Abstract
County Limerick
Sean Kirwan
8 - 11
An appraisal of the material record and past archaeological activity in Co Limerick. It is suggested that its diversity and abundance means that it can be seen to have relevance to the understanding of all Irish archaeology. Co Limerick is rich in prehistoric sites from the Neolithic onwards as well as early historic ecclesiastical remains.
Organising Irish archaeology for the future
Michael Ryan
17 - 18
Argues for the standardisation of technique and centralisation of record storage making it possible to deal with Irish archaeology as a whole rather than as separate constituent parts. Calls for site records, notes and drawings to be mandatorily lodged in an agreed national archive a certain number of years after the conclusion of an excavation.
Dún Aengusa - Daingean nó Teampall
Stiophán Ó Rinne
19 - 21
It is suggested that we look again at the interpretation of Dun Aengus as a fortress and instead interpret it and the other Aran forts as ceremonial centres. It is argued that the chevaux--de--frise at Dun Aengus, its one really military--type feature, ought to be regarded as a status element erected to impress, and that the terraced walls should be regarded as grandstands for an inward--looking audience rather than as wall--walks for defenders.
First steps in medieval footwear
Dáire O'Rourke
22 - 23
The comparatively recent upsurge in urban excavation has increased finds of leather, in particular footwear. The single--piece shoe is common in a non--urban context during the Early Christian period and beyond, whereas the composite shoe, particularly the wrap around ankle boot, was already common in urban centres by the tenth century. There have also been examples of a `hybrid' style which may imply an amalgamation of indigenous and foreign influences.
The stone of Cethern's delusion
Victor M Buckley
A holed stone at Hurlstone, Co Louth, similar to the holed stone at Holestone, Co Antrim, is thought to be the holed stone mentioned in the early Irish heroic saga,Táin Bó Cuailnge.
