    Early medieval ringfort/rath reconstruction at UCD -an enclosed "dwelling space" to be used for houses, crafts, metalworking projects & student teaching etc. The "rath's" bank & ditch will be recorded in 3D as it changes, & as grasses, weed and flowers colonise soil

    This simple earthen bank in Co Galway is not just a field division, it also marks a townland, a parish and a barony boundary. It's quite feasible that parts of it are c. 1000 years old. The clump of trees on the horizon are in an early medieval ringfort

    Jackdaw nesting in a medieval putlog hole, Dunmore, Co Galway. Putlog holes held timber scaffolding beams during the construction of the building. They were normally filled in as the scaffolding was removed, but not always :)

    We came across Mullaghfad Church set alone now in the depths of forest plantations near Sliabh Beagh. Early C19th (Board of First Fruits?). Isolated. No electric. Still used, occasionally. Charming and creepy.
