'Ring around the Ring Barrow' this evening

A reminder about the innovative way of creating awareness of the archaeologically important Ring Barrow at Old Kilcullen, by the forming of a human chain around the ancient burial site this evening, writes Brian Byrne.

The event will include a talk by Gerry O’Donoghue on the ring barrow, as part of the Kilcullen 700 celebration year.

The ‘Ring around the Ring Barrow’ idea is being led by Pat Griffin, a member of the Old Kilcullen Area Community Association with a deep interest in local heritage, and Gerry O’Donoghue who has a long-standing passion for Old Kilcullen and its history

The formation of the ‘ring’ will start at 7.30pm, and the organisers hope there will be enough people there to outline the shape and extent of the site and also represent the community’s determination to respect and preserve it.

Everybody with an interest in the area and its heritage is welcome and those attending are advised to wear footwear suitable for rough ground.
