Irish National Heritage Park, Open-air museum in Wexford, Ireland

The Irish National Heritage Park is an open-air museum in Ferrycarrig, northwest of Wexford on the B730, covering about 14 hectares of former marshland beside the River Slaney. Its 16 reconstructions, built with authentic methods and materials through experimental archaeology, include a Mesolithic camp, a Neolithic farmstead, a portal dolmen, a cist grave, a stone circle, a ringfort, a monastic site with a painted high cross, a clochán, a crannóg and a Viking harbour. A round tower built in 1857 as a Crimean War memorial stands on the grounds.

The park was founded in 1987 and focuses on human settlements from the Mesolithic period through the Norman invasion of 1169. The reconstructions document this long span of time with characteristic houses and structures from each era.

Costumed guides lead tours that end at the reconstructed Viking harbour, and the park runs courses in blacksmithing, wood carving, stone masonry and mounted combat to keep traditional skills in public use. The Trials of Tuan are children's activities spread through the grounds, finishing with a search for gold.

The park sits roughly two hours from Dublin and offers visitors guided walks to explore the reconstructions. There is also a falconry center, café, and shop on-site, along with ample parking.

The park's round tower, visible from afar, was built in 1857 to commemorate Wexford residents who died in the Crimean War. Its stones came from the remains of the Norman castle erected on the site in the 12th century. Across the B730 stands the ruined Ferrycarrig Tower House.
