About

The Corlea Trackway, located in County Longford, Ireland, is an ancient wooden road that dates back to the Iron Age, around 148–147 BC. This remarkable archaeological site was discovered in 1984 and is considered one of the most significant prehistoric roadways in Europe. Constructed from oak planks laid over a bog, the trackway stretches for approximately one kilometer and is believed to have been used for ceremonial purposes or to traverse the challenging terrain of the boglands.
