As some of you are all aware, I was previously and Archaeologist. I thought i'd share my sites with you all!
College work experiences saw me on this one in Dundalk Co.Louth

I was on the site when they started stripping back and found the first curve of the ringfort. I returned to the site for a few days in the summer before heading to my very first employed Dig! It was in Carraigmacross in Co. Monaghan.

this was by far the best dig i was ever on! And hte weather was great that summer!
From there i moved on to Mullingar In Co. Westmeath

It was a medieval burial site. I was only there for a short while before the site finished up and we moved back to Dundalk this time to a bronze age burial site!

this site actually went on until the May and then we moved a bit down the road to another short lived site

the after a short bit of unemployment i relocated to Cavan town.

not the best site as burnt mounds are awful to deal with but i did get to excavate a cooking pit!
then after anothe bout of unemployment i went to work on the famous carrickmines site!
This site had been going on for years so i cant find the exact excavations i worked on but heres a whole load of the Carrickmines excavation history!

from there i went to my second last site. A viking dig on church street in Dublin.

this was my very last excavation not far from where i grew up.

a lengthier bout of unemployment meant i took a job "temporarily" in a bookstore... five years later... i'm still there!
