A 5,000-year-old murder mystery from the Burren in County Clare is the subject of an exhibition opening tonight at Clare Museum in Ennis.
The ‘Death on the Burren’ exhibition will be launched by Dr. Ann Lynch, who led the excavation of Poulnabrone in 1986 making some intriguing finds, including the suspicious death of an individual who was buried there. The free exhibition, which will run until the end of 2019, provides an opportunity for families to get their detective caps on to help solve the ancient mystery by examining the evidence from scientific analysis of a hip-bone with an arrowhead embedded in it.
Dr Ann Lynch Senior Archaeologist at National Monuments Service spoke to Pat about how important this exhibition is.
