Dr. Michael Connolly
County Archaeologist, Dr. Michael Connolly will explain the significance of what was discovered during the excavations at the Killaclohane Portal Tomb.
Kerry’s Oldest Burial Ground
The tomb, Kerry’s oldest burial ground, dates back to almost 4,000BC and holds evidence of some of the earliest agricultural activity in North-West Europe. All welcome.
The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora. When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
