This eleventh volume of proceedings of the annual "Friends of
Medieval Dublin Symposium" has two important reviews of our state
of knowledge on the archaeology of medieval Dublin: Linzi Simpson
updates her groundbreaking 'Forty years a digging' study of
archaeological digs in Dublin City (published in vol. I of the
series) to take in the ten 'Celtic Tiger' years; while Lorcan
Harney, Jonathan Kinsella and Aidan O'Sullivan of the Early
Medieval Archaeology Project (EMAP) present the findings of their
research on the results of excavations in Co. Dublin from 1930 to
2005. The volume also contains reports on archaeological
excavations: Teresa Bolger discusses excavations at Ormond Quay
Upper, that provide evidence about the original topography of 'the
Pill' at the confluence of the rivers Liffey and Bradogue; Rosanne
Meenan reports on her excavations at 23-27 Stephen Street Lower, in
the vicinity of the medieval St Peter's church; Edmund O'Donovan's
excavation at St Nahi's church in Dundrum revealed a series of
fortified enclosures around the early monastic foundation; while
Colm Moriarty's dig at Portmarnock found evidence of occupation
from an early medieval enclosure to the remains of its late
medieval vill.
