Editor's Notes
- Eachtra have excavated 37 FF sites over 7 projects over the course of 10 yrs this talk is a result of an effort to combuine analyse and understand the data garnered over the 10 yrs An experiment with hot stone technlogy has infleunced our thinking about the excavation results we are seeing at these sites A range of features and patterns of associated features have been identified over the course of these excavations and some of these examples will be examined Eachtra have been gradually introducing a GIS approach to our excavation projects which helps with the micro level problems of site database management and interpretation but also has proven successful in more macro level landscape and spatial analysis. – some preliminary results will also be presented Some hard data will be examined because without data you just another person with an opinion Some recent theories on the proposed function of these sites has invigorated eachtra’s thinking on these monuments – Grogan (gaspipeline), Roycroft, Moore and Quinn Some very soft data and impressions from the excavations has led eachtra to explore the functions of these monuments and examine some way of producing evidence for these functional theories The excavations upon which this talk is based have been undertaken in a copopeartive team based approach and so the authors would like to acknowledge the input of excavation teams, supervisors directors project managers nra archaeologists and post excavation analysts for their input
