This is what the future looks like!
Yesterday (Thursday) Gavin Donaghy from Irish Archaeological Research visited the site and very kindly took aerial film videos and photos of
Monea with a drone. It was a mad kind of helicopter linked to some very high
spec equipment!

The
results are fantastic! Below is one of the many amazing images Gavin took of the castle and our excavation site.

We could see the filming in real time (by use of goggles and video
screens).
This allowed us to look right down into the castle and it gives us some great
shots of the excavation cuttings in progress around the castle.

We would like to thank Gavin very much for giving up his
time to come out and do this for us. Further details and more photos can be
found at the IAR webpage (http://www.irisharchaeologicalresearch.com/)
and on IAC’s facebook page. Fintan is also posting up the odd comment and photo
from this excavation on his twitter account (https://twitter.com/WalshFintan).
More next week.
