Revealing the Past 2023: Preliminary results of the excavations of 3 recorded hut sites

This presentation by Elaine Lynch, Field Monument Advisor Programme for Co. Clare, gives the preliminary results of two community excavations of three recorded hut/enclosure sites in the townland of Lismoher and Ballyganner North in the south central Burren of County Clare. The excavations were carried out over two seasons in May 2022 and May 2023. This provided an opportunity for the Burrenbeo Trust Conservation Volunteers to learn and experience the processes associated with archaeological excavation. A number of artefacts were uncovered from the sites along with human burials. The excavations were funded by the Royal Irish Academy.
