Produced by Chris Curnow and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Lake Dwellings of Ireland" by W. G. Wood-Martin is an archaeological study written in the late 19th century. This work delves into Ireland's ancient lake-dwellings, or "crannogs," examining their construction, the society that inhabited them, and their artifacts. Through careful comparison to similar structures in Switzerland and Scotland, Wood-Martin seeks to highlight the significance of these dwellings while stimulating interest in Ireland's archaeological heritage. The opening of the book provides an insightful preface that sets the stage for an exploration of ancient Irish life through the lens of archaeology. Wood-Martin introduces the concept of crannogs, describing them as artificial islands built for security and refuge. He discusses the historical context, referencing previous works that have brought attention to these structures and their societal implications. Additionally, Wood-Martin expresses a desire to engage both scholars and the general public in the study of Ireland's past, clearly aiming to bridge the gap between academic research and broader interest in the country's rich archaeological history.
