Description: Generations is about the lives of people in County Cork over the past 10,000 years. The generations that came and went in that time have all left some trace on the landscape, as revealed in 114 archaeological excavations on five national road projects: Glanmire-Watergrasshill (N8), Rathcormac-Fermoy (M8), Mitchelstown Relief Road (N8/N73), Ballincollig Bypass (N22) and Youghal Bypass (N25). Each excavated site represents the imprint of ancestors. Like us, they experienced the joys and hardships of life in the rolling hills of north Cork, on the fertile plains of the Lee Valley or in sight of Youghal Bay.
