The text serves as a detailed exploration of Ireland's ancient archaeological remains, covering a wide array of topics such as stone monuments, burial customs, and early Christian artifacts. It is particularly focused on the classification and significance of various archaeological structures and sites that showcase Ireland's rich history. The opening of the handbook presents a preface where the author recounts the challenges and significance of revising the work of W. F. Wakeman, a noted authority in Irish archaeology. John Cooke emphasizes the need to update and expand upon Wakeman's original material due to new archaeological research and methodologies that have emerged. He outlines the three main classifications of Irish antiquities—prehistoric, early Christian, and Anglo-Irish—and provides a brief overview of various significant sites and structures, demonstrating Ireland’s wealth of ancient remains. This introduction sets the stage for a thorough examination of Ireland's archaeological landscape, engaging readers interested in the pivotal aspects of Ireland's historical development.
