‘Cave excavations at Poulbaun: insights into life during the Bronze Age and medieval period’ with Dr Marion Dowd
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. Rescheduled date to be published soon.
In 2021, a small cave was discovered at Poulbaun in the Burren uplands. Archaeological material was visible in the sediments which led to an archaeological excavation in 2022 on behalf of the National Monuments Service. Despite the small size of the cave, it had been used by various farming communities in the Burren over 4,000 years, from the Late Neolithic through the Bronze Age and into the High Medieval period. Marion Dowd is an archaeologist and an author. Her book, The Archaeology of Caves in Ireland won Book of the Year at the 2016 Archaeology Awards. She works as a Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology at the School of Science, I.T. Sligo.
All welcome, suggested donation of 5 euros for the upkeep of the hall. Kettle will be on from 7:30pm and talk will start at 8pm at Tubber hall.
