Rathgillen Farm has over 600 head of sheep and many head of cattle. Peter took us to the field of sheep, llama, and alpaca. The animals were very aware and stayed at least 20 feet away- we were very comfortable and safe. Peter's farm has an ancient mound that is over 3,000 years old. It is recognized by the Government of Ireland as a home of the original farmers of Ireland. As with Loughcrew ruins, the mount is part of a settlement of the Neolithic Era.
Our trip was enjoyable and educational. Rathgillen Farm was a wonderful home for the days we were there.
