Description

An ITV schools programme.

Using the methods of reenactment, time markers and maps, and by visiting current day locations, presenter Oliver McGilloway tells the story of Ireland's Metal Age history. Continuing from the previous episode, which focused on the Ice Age, we journey to Upper Lough Erne to learn what life was like for the first people to settle in Ireland.

McGilloway guides us through the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of the first people to live on the then densely forested island of Irleland. We learn what animals they hunted and ate, how they made stone tools and animal skin clothing, and why they never stayed too long in the one place.
