Our October Lecture is:
‘Skellig Michael: Stairway to Heaven’ by John Sheehan.

This talk will explore some aspects of the extraordinary monastery of Skellig Michael, one of Ireland’s World Heritage Sites. It will focus on its dramatic siting, on its buildings and on its unique hermitage, as well as on the archaeological evidence for the life and death of its monks.

John Sheehan, formerly on the staff of UCC’s Archaeology Department, is co-editor of The Book of the Skelligs which was nominated for An Post’s Book of the Year Award in 2022 and Current Archaeology’s Project of the Year Award in 2023.

All welcome, small charge for non-members.
