Excavations at Tlachtga, Athboy Co. Meath 2014-2016 IAI Talk Heritage week 2023

‘Excavations at Tlachtga, Athboy Co. Meath 2014-2016’ presented by our members Dr Steve Davis and Cathy Moore as part of IAI's 2023 Heritage Week. This talk details the findings of excavations at the Hill of Ward, Co. Meath from 2014-2016, funded by the Royal Irish Academy and Meath Co. Council. It outlines the biography of the monumental complex, from Bronze Age enclosure to high-status early medieval site ('Tlachtga') through at least four stages of development. Artefactual and ecofactual evidence is discussed in an attempt to provide context for this significant place, its landscape and how it has changed through four millennia.

Do you know that there was geophics done on the kilfnane site.

Is it possible that Ireland was where this kind of thing originated in ancient history.
