Public invited to drink in remarkable story of Bronze Age 'face' teacup found in Cork
The Mitchelstown Face Cup was made during the Bronze Age, between 3,800 and 3,600 years ago.
People can now come face-to-face with their own 3D copies of one of Ireland’s most remarkable and mysterious archaeological finds — a near 4,000-year-old teacup with a big personality — thanks a new online resource.
To mark Culture Night on Friday, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has published a free story map resource which tells the fascinating story of the unique Mitchelstown Face Cup — a prehistoric teacup in the shape of a human face — whose discovery in north Cork over two decades ago sent shockwaves through the archaeological world.
