I've always wondered this . The numerous wars , battles , . The discovered settlements ,tombs and burials, crannogs etc etc . Has anything of huge significance been discovered in the last 50-100 years .

Well the easiest answer is:

Almost everything we now know about Irish Archaeology has been found in the last 50 to 100 years!
