Ballyhanna’s not a bad one… but alas, I’ve selecte all the top tens now, so it will unfortunately fall into the also-ran pile.

I’ve now written three of the series of four articles I was commissioned to write (covering 7 of the top ten sites). Check out article two – from ancient waterways to modern highways – posting up here in the next couple of days.

All the best Dizzy Frog, and glad you’re enjoying the site.

It has provided the basis of at least 2 Phd’s that I am aware of and the emerging data is of worldwide archaeological interest. Its simply has to be a dead cert for a top 10 place.Keep up the good work Brendon.

The roots of the Celtic Tiger boom are probably debatable, but most commentators would put the start date somewhere in the mid nineties.This stimulated the construction sector, which had a knock-on effect for development-led archaeology.

Probably more important for archaeology was the introduction of the NRA code of practice in 2001, which brought a structure and monitoring framework to the table.

I’d like to hear about sites from the early years, when the Tiger was but a purring puddy cat, to the final bite of the recession. They don’t have to be roads sites, but I imagine that many of them will be.

And yes, Lisheen would qualify – but on what grounds?
