The Gold Box of Ballinclemesig Killury Causeway Danny Houlihan's Irish Experience Show
Danny Houlihan‘s Irish ExperienceShow Notes
In this episode Danny Houlihan highlights an aspect of our ancient culture Goldsmitting in the area of North Kerry and a taste of areas beyond the County of Kerry. On the 28 day of May 2023 I visited the old Killury Cemetery near the lovely village of Causeway County Kerry Ireland which is a mine of information and the Ring fort in the Village which is in great condition and well worth a mention and indeed a visit when you are here in Ireland on holiday or have an interest in our past. This is a fine example of a univaette fort which is under the protection of the National Monuments Act. Its only fitting that the old town land and civil parish of Killury be mentioned and the famous Ballinclemesig where buried deep within a reclaimed bog of Balinclemisig in the old parish of Killury near Causeway County Kerry in the year 1975 Sean Egan of Ballyheigue uncoverd after days tilling the land by a plough a unique artefact of the late Bronze Age The Gold Box of Ballinclemisig or the Causeway Gold Box. This episode is dedicated to the memory of my late Uncle Gerard Houlihan who sadly passed away last month.
