Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy Vol 55 Section C #3 Hodges Figgis : Dublin 1952 Softcover, sl wear Octavo pp 61 - 81 7 plates, some folding. Some illus "Ó Ríordáin was noted for his fieldwork, especially for his eighteen years of excavations carried out at the multi-period site of Lough Gur, Co. Limerick, which elucidated much of its complex history, and formed the basis for still-continuing study. He also analysed Ireland's Roman archaeology, contributed considerably to knowledge of Ireland's early medieval history, and initiated important work on the passage graves at Newgrange; his co-author, the Cambridge archaeologist Glyn E. Daniel, published their study of these sites in 1964, after Ó Ríordáin's death. Ó Ríordáin began digging at Tara in Co. Meath in 1955; his preliminary work on this hugely significant site was the first modern investigation, and (though it remained unpublished for many years) is recognised by contemporary archaeologists as being of lasting relevance. Major discoveries, including an undisturbed passage grave on the site, were announced at the time in newspapers." Dictionary of Irish Biography
