	History of Ceide Fields, Ballycastle, County Mayo, West of Ireland
		The discovery of what is now known as Céide Fields really began back in the 1930s when a local schoolteacher, Patrick Caulfield from Belderrig, often noticed piles of stones in the bottom of the bog when cutting his turf.
		It was however to be another 40 years and only when this man's son, Seamus, became an archaeologist and began studying these stones in the bogs that it was realised what they were all about.
		The continuing research, involving the location and mapping of these hidden walls by a specially developed simple and completely non-destructive method of probing with iron rods, and excavation of habitation sites and tombs is yielding a unique picture of the way of life of our ancestors 200 generations ago.
