Would you please help support “Voices from the Dawn?”
Voices from the Dawn has been a labor-of-love project since the first summer of fieldwork in Ireland in 1978. Now, 46 years and a dozen trips to Ireland later, we’ve completed another expedition to produce media and field research documenting the country’s ancient monuments. Would you like to help?
