Did you know that a new education centre is being built by hand at Stonehenge? It is based on Durrington 68, a late Neolithic square-in-circle timber structure. Watch regular updates from Luke, the project leader, here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LATY...

"Get a bus from [Dublin] airport to Galway, say, and spend the journey looking out the window, you’re struck not by how green this famously green country is, but how utterly barren it has become." Good @irishexaminer.bsky.social piece by Colin Sheridan. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Colin Sheridan: We need a national tree strategy

European countries boast an average 35% forest cover yet Ireland stands at a disgraceful 11%; much of our country is as barren as the Sierra Nevada

I’m assisting Trees for Life with the Wild Pine Project to locate unrecorded remnants of Scotland’s Caledonian Pine Forests. In Gleann Fionnlighe nr Fort William we cored several old trees. My analysis shows the oldest originate in early 1600s so very probably wild, not planted. #ThickTrunkTuesday

Viewed from high up on a steep hillside, a large Scots pine tree in foreground has a strong dark stem outline with several branches reaching for the misty sky supporting a large green canopy. Other mature pine are sparsely dotted over the hilly landscape and glen in background. Ground colours are yellow brown of bracken and moorland grasses.

Glad to talk on Rosslare Fort today in Belfast at the Irish Post Medieval Archaeology Group conference. It is the 100th anniversary of the abandonment of Rosslare Fort in Wexford this year after the storm on Christmas Eve 1924 turned it into an island #CHERISHlegacy @discoveryprogramme.bsky.social

Happy St Brigid’s Day! The cult of St Brigid travelled beyond Ireland, including to Wales. In the CHERISH project we collaborated with colleagues in Wales researching sites at risk from climate change, including the lime kiln at St Brides Haven #CHERISHlegacy #RCAHMW @aberuni.bsky.social

One of the absolute highlights of my professional life to date - aerial survey along the Kerry coast! It was a dream come true to work on the CHERISH project & I learnt so much from @drtobydriver.bsky.social Fortunate to be continuing the #CHERISH legacy now with @discoveryprogramme.bsky.social

When I'm not doing outreach #archaeology & climate heritage in #Ireland with The Discovery Programme, I'm generally found hanging with these guys & @epiphytic.bsky.social 🌱

A simply extraordinary Iron Age staircase, preserved within the wall thickness of the ruinous #Broch tower at Dun Carloway, Isle of Lewis, in the Outer #Hebrides. The sophisticated pre-Roman architecture here blew me away when I saw it this June - a real bucket-list moment 📷 My own 2024

A stone staircase built of uneven slabs winds its way up inside a dark drystone tower, with steep walls to either side

It's time to get the conversation going here on climate change and cultural heritage. Here's a starter pack I made. Let me know if you'd like to get on or off it. #ClimateHeritage go.bsky.app/HmZ38CC
