Discover the story of one of County Waterford's most significant recent archaeological excavations. Join Waterford County Museum and Rubicon Archaeology for a fascinating pop-up exhibition showcasing discoveries from the Cappagh excavation, including a remarkable almost 6,000-year-old Neolithic polished stone axe, prehistoric pottery, and other artefacts that reveal thousands of years of human activity in the area.
