People with an interest in archaeology and history are being invited to an information evening on a community project.

Dig Tralee aims to explore the hillfort site at Knockanacuig, on the outskirts of Tralee which is possibly around 2,500 years old.

The area was once an enclosure of significant size and height, that commanded a view of the surrounding area for miles.

This project is an initiative of Kerry County Council, which will be responsible for the excavation, and Kerry County Museum, which will take charge of the community engagement.

An information evening is being held on Tuesday next week, May 31st at 7pm at Kerins O’Rahillys' clubhouse in Tralee.
