A number of archaeological finds ranging from pre-history to a 19th century farmhouse are to go on display in Listowel, Co Kerry.
It comes as engineers prepare to enter lands to prepare for a major bypass of the town on the Feale River.
Archaeologists working on behalf of Kerry County Council uncovered sites across the historical spectrum on the outskirts of the town.
More than half of the 6km route goes through untouched land, and many of the finds were previously undetected.
The finds include prehistoric cooking sites, and charcoal-production pits, as well as the remains of a 19th-Century dwelling at Curraghatoosane.
A variety of techniques were used to determine the presence of the previously unknown finds.
These included a geophysical survey, followed by the excavation of exploratory test trenches and then open-area excavations.
A site at Curraghatoosane with the clear remains of a 19th century farmhouse just off the Ballybunion Road will act as a show case on Tuesday.
Archaeologist Fintan Walsh said the team will be happy to answer questions not just on the house, but on lesser remarked finds.
"A lot of archaeology is not very visual. This site is quite visual and people will recognise the outlines of walls, a fire place and such," he said.
It will be used as a starting point then for the less recognisable items and some of these will be laid out with explanatory notes including historical maps.
The cooking pits, known as Fulacht Fia, go back thousands of years and some of the Listowel ovens still contained original wood and stone.
The site will be open to the public between 3pm and 6pm.
The bypass along the west and north of Listowel was objected to by environmentalists and from some of the town's business people.
Work is set to begin in March 2020 and the cost has been estimated at over €32 million.
