The team at DVF are delighted to have had the opportunity to be a part of the prestigious Portalis exhibition displays at the Waterford Museum of Treasures and the captivating Ceredigion Museum in Aberystwyth, Wales.
This incredible experience would not have been possible without the collaboration with SETU, who graciously entrusted us with the task of bringing two amazing exhibits to life.
Join us as we delve into the enthralling history of Creadan Head, a place that holds immense historical significance for the Port of Waterford, and discover the treasures that lie within.
Uncovering the Ancient Marvels
Nestled on the western side of Waterford harbour, 1.5 miles NW of Dunmore East, lies the captivating Creadan Head. This natural wonder, formed from volcanic Old Red Sandstone, commonly known as puddingstone, stands proudly as the easternmost tip of County Waterford and the province of Munster.
Creadan Head, with its picturesque cliffs and mesmerising steps leading to a natural cave, has always been a sight to behold. Its allure has captured the imagination of countless visitors, who couldn’t help but wonder about the secrets hidden within its rocky embrace.
Thanks to the unwavering dedication of local archaeologists, the mysteries of Creadan Head have begun to unravel, revealing its crucial role during the Mesolithic period. These passionate individuals have collected artefacts and relics that have shed light on the ancient era, offering invaluable insights.
The Portalis exhibitions at the Waterford Museum of Treasures and Ceredigion Museum showcase these remarkable findings. You can now marvel at the intricate stone tools, delicately crafted pottery fragments, and witness a vivid depiction of the lives led by those who once inhabited Creadan Head.
