I got accepted to the MA in Archaeology of Art and Architecture in UCD, cant wait (didnt get in to Cork last 2 years). It's a dream come true for me. Love architecture in all shapes and forms . Renovating our house at the mo (built in 1798). Involved in the local hist and arch society at home, and that involveent has deepened my interest (off to do surveying of locality each weekend during sumer!) Hope to see ye in UCD next Sept. Please be nice to a poor Cork Girleen.

I'm hoping to get the MA at UCD too!! The waiting for finals results is driving me crazy... I hope to see you there!!

I want to do the new Contemporary and Historical course. There is a lot of crossover between that and A&A. There is a good Arch. Soc. at UCD too; lots of social events and trips are being planned (I hope!!) by the new committee.

Hi, I just finished working with the Discovery Programme in Tulsk, Co. Roscommon....is that the field school you speak of???

Otherwise I'm a reserach post-grad at UCG with contract sector experience.

2nd year UCD archaeology... so I'm in class with a couple of you. And I use the term "in class" very loosely... some attend more than others.

I went on a dig last summer in Mayo and I packed these teeny little shorts. LOL!! Needless to say, they didn't see daylight and I'll be leaving them out this year. Dammit, why can't archaeology be just like Lara Croft said it would?!

It won't matter how much fun you thought it was going to be, saving our culture, you'll end up like the rest of the Archaeologists in the country. Cold, wet, muddy, arthritic and underpaid.

Oh God I definately agree with the above. I seem to spend most of my days bailing the water off site than digging it. At least the sun seems to be making a appearance this week. Graduated from UCC in 2001 and have being digging ever since. It's not what I thought it would be in college. Better in some ways and much worse in others!

New to boards.ie, I have completed one module in the part-time cert in archaeology in UCD. Not living in Dublin anyone so havent had been able to do anymore parts of it.
I have an interest in megaliths, I like photographing and talking about them.
I post some of my pics at http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/user/6120.
Ever since learning about Newgrange in school Id love to discover a new astronomical alignment at a monument. Would love to find some new rock-art I think there has to be loads of it out their to be rediscovered.

Check out the research work conducted by Dr. Blaize O'Connor on the rock art in Co. Monaghan. I think that Archaeology Ireland had an article on it a year or so ago. There is a fair amount of rock art in Wicklow and very little is marked on the OS map 56. There are some on the SMR's though.

bawn79 · 27-11-2007, 16:04

Thanks for that, I saw the article on Archaeology Ireland alright. www.archaeology.ie is another good site for looking up rock-art.
Personally Id love to find some new rock-art in an area where it hasnt been found before! Im being a bit over optimistic maybe!

Hi All... heard about this place!! I'm studying archaeology in UCC at the moment and loving it!! I'm from Wicklow and live near a 10th century church, not too far from Wicklow Gap.
