Craggaunowen - The Living Past Open Air Museum

The Museum gives a number of archaeological examples of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age sites in an attractive park setting. It is open from April to September. It is located next to the sixteenth century Craggaunowen Castle to the southeast of Quin (Irish: Cuinche) in County Clare (Irish: Contae an Chláir) and off the R462 north from Ballymulcashel. Craggaunowen Castle and Crannog are part of Shannon Heritage. They describe the experience of visiting the site as:

"Ireland’s original award winning Pre-historic Park. Come and explore the roots of the people, homesteads, animals and artifacts of our Celtic ancestors of over 1,000 years ago which have touched and shaped how we live today."
