- PublicationArchaeological excavations at Lugduff Townland, Upper Lake, Glendalough, Co. Wicklow 2011 : stratigraphic report(University College Dublin. School of Archaeology, 2012-06)
; ; ; In 2009 the UCD School of Archaeology initiated a broad research and teaching project focusing on the Glendalough Valley with a specific initial focus on the landscapes in the Upper Valley. The aim of this broader project is to integrate teaching and research, especially at undergraduate level. In 2011 this will include c. 40 students in a two week teaching project which included geoarchaeological survey, environmental sampling, geophysical survey, drawn and electronic survey, excavation and public outreach. In terms of the excavation, our aims in 2011 were to continue to examine the complex of features uncovered in 2010 in Lugduff townland (10E0311, see McDermott et al. 2010). These excavations successfully ground‐truthed the geophysical survey, but were not been able to fully characterise the very interesting archaeological features uncovered. In 2011 we excavated a 10mx10m trench (Trench 2) focusing on the anticipated junction of the track and path (Figure 1). A smaller trench (5m x 10m, Trench 4) focused on a geophysical anomaly located to the NE of the caher and located equidistant between two upstanding cross bases.272 - PublicationGlendalough: the Upper LakeGlendalough (Gleann Dá Loch, ‘Glen of the Two Loughs’) in the Wicklow Mountains is a beautiful landscape, famed for its cultural and natural heritage. It is the place that St Kevin (Cóemgen) adopted as a spiritual retreat, to be close to nature, and where he founded a celebrated monastery, probably in the later sixth century.
584 - PublicationArchaeological Excavations at the Monastic Complex, Sevenchurches or Camaderry Townland, Glendalough: 2017 Stratigraphical Report(University College Dublin. School of Archaeology, 2018-06-14)
; ; This document outlines the results of excavations undertaken in August 2017 in the immediate surrounds of the main Monastic Complex at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. This project forms part of a long term UCD School of Archaeology research and teaching project in the Glendalough Valley and includes work undertaken at the behest of the National Monuments Service.698 - PublicationA late Mesolithic lithic scatter from Corralanna, Co. Westmeath, and its place in the Mesolithic landscape of the Irish MidlandsThis report discusses a surface collection of late Mesolithic date from Corralanna, Co. Westmeath. The site, which was discovered after peat extraction in 1999, is characterised by a lithic assemblage comprised almost exclusively of chert, two axes, some coarse stone tools and a small range of organic finds including uncarbonised hazelnut shells. This discussion reviews the material from Corralanna, with an especial emphasis on the character of the chipped stone assemblage, placing the site in its appropriate landscape and archaeological contexts. Three radiocarbon dates from hazelnut shells were obtained. These are not demonstrably associated with the lithics, but the dates are in keeping with late Mesolithic stone tool technology. Although the assemblage is derived from a surface collection, and suffers from some of the problems associated with this, the site at Corralanna offers a significant contribution to our understanding of Mesolithic settlement in the midlands, an area rich in Mesolithic archaeology, but one that has been somewhat neglected until recently.
1061 - PublicationGeophysical Survey at the Upper Lake, Glendalough, Co. Wicklow(University College Dublin. School of Archaeology, 2012-11)
; ; ; ; The UCD School of Archaeology in collaboration with archaeological geophysical consultant Ian Elliott carried out geophysical survey at the Upper Lake, Glendalough in 2009 and 2010. This has allowed us to identify previously unknown archaeological features beneath the ground surface.642 - PublicationArchaeological Excavations at the Monastic Complex, Sevenchurches or Camaderry Townland, Glendalough, Co. Wicklow: 2015 Stratigraphical Report(University College Dublin. School of Archaeology, 2016-06)
; ; ; This document outlines the results of small scale excavation undertaken in August 2015 in the immediate surrounds of the main Monastic Complex at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. This project forms part of a long term UCD School of Archaeology research and teaching project in the Glendalough Valley and includes work undertaken at the behest of the National Monuments Service.510 - PublicationCharcoal production at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow(University College Dublin. School of Archaeology, 2012-09)
; ; A large number of small-medium sized earthen platforms are present on the steep slopes surrounding the Upper Lake at Glendalough. These have been known about since the nineteenth century, and surveys in the late Twentieth century identified about 100 in total. Charcoal was frequently observed where these were disturbed.1470 - PublicationCommunity Graveyard Survey at Glendalough Monastic Site, Co. Wickow(School of Archaeology, University College Dublin for Glendalough Heritage Forum, 2015-10)
; ; ; In August 2015 a new collaborative programme of work began which focuses on the Graveyard at Glendalough. The Glendalough Graveyard Survey was initiated by the Glendalough Heritage Forum and sought to advance our understanding of the graveyard by bringing together the local community, specialists in graveyard recording, State Agencies and University students and researchers. This newsletter highlights the ongoing work of the Graveyard Survey and some key results to date.1010 - PublicationExcavations on Céide Hill, Behy & Glenulra, North Co. Mayo, 1963-1994(UCD School of Archaeology and the Irish Strategic Archaeological Research Programme (INSTAR), 2011-12)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; This report outlines the results of excavations at and near the Céide Fields Visitor Centre, North Co. Mayo. Three projects are included here: Dr Seán Ó Nualláin, Prof Michael Herity and Prof Ruaridhí de Valéra’s excavations at the court tomb at Behy (1963-1969); Prof Seamas Caulfield’s excavations at the Glenulra Enclosure (1970-1972); and Gretta Byrne and Noel Dunne’s excavations in advance of the construction of the Céide Fields Visitor Cente (1989-1993). This report forms part of the Neolithic and Bronze Age Landscapes of North Mayo (NBNM) project which aims to bring to full publication the survey and excavations in north Mayo carried out by Caulfield and his students. The NBNM project has been supported by the Heritage Council (2008) and INSTAR (2009-2011). This project will finish in 2012, with a full text covering all aspects of the research and extensive interpretative discussion. This current report focuses on presenting the results of the excavations and an overall chronological model for the Céide Fields Visitor Centre site: the wider aspects of interpretation of site function, significance and parallels will be addressed next year. This will include comparative discussion of the specialist analyses summarised here.522
