The Home of Queen Medb
The Rathcroghan Complex spans about six sq kilometres to the west of the Medieval village of Tulsk, Co. Roscommon. There are over 200 sites of archaeological interest, 60 of them classed as National Monuments, and Medb's palace, the habitation centre for the rulers of Connacht, has to be in there somewhere. It's not visible now unfortunately, so we have to rely on the research work being carried out in co-operation with NUI Galway, and the Discovery Programme, among others, and the Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, to find out exactly where and in what manor they lived.
To share this research the team in Tulsk have organised the Rathcroghan Legacy Project, which incorporates the guided tours and talks at the centre day to day, with projects such as the Rathcroghan Conference to share and to enable local communities to do their own research (April 2015).
While history and archaeology are a major part of the work in Tulsk, important also is the rich mythology and spirituality of the sites and the various figures connected to it. Events like the Goddess Gathering (November 2015), and specialist guides providing information for group or individual interested in the spiritual nature of the complex.
A visit to Rathcroghan, the home of Queen Medb, is highly recommended - and open year round!
