M9 archaeology talk next week

Archaeologist Noel Dunne of Transport Infrastructure Ireland will deliver an illustrated presentation next Tuesday of the results of archaeological investigations in advance of the M9 Motorway and M9 Motorway Service Area.

The presentation in St Joseph’s NS Halverstown will deal specifically with the work in the vicinity of Old Kilcullen and Halverstown.

Previously unknown archaeological sites discovered and excavated included six prehistoric fulachtaí fia, Early Neolithic hearths and pits, Early Bronze Age settlement and structures, an early medieval souterrain or underground chamber, early and post-medieval cereal-drying kilns and a late medieval limekiln.

This free public lecture takes place at 8pm and has been organised in association with the Old Kilcullen Area Community Association.
