Northern Ireland's Hidden Heritage

UTV’s Hidden Heritage series is back on Monday 30 March for the first of 4 episodes exploring the lesser known heritage delights of Northern Ireland. 

Once again the series will unveil a wealth of treasures and untold secrets. The new series documenting Brian Black's search into the secrets of Northern Ireland's past is set amid the hills, valleys, moorland and towns of Mid-Ulster. 

Holiday makers hankering after hidden heritage will be able to satisfy their curiosity in Northern Ireland. Our culture and history can be traced back to the first people who settled here 9000 years ago!  The first known dwelling on this island was found at Mountsandel near Coleraine (7000BC), and Fermanagh and Tyrone are especially rich in Stone Age archaeology.  Can you solve the mystery of the seven Beaghmore Bronze Age circles? Or the curious idols on Boa and White Islands in Lough Erne?
