Baltinglass and the Prehistoric Hillforts of Ireland
The Baltinglass area of south-west Wicklow has the largest concentration of prehistoric hillforts in Ireland. As many as thirteen enclosures of varying design are prominently sited on hills overlooking the modern town. These include some of the most impressive Irish hillforts, the construction of which required coordinated planning and a massive investment of resources. This unique landscape has been the focus of a recent study undertaken by University College Cork. The project combined remote sensing and GIS analysis with conventional archaeological survey and excavation to examine the hillforts in their cultural landscape setting. A palaeoecological study was undertaken at a small bog near Baltinglass to examine the record of human interaction with the local environment over time. For wider context, the Baltinglass sites were also considered in relation to hillfort landscapes in other parts of Ireland and abroad.

An Obstacle Confusion: The Wonderful World of Barney McKenna
Barney McKenna, ‘Banjo Barney from Donnycarney’, was one of the founder members of the Dubliners. But he was also famous for another reason: he was capable of bringing any conversation to a sudden stop by uttering something so completely unexpected as to reduce everyone present to bemused silence.
