Open Day

We had our Monea open day on Saturday past and it was a great success. We had over 150 visitors on the day and thankfully the rain stayed away.

We arranged tours of the castle and Cuttings and the finds from the dig were on display was well. We were also joined by David, Tony and John from Living History group Claiomh (http://www.claiomh.ie/) who put on a fine display of weaponry, metalworking and leather working of the period.

Many of the children (and adults) were in digging too.
