Plaster mould from 18thC context on Bride St, Dublin. Any ideas what it was for??

Instead of burning/plundering, did the Vikings build/patronise Dublin churches?? Thx to Neil + Roisin Abarta Heritage for a great recording experience abartaheritage.ie/stories-of-old… The Friends of Medieval Dublin Medievalists.net Society for Church Archaeology

Great listen

An unsentimental Tudor-era mason fairly hacked up this 13thC grave-slab for his window sill!

On Audible/Spotify/Apple etc

Has to be seen to be believed - an early 16thC tower is cinched into folds by a massive and hyper-real stone belt!! Just one of the literally thousands of jaw dropping details at the UNESCO WH site, Convention di Cristo, Tomar, Portugal….just amazing

Tomorrow I will be exploring results from IAC Archaeology excavations at this The Friends of Medieval Dublin tour as part of the brilliant Culture Date D8 programme culturedatewithdublin8.ie/whats-on/me-je…
