Name for sculpture site

The commemorative area at Nicholastown about the Dun Ailinne heritage ancient royal site is to be called the 'Dun Ailinne Interpretive Park'.

This follows a discussion at the most recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action, which has managed the development of the site at Nicholastown.

The centerpiece sculpture by local artist Noel Scullion has recently been erected in the park.

An explanatory sign about the park, which replicates the original royal site at Dun Ailinne a few kilometres south of Kilcullen, was raised on the location last weekend.

Sponsored by the Heritage Council, the sign details both the sculpture and the Dun Ailinne story in both English and Irish.

An accompanying brochure has also been designed and is ready for production.
