Lough Gur in County Limerick is a horseshoe-shaped lake in an area cluttered with archaeological sites. The area was occupied from the Neolithic to the late Medieval Period. The area, often used for picnics, has a walking trail leading to an overlook area and then down along one side of the lake. Frommer’s Ireland describes it this way:
“This lakefront site will convince you that the Neolithic farmers of Ireland had an estimable sense of real estate.”
