This talk explores the nature of early medieval settlement and society in Ireland from a mainly archaeological perspective, with reference to excavations that have been undertaken in the Larne area and historical records relating to the early medieval kingdom of Latharna.
This is Ireland’s first historically documented period, and it saw the arrival of Christianity and literacy, great artistic achievements such as the Book of Kells, the development of monastic centres, the arrival of the Vikings, and the beginnings of urban settlement.
