Our site assistant Gabriella has just spent the last few days planning our Limerick Georgian house foundations in minute detail. The plan is amazing and could easily be framed.

Next up is a medieval house.

Anyone who did archaeology in UCD in the 90s will remember the fantastic Michael Herity, George Eogan and John Bradley. Dorothy Kelly can also be added to that pantheon of great academics and teachers.

Condolences to her family and friends from everyone here at ACSU who are who we are because of her.

We were saddened to learn of the recent passing of Victor Buckley. Everyone who has worked in Irish Archaeology would have come into contact with Victor at some point. He will be remembered for his friendly, jolly and supportive personality for many a young archaeologist starting out.

Another icon of Irish Archaeology passed.
