Evening everyone, if you have any glass out there that you’d like a specialist report on, I'm now concentrating work on prehistoric and early medieval glass (while I also look at early modern and modern glass). Please have a look at our website, google Glass in Archaeology.

It has been a privilege to work as archaeologists on the lovely site of Grange Castle for South Dublin County Council for most of this year. It is being carefully conserved by SDCC to be opened to the public shortly. It has a great murder hole just above the door (below). Thanks to all, the architects, contractors and archaeologists, including Niall O Hora (archaeological licensee) and Vera Power for their great work

Can anyone help us with an artefact id. What is this item photo back and front? - it may be a brass base for a more ornamented cruciform mount? it was attached to metal at the back and its roughened edges show that another metal was probably attached. Found in the gravels beneath Bandon Bridge during works for the FRS

Carrying out our survey of the tower in the Bandon River as part of the flood relief scheme. This tower was once on dry land and was connected to the north-west stretch of Bandon's town wall as can be seen on the 18th century map attached (courtesy of Clare McCutcheon). The photos show the break in the town wall exposed for the first time while the area around the tower was drained for the survey of the tower by Wills Bros Ltd, contractors for the scheme

From our excavations at Bandon Bridge, Co. Cork, for the Bandon Flood Relief Scheme, a William and Mary Irish halfpenny of 1692 found in the river at the bridge by a submerged stone structure that we are interpreting as part of the town defences

Large timber over 6m in length found under Bandon Bridge pier obviously predating the present bridge which was built in 1773 on or close to the line of the earlier town wall. This massive timber has a series of mortises on one side only associated with pegholes indicating that it was used laterally - could this be a part of a gate in the river associated with the 17th century town wall defences at this point?

JC&Co carried out testing in the River Bandon prior to works here for the Flood Relief Scheme by Wills Bros Ltd. We identified a stone built structure to the west of Bandon Bridge buried under the river gravels. When revealed by excavation, the stone walls, badly eroded and subsided, appeared to form some sort of defensive structure at the river where the east line of the town wall on the north side of the river terminated. The building of the town wall was commenced around 1612 but was not finished until the 1620s. The nature of this defensive structure is still uncertain.
