The Crossbarry Ambush is the latest in our #LandscapesofRevolution Archaeological Mapping Project by Damian Shiels and Tara on behalf of Cork County Council.
Fascinating work by Damian Shiels and Tara on the 1920 Mallow Barracks Raid as part of the #LandscapesOfRevolution Project.
This project seeks to engage with local communities to help to identify and map sites from the War of Independence.
Really exciting work by Damian Shiels and Tara Clarke as part of the #LandscapesOfRevolution Project, mapping the physical evidence of the War of Independence.
Looking forward to the launch of the IrishResearchCouncil project we are working on with UCD Archaeology - Archaeology of the Irish Revolution. The event starts at 7 pm at the Deebert House Hotel and all are welcome to attend!

Great to see the Tipperary Old IRA Map Project featured in today's Independent.ie.
This project is part of the #LandscapesofRevolution Archaeology Project with Tipperary County Council & Tipperary Studies to examine and research this intriguing map.

A final #LandscapesofRevolution post. Field boundaries are among the least appreciated elements of our archaeological landscapes, but were fundamentally important during the revolution. At Crossbarry, this one was used by Tom Kelleher's IRA section to fend off a British attack.
More fantastic work on the #LandscapesOfRevolution by Damian Shiels and Tara! This one maps the 1920 attack on Cloyne RIC Barracks in County Cork.
New Map Release! Our second Landscapes of Revolution release of 2022 is a map of the May 1920 attack on Cloyne RIC Barracks. Undertaken for @CorkCoCo, this map demonstrates just how broad these conflict landscapes can be. You can check out the map here: landscapesofrevolution.com/2022/01/06/new…
Out with Tara and Niall Murray exploring some iconic Cork #LandscapesofRevolution today...
The view from the main ambush positions occupied by Anti-Treaty forces at Béal na Bláth on 22 August 1922. Michael Collins and his National Army convoy drove down the road towards this position that evening. #LandscapesofRevolution
You won't find too many more important laneways in a War of Independence archaeological landscape than this one at Crossbarry. Holding it open to facilitate the withdrawal of the IRA dictated the positioning of the flanking sections, both of whom became engaged. Abarta Heritage
Though in poor condition, the house appears to retain many original features and clearly continues to attract ongoint attention as a site of memory. 2/2 #LandscapesofRevolution

Have a read of this by Damian Shiels on the surviving archaeology of the Battle for Cork, 100 years ago next month.
Was delighted to accompany Damian and others on part of this #LandscapesOfRevolution project.
If this was a century ago, ya might see the amphibian landings, or preparations for them, made by Michael Colllins's National Army; or smoke from buildings destroyed in urban fighting and by evacuating Anti-Treaty IRA forces during the #IrishCivilWar . #LandscapesOfRevolution
Would love to see something like this done properly for Liam Lynch in Goatenbridge….. #landscapesofrevolution Tipperary COCO
