Description

Archaeologists in Maree, County Galway, have uncovered two 6,000-year-old Neolithic tombs — a rare find in Ireland, as it’s the only site with both a court tomb and a portal tomb together. The discovery, led by University of Galway researchers and local volunteers, reveals intricate burial practices, ceremonial use of the sites, and even a unique amethyst pendant. The court tomb, one of Ireland’s most southern examples, sits beside a massive portal tomb with a 14-ton capstone. Artifacts like stone tools, pottery, and cremated remains point to complex social structures and trade networks reaching as far as Rome. This find deepens our understanding of Neolithic life and belief systems — proving ancient communities were far more organized and spiritually rich than we once thought.

Galway’s New Cycle Path on Monivea Road | Galway News

Galway City Council is set to transform Monivea Road with a major upgrade: a new, dedicated 3-meter-wide cycle path alongside the road, narrowing lanes to create safer space for cyclists and pedestrians. The project includes redesigned junctions with raised crossings and new traffic signals for walkers and riders, plus landscaping to enhance the area. Plans are on display now at City Hall and online — review them by August 21st and submit feedback by September 4th to help shape this vital step toward safer, more accessible cycling and walking in Galway.
