Description
The first volume in the Clonmacnoise Studies series was published in 1998 following a very successful seminar held in 1994 to outline some of the exciting discoveries made through excavation in the late 1980s and early 1990s. That column looked at the environment in which the monastic site is located, old drawings and photographs of the site, the extent of the monastic lands held by Clomnacnoise and whether the site could be classified as a monastic town. thee building history and construction of the cathedral were analysed in depth, and some crosses and cross-slabs were discussed. Two papers on the excavations that sparked off the seminar and the series were also given.
This volume does not precisely reflect the seminar proceedings of the 1998, as there papers on the discovery of the ninth-century bridge and the the excavations of the high crosses that are not included here but will appear as separate volume in the Clonmacnoise Studies series within the next few years. It does, however, include a report on the spectacular discovery of the early medieval enclosure during the excavstions carried out on the site of the new reserch and analysis of the sculpture of the Nuns’ Church by Jenifer Ni Ghadaigh, the identification of a seventeenth-century chalice by Gathal G. O Hainal and Gonleth Manning, and some additional nineteenth-century drawings identifed by Peter Harbison have been included.
