What is recorded here

Detached muiltiple-bay multiple-storey interpretative centre, c.1997. Built on an irregular plan and constructed using a variety of materials including structural steel, reinforced concrete and the extensive use of plate glass. Built into the eastern bank of the River Boyne and designed to give the impression that it is sunken into the landscape. This is achieved by the presence of mounds of earth, almost like Neolithic cairns, on the roof of the structure. A steel built suspension bridge and winding spiral pathways link the vistor centre to the archaeological complex across the River Boyne.
