Archaeology
We are so lucky to live in Historic Co. Meath. The Boyne Valley has a rich history dating back thousands of years. From Neolithic burial chambers to huge Norman castles, Meath has been home to many people over millenia,
Archealogical digs are common in our county. From Bective Abbey to Trim Castle, from Newgrange to right across the road right here in Dunshaughlin! Remember all those people carefully digging in Sept 2018 at the Dún Ríoga housing estate? That was an Archaeological dig! |
