Erratics and re-cycled stone
There are many theories explaining later prehistoric 'trade' and 'exchange systems' in stone artefacts. Evidence matching the petrographic information of transported implements with the country rock (local bedrock) where 'factories' produced flaked stone axes is felt to be compelling. Consequently, across Europe it is widely believed that the only way 'factory' rock could have reached the places where artefacts have been found was by human carria…
Some Reflections on the Archaeological Institute's Oxford Congress in 1850
The Archaeological Institute came into being in 1845 as a rival to the British Archaeological Association, itself founded 1843–44. Departing significantly from the contemporary traditions of established antiquarian societies, both held annual summer meetings thereafter. These introduced authoritative speakers, new discoveries and historical interpretations to a wider public, conference proceedings being published for a while in bespoke volumes. H…

C. C. Rafn, J. J. A. Worsaae, Archaeology, History and Danish National Identity in the Schleswig-Holstein Question
Between 1789 and 1815 Europe was devastated by a series of intermittent Wars waged by the French. The first part came about through the French Revolution, the second, the Napoleonic Wars, were about Bonaparte’s thirst for conquest. Almost at the end of them, Denmark’s attempted neutrality was to cost her the loss of Norway by cessation to Sweden under the Treaty of Kiel in 1814. The Norwegians felt particularly aggrieved by this, a ploy on the pa…
The Archaeology of Copper Mining on Mount Gabriel, Co. Cork, Ireland
Some thirty shallow workings (adits/pits) on Mount Gabriel, Co. Cork, Ireland (Irish National Grid V 93 34) are believed to date from the Bronze Age. Radiometric dates place charcoal from excavations between 1966 and 1987 firmly in the second millennium BC. Documentation of historic mining in the same area has been felt not to challenge either this dating or the location of what have been seen as distinctly separate prehistoric and historic indus…
Aberglasney
Printed and documentary sources, archaeological excavation, dendrochronology and geophysical survey are employed to investigate the history of Aberglasney, a small country house near Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire (SN 5815 2213). Traditions about its garden layout, parapet walkway, a gatehouse and a yew ‘tunnel’ are examined. Circa 1600, Bishop Anthony Rudd (1549–1614) probably built a ‘cwrt’ enclosure aligned north-south. The gatehouse belonged to t…
A Historiography of the Irish Crannog
The nineteenth century development of Irish crannog studies, attitudes to archaeological research and traits in public and private artefact collecting are examined through the parts played by several leading antiquaries and institutions in the 1839 discovery and later exploitation of Lagore, near Dunshaughlin, County Meath. Connections between Irish and Swiss antiquaries are noted, and contemporary attitudes to their respective ‘lake dwelling’ di…
Two Cordoned Urns from Fan y Big, Brecon Beacons, Powys
Late in November 1981, Mr M. Wright of the Danywenallt Centre, Talybont, noticed fragments of prehistoric pottery and an associated cremation burial in an area eroded by walkers in the pathway on Fan y Big (SO 03712057; fig. 1). The site lies at a height of 655 m on one of the denuded spurs of the northern escarpment of the Beacons (pl. 12). The find itself lay next to a small dry-stone beacon about 1 m high, on the knife-edge of the spur and les…
Axe-Making Traditions in Cumbrian Stone
The ‘trade’ in Cumbrian stone axes (CBA Group VI Great Langdale Borrowdale Volcanics) is reviewed. The form, wear and natural attrition of ‘roughout’ implements, together with environmental, cultural and antiquarian aspects of their findspots, is discussed. The character of the Cumbrian axe ‘factories’ is considered. Lists of re-cycled stone found within and outside the Lake District are presented and their distributions compared and contrasted t…

A Neglected Viking Burial with Beads from Kilmainham, Dublin, Discovered in 1847
THE DISCOVERY of a Viking-Age burial in the Kilmainham-Islandbridge cemetery, Dublin, comprising skeleton, spear, sword-fragments and beads, is described from antiquarian MSS sources. The surviving pieces are detailed and the deposit tentatively dated to the late 9th or early 10th century. The grave-goods indicate one, possibly two, burials, one female. A brief survey of similar pagan burials in the British Isles and a close examination of this o…
Copper Mining at Mount Gabriel, Co. Cork
The background to discoveries of early mining sites in southwest Ireland is examined. Particular attention is devoted to the workings at Mount Gabriel, currently believed to date from the Bronze Age. Working principally from historical sources it is concluded that the site was exploited in shallow workings and trial pits between c. 1852 and 1862. Theories concerning the output of these and other Irish mines are discussed. Palaeoenvironmental and …
