The exhibition examines the archaeology of the ancient forts of County Cork. It begins with the great Hillforts of the Bronze Age, dated 1400-800BC. The ringforts of the early medieval period (400-1200AD) are then presented, followed by coastal promontory forts that extend into later medieval times. The information in this exhibition demonstrates how ancient forts are an important and vulnerable part of our shared cultural heritage. At a time of intense development of the Irish landscape. These sites re best protected by informing landowners and the public on their historic significance
The exhibition is a collaboration with Cork Public Museum and University College Cork, Masters in Museum Studies programme 2018-2019.
