Knowth Passage Tomb Complex
Set in the famous bend of the River Boyne, not far from the other great tombs at Newgrange and Dowth, Knowth is undoubtedly one of Ireland’s most significant archaeological monuments.
A Neolithic passage tomb complex, home to perhaps the greatest concentration of megalithic art in Europe. It has been a place of significance for millennia.
Discover more about the complex story of this monument at our next Tuatha Talk with archaeologist Dr Kerri Cleary on Wednesday the 20th of November.
This very special lecture will be the first in our series to be held both in-person and online, thanks to The Royal Irish Academy who will be hosting this event in the beautiful surroundings of their Dawson Street Academy House.

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig daoibh!
In honour of St Patrick’s Day, we thought we’d bring you a little mindful moment as we follow the flow of the water at St. Patrick’s Holy Well, just outside our hometown Clonmel in County Tipperary.
The water emerges from springs at the head of the well, before surging down the twin flumes to the calm waters of the pond below. The water flows around the base of an early medieval cross, before passing down the outflow where they form a tributary stream that joins with the mighty River Suir and onwards to the sea.

2023 has been quite an adventure!
We want to thank everyone, especially all our wonderful members and all who follow us for all of your support throughout the year.
We already have some exciting plans for 2024 — our first Tuatha Talk in January will be with Dr Rebecca Boyd on Everyday Life in Ireland's Viking Age Towns, and our first exclusive member tour will be of medieval Trim with Dr Michael Potterton later in the month. Other tours include the prehistory of the Boyne Valley with Professor Muiris O'Sullivan, and we're hopeful of a tour of the Saltee Islands when the puffins are home. And of course we'll have lots more articles and itineraries to come!
Thanks again for making the year so special, and we're looking forward to more adventures with you!
Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2024.
