Abstract
Birsay: an Orcadian centre of political and ecclesiastical power: a retrospective view on work in the 1970s and 1980...
Christopher D Morris
1 - 29
An examination of the historical and archaeological evidence concerning Birsay on the northwest coast of mainland Orkney, and in particular its role as a centre of political and ecclesiastical power during the Pictish period. After an introduction and consideration of the historical evidence relating to Birsay Bay, the author considers the pre-Norse period in Orkney; the archaeology of the Pictish period in the North generally and in Birsay; and its place in the wider world.
The Roman road between Caer Gai and Rhûg
Edmund Waddelove
31 - 52
Account of the Roman road linking the fort at Caer Gai and the legionary fortress at Chester, tracing its route from Caer Gai to Rhûg Park, including a discussion of previous observations and details of features not previously recorded which, the author argues, show that the road ran not through Glanyrafon (as previously suggested) but directly on to the route following the Vale of Clwyd.
Hafoty, Llansadwrn, Anglesey: excavations and survey of a medieval house
Philip W Dixon
53 - 126
Examination of a medieval house at Hafoty, showing a more complex history of the building than previously envisaged. The building began, perhaps during the fourteenth century, as a large clay and timber T-plan house with a great chamber above its services. During the course of the fifteenth century the clay walling was progressively replaced in stone, and at the end of that century a new chamber block was built at the upper end of the hall, converting the structure into an H-plan house. During the sixteenth century the open fire which heated the hall was replaced by an elaborate lateral stack. Towards the end of that century the house was converted into a dairy house occupied by tenant farmers, and declined in status. During the nineteenth century floors and room divisions were inserted; these have now almost all been removed during a programme of restoration. Includes
