Dr Tomás Ó Carragáin and John Sheehan of UCC's Archaeology Department have been awarded a substantial grant under the Heritage Council's Irish National Strategic Archaeological Research (INSTAR) Programme.
The grant is for Year 1 of a multi-year project titled 'Making Christian Landscapes, Settlement, Society and Regionality in Early Medieval Ireland'. This project will explore the physical and conceptual transformation of the Irish landscape during the early medieval period: a process which was intimately bound up with the arrival and development of a new religion 'Christianity'and its attendant power structures.
The 'Making Christian Landscapes' team includes Dr Sam Turner of the University of Newcastle, Aegis Archaeology Ltd, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Dr Paul MacCotter, and IRCHSS scholars Gill Boazman and Bernadette McCarthy.
