Rathcroghan Archaeological Research is showcased in IRRP 2024
Rathcroghan features as a case-study in the University of Galway's Institutional Review of Research Performance (IRRP 2024). Reaping the rewards of living and farming at Rathcroghan, a culturally sensitive landscape in County Roscommon showcases the value of our archaeological research at the Late Prehistoric ‘royal’ site and surrounding ritual landscape of Ráth Crúachan and details the significant positive impact and societal benefits that it has brought to the region. This is one of a number of selected case-studies to show how active University of Galway research is changing the world for the better.
