This place is nothing short of amazing. Wonderful friendly staff and insightful, learned guides. You are met by your guide at the lovely visitors centre and brought out to meet costumed Celts who tell you about life as it was for them 2000 years ago. One guide/actor talks about rotary querns and grinding flour, another about barter and money and their rivalry with the Romans as well as other clans! Then another tells you about hunting, weaponry and diet. We really found the explanation of tracking and hunting prey quite mesmerising. Superbly done and so interesting. Then an archaeologist talks you through the finds at Emain Macha, what the fort was used for and some of the pottery, jewellery and La Tene artwork associated with these Celts. They have fires set up with spits and hides and a recreation of a Celtic house. After these talks the guide walks you to the fort and tells you all about it and its significance. Wonderful tour, nearly two hours in total. One of the best days out I've had in ages. A truly wonderful place.
