Hall of the Red Earl is a very cool, free exhibit where there has been an excavation of an historic site. It is down a small alleyway across from the Druid Theatre. Good such a small site, there is a good amount of information and a walkway sound the top of the ruins. Very interesting and worth a stop when in Galway.
