Seriously though, I've been reading A New History of Ireland http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/[...]/NewHistoryofIreland/?view=usa
It truly is a tome - but prehistory gets a measly 130 pages (out of about 8,000). The section on the Irish bronze age by M.J. O'Kelly points to the startling amount of prehistoric gold hoards uncovered in Ireland and also talks of a golden age.
There's always been gold in them thar hills. Archaeologists getting their knickers in a twist is nothing new either. I love the national museum and go there often - the works themselves giving tremendous satisfaction, whatever the source of the material.
