Turoe's Celtic Kingdom

category galway | environment | press release author Tuesday July 08, 2003 15:07author by Webmaster (turoeandathenry.com)author email webmaster at turoeandathenry dot com Report this post to the editors

Local people try to protect their local heritage sites, and their history.

A new book is being launched at 7.30 pm on Sunday July 13th 2003 on the present site of the world famous Turoe Stone.

The present location of the Turoe Stone is just a mile or so from where it stood during the Iron Age period - which, for Ireland, can roughly be thought of as 500 B.C. to 500 A.D.

The original location of the Turoe Stone is still referred to by some local people as the "Rath of Fir Mhor" (Fortress of The Great Men); and, there are those who believe that one of Ireland's most famous women - perhaps the MOST famous - may well have been married there: Queen Meave of Connacht.

It promises to be a very interesting evening, and it includes (among many other things) FREE entertainment and refreshments: together with an "EVERYBODY WELCOME" type of completely open invitation.

There are plans for the musical section of the entertainment to be wide-ranging: from Celtic to orchestral, and mostly the product of long-established local musicians with a reputation for outstanding talent.

The title of the new book is: "Turoe & Athenry: Ancient Capitals of Celtic Ireland", and it is the result of an enormous amount of painstaking research work carried out over a 40 year period by Fr. Tom O'Connor.

This new book, which is a slimmed-down version of Fr. O' Connor's much larger work, has been edited by Dr. Kieran Jordan.

Further information regarding the CONTENTS of the book can be found at a new web site which has been specially set up to help promote the book launch on July 13th 2003. The address of the new site is:
