Team up with expert archaeologists excavating a buried 13th century Dominican friary in Trim, County Meath, Ireland.We will take you into the discovery zone where you will have buckets of fun whilst learning the skills of an archaeologist. This wonderful site is a rich store of archaeology and history. The excavation is unearthing lost buildings and artefacts buried for over 700 years.
