Description:
The Rock of Dunamase is one of the most striking heritage sites in Ireland. It has a complex history including Viking raids and Norman conquest. The site itself dominates the surrounding landscape, which has contributed its significance in the past and up to the present day. The objective of this project is to enhance the visitor experience of the Rock of Dunamase site; bringing the story, landscape, culture and history to life in an informative and entertaining way. To date, visitor interpretation at the Rock of Dunamase has been kept to a minimum with a small number of information panels. This project to enhance the visitor interpretation experience is part of a larger 'Rock of Dunamase Carpark and Interpretation Project', which is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the EU Just Transition Fund. The new carpark being developed by Laois County Council in combination with the laneway leading up to the entrance of the main Rock of Dunamase site will provide the areas for any proposed visitor interpretation assets. This project should be delivered in two phases: PHASE 1. Design: To provide detailed proposals for an enhanced visitor interpretation experience at the Rock of Dunamase. PHASE 2. Implementation: To complete installation of physical assets from the design proposal.
