I joined the constant stream of public guided tours of the archaeological dig on animal nutrition firm Devenish’s research farm at Dowth Hall, Co Meath, during Heritage Week.
Workers preparing the renovation of the dilapidated 18th century house uncovered 5,500-year-old structures last year, and archaeologists have since identified a significant passage tomb related to nearby Newgrange under the site.
Devenish chair Owen Brennan, who plans to use part of the building as a family home, was there to welcome visitors, alongside former UFU president and Devenish director of agriculture John Gilliland, who has taken a hands-on role in the project.
