In 2014 Rubicon Heritage were commissioned by Cork County Council to undertake an audit of heritage assets owned by the County Council. The audit was intended to assess a wide variety of these properties by providing an overall background/description of the selected sites and identifying the main heritage characteristics and status/functionality of each. We have compiled a series of blogs based on the information gathered during the audit to highlight a number of the selected sites and the amazing archaeology in County Cork.

 Our recent podcast on Post-excavation Analysis and Reporting will be included in the 'What archaeologists Do' playlist on YouTube which is being delivered for International Archaeology Day and California Archaeology Month 2020. This is promoted by the Archaeological Institute of America. The playlist can be found at the follogin link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy42N37XBUykGHBTTRqfZGq7HdG_1rW2C   Excitement is building at Rubicon HQ on the imminent publication of another fantastic archaeological book! In 2010 and 2011 Rubicon discovered and excavated 35 archaeological sites along the 13.5 km route of the Tralee bypass. The results of the investigations have revolutionised our understanding of human settlement in the hinterland of Tralee, from early prehistory to modern times. Our forthcoming book documents the vast wealth of archaeological remains unearthed during the project and will provide an opportunity for the wider public to delve into this fascinating story.
