Amharc ar fhreagraAn illustrated summary of the Ardfert Cathedral project of interest to the general reader is planned for publication this autumn. The excavations at Ardfert Cathedral took place from 1989 to 1995 and it is intended that the detailed excavation report, incorporating the human remains analysis — more than 2,000 burials were discovered — will be finalised and ready for peer review by the end of this year. Subsequent text editing, design and publication will take place in 2006.
