AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL project dedicated to identifying and exploring the archaeological traces of the Irish War of Independence, in collaboration with local communities, is currently on display in Cappamore Library.
However, it only runs until this Friday, May 17, said Pat Campbell, PRO of Cappamore Historical Society.
It is then Knocklong's turn to host Landscapes of Revolution Archaeology Project.

They also paid tribute to the late historian Tom Toomey, who has “been a cornerstone of everything we have been able to do”.
Some of the fascinating exhibits and display boards include an annotated ordnance survey map from Bruff RIC barracks, Patrick Maher's last cigarette, John Lynch's Dail court register and Michael Gammell's truncheon.
This project is being undertaken by UCD School of Archaeology in collaboration with Abarta Heritage.
