Archaeological excavations in Moneen Cave, the Burren, Co. Clare - Dowd, Marion (Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology, Atlantic Technological University (formerly IT Sligo))

In 2011, cavers exploring a little-known cave on Moneen Mountain in County Clare in the west of Ireland discovered part of a human skull, pottery and an antler implement. An archaeological excavation followed, leading to the discovery of large quantities of Bronze Age pottery, butchered animal bones and oyster shells.
