SECONDARY SCHOOLS PROGRAMME
A secondary school visit to Rathcroghan Visitor Centre provides a unique experience for secondary school students. Here we delve into the work of archaeologist, introduce Prehistoric to Late Medieval Ireland to the student through a variety of interactive and tactile media, and showcase the unique archaeological monuments that have survived for generations for us to enjoy today.
A visit to Rathcroghan Mound and the “Gate of Hell” at Oweynagat prove most popular with visiting students!
Particular focus is given to:
–Prehistoric to Late Medieval Ireland
–The work of a historian and an archaeologist, and dealing with sources
