I’ve read there are something in the region of 10,000 such sites in Ireland. Most, I imagine, have lain undisturbed for centuries. What lies waiting to be discovered?
Really looking forward to our upcoming webinar with Dr Karen Dempsey on the remarkable Lady Roesia de Verdun, and her mighty fortress of Castleroche that once guarded the Ulster border.

4) This bone rocked the timelines of Irish #Prehistory.

We know little about the dogs of #VikingDublin.
On our latest episode @Ruthfcarden tells how a picture of a #Viking era dog jaw bone triggered a grass roots project to learn more about these dogs from over a 1,000 years ago. The picture is not always pretty but there is much to be learned here
