Moynagh Lough Excavation Project | PI | Royal Irish Academy / RIA / Archaeology Research Excavation Grants | In 1980 the Royal Irish Academy recommenced funding the excavations at Moynagh, directed by John Bradley. In the years that followed, Moynagh became a flagship project for the Academy. Through the 1980s and 1990s, many individuals who would go on to hold the most senior offices in Irish archaeology – in universities, museums, the civil service and the private sector – cut their teeth trowelling back the years at Moynagh Lough. It turned out that this was an exceptional multi-period site with rich artefactual assemblages from multiple levels and phases. Over the years, John produced a number of reports and published several articles about the findings at Moynagh (see attached bibliography), but the main excavation report remains incomplete and unpublished. When John moved to Maynooth University from UCD in 1996 the Moynagh archive moved with him. MU took responsibility for housing the archive and administering the substantial research grants provided by the Royal Irish Academy. Students worked on the excavation and afterwards were involved in post-excavation tasks. Sadly, John passed away in 2014, leaving the excavation incomplete and unpublished. The archive – including over 8,000 artefacts, 20 boxes of soil samples, 50 notebooks, 40 ring-binders, and hundreds of plans, drawings, sketches and photographs – is still housed on campus in Maynooth. It is no exaggeration to state that Moynagh Lough is one of the most significant archaeological sites ever discovered in Ireland. Even though it has not yet been fully published, there is not an archaeologist in the country who has not heard of the site. For my own part, I was a volunteer, then a supervisor and finally Assistant Director of the excavations under John Bradley in the 1990s. I was the last Assistant Director of the site and I am more familiar with the archive than anyone else. I am John’s Literary Executor and I feel that I have a moral as well as a professional responsibility to see that Moynagh is fully published and that the archive and artefacts are transferred to the National Museum of Ireland in due course. I have assembled a steering committee including representatives from the National Museum of Ireland, the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, the Heritage Council, the Royal Irish Academy, Meath County Council, University College Dublin and Maynooth University, all of whom have visited the archive in Maynooth and all of whom are enthusiastic about and committed to seeing this project through to its natural conclusion. Maynooth University funded five 6-week work-experience programmes (summer 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) for students to work with me on sorting the archive and preparing finds and samples for analysis. Thanks primarily to the Archaeology Research Excavation Grants scheme, the Royal Irish Academy and the National Monuments Service, the Moynagh Lough Project is now up-and-running again. I think it is fair to say that this is a matter of some relief and satisfaction to all parties involved and to the wider archaeological community in Ireland. The scoping exercise (2019) identified a series of priorities; among these are conservation of metal artefacts, digitisation of plans and section drawings, transcription of site notebooks and record sheets, and assessment and analysis of palaeo-environmental samples. Moynagh Lough lies just over 400m south-west of Nobber in north Co. Meath, surrounded by a drumlin landscape of rich pasturelands. The surviving pool (200m by 60m) is all that remains of a once-much-larger lake that was drained in the early nineteenth century. That lake was an expanse of the River Dee, which, following drainage, now flows in a straight, man-made channel through the centre of the old lake bed. Excavation revealed that the initial human occupation of the site commenced in the centuries immediately before 4000BC wh | 18-SEP-20 | 27-NOV-20 | 9700 | |
