2500 BCE - the Boyne Culture by Kathleen Ní Bhriain About 2500 BCE, we see the arrival of a new people into Ireland. This arrival is marked by a difference in burial styles, and these folks are commonly called the Passage Grave Builders. These folks would cremate their dead, and then place them inside the "passage graves" in large numbers. Evidence, such as drawings on tombs and pottery shards, suggests that they were orginally an Atlantic peoples, and possibly emigrated to Ireland from Brittany.
