Make an authentic Dunmore Cave Viking belt with me this weekend at Slieve Aughty Centre as part of Weekend in the Hills

Delighted to see new audio points at Mountain Grove Wood, Kilkenny. The points provide info on biodiversity, history, folklore & more, to aid accessibility

We created the audio content for fourteen trails on behalf of Trail Kilkenny with the support of Kilkenny Leader.

Absolutely love the fact that #Dunmore is a massive batcave and functions as a bat maternity unit for the South East, because its temperature stays the same 12/12 & bats otherwise would jettison their young in the Hibernian chill of winter. Strange magic, to stand in its darkness

Tuatha Mount Congreve You wanted bluebells?

This is a wonderful time of year for a walk in an Irish wood. The air is full of the scent of wild garlic, and the bluebells are magical!

We visited a lovely local spot at Mountain Grove in County Kilkenny this morning.

Do you have a favourite place for bluebells?

Just going through photographs from Tuesdays fieldwork in Kildare. The light was so perfect, it really showed off the carvings on the c1,000 year old high crosses.

Like this lovely little donkey at Old Kilcullen – LOOK AT HIS GIANT EARS! More than half the size of the humans! 🫏

Listen to a classic episode of the #AmplifyArchaeology this Friday!

Recorded in 2022, Neil Jackman was joined by Dr Michael Potterton, who discussed the truly monumental Moynagh Lough project, and the immense contribution of John Bradley to Irish archaeology.

To mark the 1010th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf & death of Brian Boru, Ireland's supposed 1st national hero, our new ep w/Denis Casey explores whether it really was an epic war of the Irish against the viking invaders or an inter provincial clash. open.spotify.com/episode/3KWwYE…
