, the settlements were inhabited in Medieval times, by a booleying community (nomadic cattle grazers).

It is always awesome to stand in an ancient home and image life there.

What was more awe-inspiring was the incredible location these ancient people chose.  The mountains were beautiful!

The bay was breath-taking!

I was glad the boys could see what ancient, simple, everyday life would have been like.
