It includes a semi-biographical account of the industrious lifetime and valuable studies of Thomas J (Tom) Barron, native to Knockbride, Co. Cavan. The content extends discussion of his vast contribution, as documented in the National Museum of Ireland, with particular emphasis on his ground-breaking theory on the significance of the early Iron-age ‘Corleck Head’. |
