Drumclay Crannóg: The life and times of a Fermanagh lake-dwelling | Conference review contents page

The NIEA-sponsored conference Drumclay Crannóg: The life and times of a Fermanagh lake-dwelling was held in Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, on Saturday 27th September 2014. The following are a series of review accounts of the presentations on the day. Hopefully, they will serve as a taster for the findings and discoveries from the site until such time as they are superseded by more comprehensive, authoritative accounts.

Rather than continuously updating all previous posts with links to the most recent accounts, I’ve created this post as a central repository or ‘Contents Page’. Links to individual papers will go live as each is published - be patient and check back often!
