Among good company in this year @iaiarchaeo.bsky.social JIA. My paper explores phasing of 12/13th C. Buildings in Connacht and regional patronage of stonemasons. - Thanks to Dr. Kerri Cleary for all her editorial guidance. I have big shoes to fill as I step into the editorial role.

Well it's official this is what my summer looks like. RSAI funded research for Co. Mayo. Each dot represents a church listed in the 12/13th C. And I'm going to visit them all. Decided to add in Sligo and Galway as medieval diocese did not have modern boundaries so lots of cross over

When you're stuff behind a desk research can be a slog, until you get out in the field and those sites become real and your ideas and theories comes to life. Some exciting finds today (not pictured) here, but they mean big things for discussing High Medieval churches in Connaught

When you realise that the 'window fragment' is actually the shaft of a cross and there is decoration on it. Wayside Cross, Co. Roscommon

It's been a busy two years of research. Looking at 12th C. Connacht. These are just some of the stones I've identified (with a lot of help). Fingers cross they will be published next year.

There is nothing like an article deadline to make you write. Finally getting my thoughts together on surveys from the last two years, currently trying to find a quote to support my dates for this Cross from Ogulla, Roscommln, which greatly supports my wider argument.
