The site of a prehistoric round cairn and reputedly the pre-Christian inauguration site of the Kings of Uíbh Eachach Cobha, Knock Iveagh in County Down, Northern Ireland, is the centre of an important archaeological landscape. In 2017 a broadband mast, and later a wind turbine, were erected adjacent to the cairn without a lawful planning process or environmental impact assessment. This work also resulted in closure of the site to the public. In response, the Friends of Knock Iveagh launched a campaign in 2017 to remove these structures, protect the cairn and raise awareness regarding the archaeological significance of the site and its wider historic landscape. The broadband mast has since been removed, but the campaign continues. Dr Claire Nolan talks to Anne Harper of the Friends of Knock Iveagh about how these changes to Knock Iveagh have personally impacted her, as well as other residents, and how, if adequately protected and reopened to the public, the site can benefit the local community.
