Between 4000 BC and 2400 BC: During the Neolithic Age, agriculture, livestock industry, permanent residence, ceramics, polished stone tools were characteristic. These developments began to reach northwestern Europe from east around 6000 BC. Although there are a few Irish "New Stone Age Package" is the initial evidence that can be used to test all aspects of the (breeding cattle), to up to 4,000 BC, the whole island is affected, increased population I will start. The introduction of the Neolithic Age may require local people and newcomers, and it certainly shows a connection with the UK and North France. The most striking aspect of the Irish neolithic age was the emergence of megalithic tombs. And it has close similarities in France, Wales and Scotland. There are over 1,200 such monuments in Ireland and can be divided into five types: coat tombs, aisle graves, portal graves and wedge graves.

Between 4000 BC and 2000 B clear evidence of the grave that was found during the Neolithic era in the megalithic era was shown. These tombs are simply caves and holes that have been excavated and preserved to protect the dead relatives of their deceased relatives. These tombs were excavated mainly due to the placement of the dead These bodies were mainly debris of cremation. "The grave thing" is attached to the main body. The tomb is divided into four categories: a court tomb, a passage tomb, an entrance tomb, and a wedge tomb. The grave of the aisle is carved from a very spectacular stone and looks very much in Ireland. An example of a tomb of a waterway is the massacre of cod. These burial evidence suggest that people present in this era possess some form of knowledge and may appreciate the protection of human bodies (Barry, 2001).
