Discover this innovative project in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 33

In this episode, Neil travels to one of Ireland’s most significant archaeological landscapes, Rathcroghan, to discover an important and innovative project that is helping farmers to protect the archaeology on their land.

In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil had the opportunity to visit the great royal site of Rathcroghan in County Roscommon to chat with Dr Daniel Curley who tells us all about his experience managing Rathcroghan Visitor Centre and how they engage people with the complex story of Rathcroghan’s archaeological and mythological landscapes. We also discuss the important Farming Rathcroghan EIP project with Dr Petra Kock Appelgren. The project seeks to manage the Rathcroghan farming landscape in a sustainable way with a focus on the delivery of good archaeological condition. While local farmer and project participant Gerard Healy tells us of his experiences and how the project has been transformative for him.

The project is recorded in the shadow of the great mound at Rathcroghan, so there may be a little ambient noise from time to time. It’s not the wind, just the ghost of Queen Medb trying to get in for a chat. I hope you enjoy the episode!
