  • Multi-Channel Ground-Penetrating Radar Array Surveys of the Iron Age and Medieval Ringfort Bårby on the Island of Öland, Sweden
    remote sensing Article Multi-Channel Ground-Penetrating Radar Array Surveys of the Iron Age and Medieval Ringfort Bårby on the Island of Öland, Sweden Andreas Viberg 1,* , Christer Gustafsson 2 and Anders Andrén 3 1 Archaeological Research Laboratory, Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2 ImpulseRadar AB, Storgatan 78, SE–939 32 Malå, Sweden; [email protected] 3 Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 December 2019; Accepted: 4 January 2020; Published: 9 January 2020 Abstract: As a part of the project “The Big Five”, large-scale multi-channel ground-penetrating radar surveys were carried out at Bårby ringfort (Swedish: borg), Öland, Sweden. The surveys were carried out using a MALÅ Imaging Radar Array (MIRA) system and aimed at mapping possible buried Iron Age and Medieval remains through the interior in order to better understand the purpose of the fort during its periods of use. An additional goal was to evaluate the impact of earlier farming on the preservation of the archaeological remains. The data provided clear evidence of well-preserved Iron Age and Medieval buildings inside the fort. The size and the pattern of the Iron Age houses suggest close similarities with, for example, the previously excavated fort at Eketorp on Öland. Given the presence of a substantial cultural layer together with a large number of artefacts recovered during a metal detection survey, it is suggested that Bårby borg’s primary function during the Iron Age was as a fortified village.

  • 5. Excavation of a Ringfort at Leggetsrath West, County Kilkenny Anne-Marie Lennon
    5. Excavation of a ringfort at Leggetsrath West, County Kilkenny Anne-Marie Lennon Illus. 1—Location of the Leggetsrath West ringfort, Co. Kilkenny (based on Ordnance Survey Ireland map) The ringfort at Leggetsrath West was situated to the east of Kilkenny city, on the proposed route of the N77 Kilkenny Ring Road Extension (Illus. 1). The site was identified in a preliminary archaeological assessment of the road corridor as an area of potential archaeological interest. It was the only high point, a naturally occurring hillock, along the route of the proposed road. The site was in an area of rough grazing, which was bound to the east by the Fennell stream and to the west by Hebron Industrial Estate. Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd carried out investigations in 2004 when the gravel hillock was topsoil stripped, revealing a bivallate (double ditch) ringfort dating from the early historic period (NGR 252383, 155983; height 58.47 m OD; excavation licence no. 04E0661). The ringfort was delimited by two concentric ditches set 4 m apart, with an overall diameter of 54 m. Archaeological excavations were funded by the National Roads Authority through Kilkenny County Council. Historical and archaeological background The early historic period in Ireland is dominated by the introduction of Christianity in the fifth century AD. Apart from church sites, the settlement evidence of the period is 43 Settlement, Industry and Ritual Illus. 2—Plan of excavated features at Leggetsrath West (Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd) 44 A ringfort at Leggetsrath West, County Kilkenny dominated by two categories of monument: the ringfort and the crannóg.

  • Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands
    PART I — INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Islands attract attention.They sharpen people’s perceptions and create a tension in the landscape. Islands as symbols often create wish-images in the mind, sometimes drawing on the regenerative symbolism of water. This book is not about natural islands, nor is it really about crannogs — these small man-made islands. It is about the people who have used and lived on these crannogs over time.The tradition of island-building seems to have fairly deep roots, perhaps even going back to the Mesolithic, but the traces are not unambiguous.While crannogs in most cases have been understood in utilitarian terms as defended settlements and workshops for the wealthier parts of society, or as fishing platforms, this is not the whole story.I am interested in learning more about them than this.There are many other ways to defend property than to build islands, and there are many easier ways to fish. In this book I would like to explore why island-building made sense to people at different times. I also want to consider how the use of islands affects the way people perceive themselves and their landscape, in line with much contemporary interpretative archaeology,and how people have drawn on the landscape to create and maintain long-term social institutions as well as to bring about change. The book covers a long time-period, from the Mesolithic to the present. However, the geographical scope is narrow. It focuses on the region around Lough Gara in the north-west of Ireland and is built on substantial fieldwork in this area.

  • Arrangement of Space Inside Ölandic Ringforts a Comparative Study of the Spatial Division Within the Ringforts Eketorp, Sandby, and Ismantorp
    Arrangement of space inside Ölandic ringforts A comparative study of the spatial division within the ringforts Eketorp, Sandby, and Ismantorp Lund University The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology Department of Archaeology and Ancient History ARKM21, Archaeology and Ancient History: Master Thesis in Archaeology Spring semester 2019 Supervisor: Nicoló Dell'Unto Author: Fraya-Noëlle Denninghaus Abstract In the Iron Age AD, ringforts were constructed on the Swedish island Öland. Most of them contained a settlement inside. The remains of 15 of these ringforts are still preserved in the landscape. This thesis gives a general overview of the known and the possible Ölandic ringforts and their historical and constructional context, before analysing and comparing the settlements inside the ringforts Eketorp, Sandby, and Ismantorp regarding their spatial division and arrangement. At that, the focus lays on the main settlement phases in the Iron Age. The analysis was conducted to explore if there is a pattern in the arrangement of the settlements inside the ringforts and further to investigate the importance of sufficient open areas. In doing so, the arrangement and grouping of houses and open areas, the relation of built-up and open space, as well as the development of the respective interior settlement are analysed. The ringforts were an isolated and small settlement complex. Thus, usually there were houses with different kinds of functions (e.g. dwellings, stables, storehouses, workshops) within the ringforts. The results of this study show that there was more built-up space than open space inside each of the analysed ringforts. It is to assume that the open areas were used as public space respectively settlement squares.

Ireland and are known by various names, including fort, rath, dún and Pictures: © National Monuments Service Photographic Unit lios. Many of our townland names are derived from these ancient ringforts. Ringforts are usually circular, with a diameter of between 20 and 60 metres. They are deo ned by an earthen bank formed by material thrown up from a fosse or ditch im- mediately outside the bank. In more stony areas, particularly the West of Ireland, a large stone wall enclosed the farmstead instead of the ditch and bank; these are referred to as cashels or cahers. However, over the centuries the stones from many of these cashels have been taken for reuse in walls, roads and other structures. A small proportion of ringforts have two or more rings of protec- tive banks and ditches and these are believed to have belonged to the upper grades of society. The dwelling houses within these protected enclosures were generally circular thatched struc- tures with post and wattle walls and a central hearth sunken into the ground.
