Our earliest proven ancestors in Ireland arrived after the end of the last ice age and were present in Waterford some 9,000 years ago. These people were Mesolithic in culture, did not practice agriculture, but lived on hunting, gathering and fishing. Their lifestyle was largely nomadic to exploit the varied resources necessary for survival, however favoured campsites were used over long periods. Fishing campsites were popular along the coast and in the lower reaches of the Suir and Blackwater valleys. These flint using hunters left no spectacular landscape evidence for their long journey in our area but the flint arrowheads lost on their, hunting expeditions litter our fields.

It was the arrival of various farming peoples some 5,700 years ago that left a more visible imprint on the countryside. These early farming people built impressive burial monuments and in general more sedentary than their wandering predecessors. The neolithic farmers moved inland clearing the lightly wooded hillsides where shallow soils prevented the full maturation of canopy oak forest. Several distinctive types of megalithic tomb are recognised by archaeologists, each is represented in County Waterford. In the county there are sixteen such megalithic tombs, ten portal
tombs or dolmens, five passage tombs and one court tomb. Most are in the rocky hill country to the south west of the city and several are marked on the Ordnance Survey maps, many are stone
structures and are a striking and evocative feature of our six millennia.
Some 4,500 years ago the first metal using peoples settled in this part of Ireland. They had the knowledge to make bronze
(an alloy of copper and tin), they also built megalithic tombs to commemorate their dead. These were stone box like structures tapering to one end known as wedge tombs. Other fashions in burial
also arrived with the Bronze age, cist burials in stone lined pits, tumulus burials and barrows. These people also made distinctive pottery. Some 500 years before Christians, iron working was introduced into Waterford by people traditionally considered to be Celts. This warrior aristocracy built strongly defended settlements in the hills and on promontories overlooking the sea. Waterford contains two hill forts and over twenty promontory forts. Much more common however are the lightly defended iron age farmsteads which occur throughout the county. They are known locally as raths, fairy forts and are clearly signposted.
The Celts introduced the Gaelic language and it still survives today as a vernacular in the area just west of Dungarvan. It is less than a century since Gaelic was the dominant tongue throughout the county. Almost all our placenames are derived from Gaelic
