Crannog excavation

Yeah its good to see excavation report actually making
it to print. The pics on those pages are great. Hencken
knew how to make sure he left no stone unturned, and this
is true for the total excavation of Cahercommaun on the
Burren. Mind you he released his report in 1938 only
two years after the dig.The whole thing was re-evaluated
under the Western stone fort project by the Discovery
programme.He had good pics with his report as well,
also the re evaluation threw up a few interesting points
that he may had missed. Such was his extensive
excavation and field reports,there was no need to re-dig
anything.

I have the original Cahercommaun report. Very thorough for their time. As you say, lovely pics etc.
