Abstract
Trees and woodland in early medieval Ireland: an ethnohistorical approach
Aidan O'Sullivan
3 - 7
Assesses Irish literary references dating from the seventh to the twelfth centuries AD to the use of trees, the value of individual species, symbolism and woodworking techniques. AR
The Lough Carra causeway, Ireland
Diarmuid Lavelle
13 - 15
Preliminary observations of a submerged causeway consisting of two unjoined sections of oak uprights (no cross timbers) running into Lough Carra from the east and west shores. Only two posts on the western shore are not submerged. Dated by dendrochronology to 1101 BC. AR
A Winchester tree-ring chronology and a medieval walnut toilet seat
Jennifer Hillam
16 - 20
Describes timbers preserved in waterlogged deposits at The Brooks in Winchester. Most were from pit linings, mainly oak with some beech, plus the remains of a walnut toilet seat from the house of a wealthy merchant. Tree-ring chronologies for AD 443--1128 and AD 1157--1241 were established from analysis of the timbers. AR
Stonea Camp, Cambridgeshire
Tim Malim
22 - 23
This Iron Age hillfort in the Cambridgeshire fens, although scheduled, has suffered much destruction through agriculture. Excavations carried out as part of a long-term management plan implemented in 1990 produced evidence for the Camp's occupation and military use, despite the negative results of an earlier geophysical survey. Preservation in the southern ditches was good and the continuing survival of these organic remains must be ensured, perhaps by creating an area of flooded land and thereby setting a standard for dealing with problems posed by the drying-out of fen areas.

Hornbeam and holly structural timbers from medieval London: a preliminary note
Ian Tyers
Helen Hibberd
Nigel Nayling
Notes the structural use of hornbeam and holly, generally used for firewood, on a site on the western limit of medieval London. It is suggested that the use of these species in this context was due to the increasing expense of the main hardwoods. AR
The Goldcliff project, Wales
Martin G Bell
Describes wooden structures and trackways excavated at this intertidal site in the Severn Estuary. With a 14C date of 2120 + 90 BP the buildings have no parallel in Britain. A few bones at the entrance to one building were the only finds. AR
