Abstract
The archaeology of Stone Age settlement
Grahame G D Clark
3 - 16
Stress is placed on the need to excavate sites in which equipment made from organic materials has survived. Only thus can a proper study of subsistence be made, revealing both the options open to a community and the constraints set upon them. Three categories of territory may be distinguished: the home area, close to the settlement; the annual area, that regularly exploited; and the social area, that territory available as a result of social grouping. One must distinguish between redistribution and trade mechanisms, and careful thought is needed about the implications of continuity and change in the archaeological record.
Pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating of deposits at Slieve Gullion passage grave, County Armagh
A G Smith

[J 025203]. The 14C dates demonstrate a very slow deposition rate for the peat deposits at the margin of the cairn. A major elm decline with signs of woodland clearance at c 2000 BC is unlikely to be connected with the building of the main passage grave cairn. The appearance of small stones in the deposit corresponds with signs of woodland or scrub clearance on the mountain and may relate to the cairn-building; the date-bracket for these stones is c 3300 to c 2000 bc. Two further periods of rather intense human activity in the area are datable to c 1300 bc and c 700 bc; by the latter date the mountain was treeless and heath-covered. Hazel scrub was important from pre-Neolithic times onwards. Au(abr)
A chi-rho carved stone at Drumaqueran, Co Antrim
Ann Hamlin
22 - 28
D 016271. The first chi-rho stone in NE Ireland is one of a large and puzzling group of early cross-carved stones at sites without other known ecclesiastical associations. Some may have belonged to churches now vanished, others were perhaps mere waymarkers or memorials. When mapped, the chi-rho stones of the British Isles illustrate once again the activity of the western seaways. The Drumaqueran example probably relates to the Galloway group, but cannot be dated closer than c 6th-8th centuries.
A group of raths at Ballypalady, County Antrim
Dudley M Waterman
29 - 36
J 266873. Two out of a group of three raths were excavated in advance of proposed agricultural works; their significance cannot be fully assessed until the third is examined. Rath 2, surrounded by multiple banks and ditches (the outermost being non-defensive) contained a round timber house 21ft across and a rectangular ?byre. This rath abuts on the earlier Rath 1 (unexcavated). Rath 3, essentially univallate, produced little evidence for internal structures and may be a cattle pen. Extremely narrow entrances are features of Raths 2 and 3. Finds included souterrain ware, glass beads and a bronze pin; bone did not survive.
A 17th-century farmhouse at Liffock, County Londonderry
Desmond McCourt

C 772349. Documentary evidence suggests that the farmhouse was in existence in 1691. The roof was supported by five cruck trusses, giving the house a three-room plan of parlour, kitchen and bedroom. The cruck blades were of adzed oak, trusses 2 and 3 being the split halves of a single tree. All were open with probably a collar only; a short yoke connects them. The purlins, believed to be contemporary with the trusses, were sampled for dendrochronological study. The felling date for the timber, 1690, corroborates the historical evidence for the building date of 1691. E W
