The North Munster Project

Creator: The Discovery Programme

The main focus of the North Munster Research Project was, using the known archaeological record as a foundation, to achieve a detailed view of the processes and changes involved within later prehistory (The Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, c.1000BC-100BC). This landscape study draws on a wider time frame spanning the Middle Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age (c.1600BC-400AD). The national and international context of the archaeological record was another fundamental element of the research.
The online collection consists of images taken from publications of The North Munster Project:
Eoin Grogan, The North Munster Project, Volume I: The later prehistoric landscape of south-east Clare (Dublin, 2005)
