Gleninchaquin – The History of a Valley

Kate Landers

Objectives of survey:

1. Provide an accurate record of the people that have lived in the valley.
2. Connect the recently uncovered dwellings with the people that had lived there as part of the preparation for their restoration.

Both of these surveys are part of ongoing studies and we welcome any interest from institutions and individuals with expertise in these fields. Work on the restoration of the 18th century farm was completed back in 2012.
