This audiobook, produced by Abarta Heritage on behalf of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, tells the story of the remarkable archaeological discoveries that were made in advance of the construction of the N22 Tralee Bypass. The Tralee Bypass and the Tralee to Bealagrellagh Link Road travel across 13.5km of one of the richest cultural landscapes in the south-west of Ireland. Along the route of the new road, archaeologists [from Rubicon Heritage Services and Irish Archaeological Consultancy] discovered and excavated a total of 33 sites. The powerful, diverse and often unique insights they gathered help to inform us about life in the past in the Vale of Tralee.

Each section of our audiobook examines an aspect of life in a specific period of time, but it begins more than 6,500 years ago, with a young woman gazing across the Atlantic’s waves from atop a Kerry beach.

This audiobook was written by Damian Shiels and edited by Neil Jackman, with the support of Paul O’Keeffe and Rónán Swan of Transport Infrastructure Ireland. The story was narrated by Gerry O’Brien, and recorded at Bluebird Studios with sound engineer Declan Lonergan and producer Róisín Burke.
