Evin Cairn is your pocket field guide to Ireland's ancient past. From windswept ringforts in Kerry to passage tombs on the Boyne, the island holds over 150,000 recorded archaeological sites — and most of them are hidden in plain sight, just off the road. Evin Cairn helps you find them. EXPLORE THE LANDSCAPE A fast, beautiful satellite map shows every recorded monument near you, colour-coded by period — from the Stone Age right through to the Post-Medieval era. Pan, zoom, and tap any pin to learn what it is, when it was built, and what makes it special. SEARCH ALL OF IRELAND Looking for somewhere specific? Search by site name or townland — "Newgrange", "Skellig", "Knocknarea", "Drombeg" — and jump straight to it. Or pick a county and let the map open right where you want to be. WHAT AM I LOOKING AT? Out for a walk and spotted a strange mound in a field? Open the "What Am I Looking At?" tool and we'll use your location to suggest what that earthwork, ruin or stone formation might be — based on real records from the Sites and Monuments Record. FILTER BY PERIOD Only interested in megalithic tombs? Or medieval castles? Or the early monasteries? Filter the map by archaeological period and focus on the era that fascinates you. SAVE FOR LATER Found a site you want to visit? Save it. Your saved list works offline so you can plan a road trip and head off the grid without losing your shortlist. STORIES Read short, accessible stories that bring sites to life — the legend of Newgrange's winter sunrise, why ringforts dot every Irish hillside, what a fulacht fia actually was. New stories added regularly. RESPECTFUL ACCESS Every site shows its access status — whether it's a public monument managed by the OPW, a privately-owned record, or a protected site. Always check landowner permission before crossing fields, and follow Leave No Trace. DATA YOU CAN TRUST Site data comes directly from the National Monuments Service of Ireland's Archaeological Survey (CC BY 4.0) — the same dataset used by archaeologists, planners and the OPW.
