For the last couple of days I have been digging on a new site - an Anglo-Norman village near Athy. It is probably late 13th century village. It is possible that the village was destroyed during the Scottish king - Robert De Bruce’s invasion of Ireland. Among the pieces of bones and pottery, there is one extraordinary find - a penny coin of Edward 1st (Longshanks), who ruled England between 1272-1307

Kopanie w Irlandii jest ponoc niedozwolone- fakt ktory mnie nieco zmartwil. Jak to jest w koncu?
Kuczman, co za bzdury piszesz:)
W całej Irlandii są prowadzone badania archeologiczne jak w każdym normalnym kraju.
Usłyszałeś pewnie kontem ucha że przerwano prace nad budową autostrady M3 koło Tary, bo odkryto tam tak cenne zabytki, że zdecydowano się na ich zachowanie. Autostradę przesunięto.
Very interesting. Thank you for keeping this blog going. It’s very interesting for Irish people to read about our country from the Polish perspective. More blogging on your work as an archiologist would be interesting too.
