This
paper explains that, in Ireland, the cultural
landscape shows the works of humans over long periods from the Stone Age
on, continually changing as technological advances occur. The author points out that, today, the countryside is much different than many years past, especially with the movement of the
city dwellers further and further into the surrounding rural areas. The paper relates that the city
landscape offers a window into the modern human's culture, for good or bad, providing a huge database of information relating to the people the Irish were, are, and will be.
