They plan to dig, fire and control a charcoal production in a pit kiln excavated on an archaeology site in recent years. Brian is currently undertaking a PhD on early medieval ironworking in UCD and hopes to use the charcoal produced in this experiment in an experimental iron smelt he plans to carry out in Ferrycarrig in March.
They invite any interested persons to join them. Contact Niall Kenny at [email protected]. Further details are available on the following link http://charcoal.seandalaiocht.com.
