The Landscapes  of Revolution Project was established by Damian Shiels and is currently  being supported  by Abarta Heritage Ltd. Its aim is to develop and share techniques for the identification, interpretation and mapping of archaeology sites associated with Ireland’s revolutionary period. The project was devised in response  to an urgent need  to identify, analyse, interpret and map the sights and landscapes  relating to the  revolutionary  decade.

Surprising  as it may seem  post-medieval  sites, locations relating to the War of Independence and Civil War  generally enjoy no  archaeology  protection, are poorly understood  as heritage landscapes, and are often significantly  rarer and more vulnerable  than much of the  medieval  and prehistoric  archaeology  that surrounds us. Members of the team  will be available at Galbally Community Centre  to talk about the project, guide attendees  through the story map website and record any stories  or objects members of the  community  might have pertaining  to the two wars.  Contact Tim Ryan  for further details on 087- 2594030.
