Kildare is next up for the Irish Archaeology Alphabet 🏺

Kildare is a county that really specialises in early Christian heritage. Some really interesting sites here, but three that come to mind are:

1. Old Kilcullen
2. Kilteel
3. Castledermot

Do you have a favourite heritage site in Kildare?

Off to Kilkenny for this evening's Irish Archaeology Alphabet 🏺

Kilkenny does medieval heritage better than most, with the O'Tunney workshop producing some wonderful tomb effigies. Here's a few favourite sites:

1. Effigy in St Canice's Cathedral
2. Knockroe Passage Tomb
3. Kells Priory

We're in County Laois for tonight's Irish Archaeology Alphabet 🏺

Despite its relatively small size, Laois punches above its weight in terms of monuments. Here's a few favourites that come to mind:

1. The Rock of Dunamase (a 13th century castle)

2. Timahoe Round Tower

3. Killeshin Church

Fortunate enough to live near a lake with lots of wildlife. We met a very friendly robin in the last few days who was quite happy to pose for photos. #irishbirds #naturephotography #wildireland #lakecounty
