Weekend of celebration

A weekend of celebration on the Dun Ailinne theme kicks off this evening with a talk and public discussion on the ancient site and the investigations which have taken place on it.

The discussion in the Town Hall Theatre starts with refreshments in the Heritage Centre at 8pm this evening. It will involve Professor Bernard Wailes of the University of Pennsylvania, who directed excavations at Dun Ailinne between 1968-1974. A number of panel members will include local people who worked on the excavations.

The event is planned as an informal and audience interactive one and all are welcome to come and take part. The event is free.
