Early Medieval Dwellings and Settlements in Ireland, AD 400-1100: Vol. 2 Gazetteer of Site Descriptions

EMAP initially worked on the first draft of the Settlement Gazetteer (Vol. II) between July and December 2009. Between July and November in 2010, EMAP has written its preceding report (Vol. I), which is a thematic appraisal of the rural, ecclesiastical and urban settlement evidence from early medieval Ireland and explores the types of dwellings, enclosures, unenclosed settlements and related agricultural, industrial and craft activities. EMAP has also added additional site summaries to Vol. II although the time constraints of our research meant it was again impossible to include all significant settlement excavations. We have also updated or re-written certain site summaries based on newly published information or on feedback and comments from site directors.
