Reports on the Ardfert Cathedral Excavations will provide a comprehensive account of the excavations and their significance and are expected to be of interest to those with a special interest in the subject and to the general public. Work on the final report is at an advanced stage but detailed analysis of a large number of skeletal remains found in the course of the excavations has yet to be completed. It is anticipated that the final report will be submitted for archaeological peer review later this year with a view to publication in 2008. Pending the publication of the final report, an interim report on the excavations has been prepared for publication by my Department. The interim report is at final proofing stage with a view to going into print by end April 2007.
