Archaeologists Uncover The Secrets Of A Lost Medieval Irish Settlement

From Chronicle - Medieval History


Archaeologists have uncovered the lost secrets of a fabled 13th-century Gaelic Market Town near Lough Key, Western Ireland. Long believed to be folklore, this site reveals a powerful native Irish society, led by the McDermot Lords, that fiercely maintained its traditions and engaged in extensive international trade, free from Anglo-Norman control. From finding a massive grain-drying kiln to an ancient coin and evidence of bronze working, join us on the excavation that is rewriting the economic history of Medieval Ireland.
