Abstract
The prehistoric landscape of the Great Sugar Loaf
Christiaan Corlett
1 - 8
Argues that the Great Sugar Loaf mountain is an example of a topographical feature that became a religious symbol and played an important role in the prehistoric ritual landscape of the area. It is suggested that the mountain was a source of religious inspiration from the Mesolithic onwards, although it seems to have lost its religious significance at the dawn of Christianity, perhaps earlier.
Observations on aspects of the Baltinglass hillfort complex
Tom Condit
9 - 25
An unusual concentration of particularly large hillforts in the vicinity of Baltinglass (comprising Hughstown, Rathcoran, Rathnagree, Tinoranhill and the complex at Spinans Hill) is described and discussed with regard to dating (probably BA rather than IA), classification, association with ritual landscapes, the apparent pairing of hillforts, the occurrence of cairns and mounds within forts, and rampart design.
A cross-inscribed pillar stone on Tonelagee Mountain, Co Wicklow
Conleth Manning
26 - 28
Describes the stone, located at c 780m OD on the north shoulder of Tonelagee, which is not marked on Ordnance Survey maps. Although such stones are thought difficult to date, the motif has expanded terminals common on inscribed crosses of the Early Historic period.
Two Viking burials from County Wicklow
Raghnall Ó Floinn
29 - 35
Draws attention to two discoveries of artefacts, both probably from Viking burials: a Viking sword found at Morragh, near Wicklow. in 1908 and a pair of oval brooches in gilt copper alloy with a silver chain, found near Arklow in c 1900/01.
Saint Patrick, Vikings and Inber De{acute}; -- Longphort in the Early Irish tradition
Edel Bhreathnach
36 - 40
An examination of historical references to the river mouth Inber Dé (landing place of St Patrick and later a Viking base), leads to a possible elucidation of the origin of the sometimes controversial term longphort (meaning an encampment -- see also 99/621).
Eighteenth-century headstones and the stone mason tradition in County Wicklow: the work of Denis Cullen on Monaseed
Eoin Grogan
41 - 63
Describes a further sixty-four examples of Cullen's work (adding to those recorded by Ada Longfield in the 1940s and 1950s).
Recent stray finds from County Wicklow
Christiaan Corlett
64 - 66
Notes on a stone mortar and quern fragment (both Early Medieval) from Kindlestown Castle; and a stone macehead and saddle quern (Neo or BA) from Russelltown.
