Roundabout Shannon

The Shannon Archaeological and Historical Society is one of the oldest organisations within the modern town of Shannon.

It was founded in 1976 by a group of people interested in exploring the history, archaeology and folklore of the area around Shannon Town and County Clare.

At its foundation its aim was to introduce the heritage of the region to the residents of Shannon, the newest town in Ireland. The society produces an annual journal called The Other Clare which has become one of the most widely respected historical and archaeological journals in Ireland.
