Monumental Beginnings: the archaeology of the N4 Sligo Inner Relief Road

Written by Ed Danaher and published by the National Roads Authority in December 2007, Monumental Beginings is the first publication in the new NRA scheme-specific monograph series. This publication details the results of discovery and archaeological excavation along the route of the N4 Sligo Inner Relief Road. Investigations in 2003 by Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd and initial testing and excavation by Mary Henry Archaeological Services Ltd in 2001 resulted in the discovery of a number of significant prehistoric sites, including that of a causewayed enclosure dating to the Early Neolithic period, around 4000 BC. These discoveries add to the archaeological heritage of a region already well-known for its upstanding monuments. An accompanying CD-ROM to the publication incorporates final excavation and specialist reports.
