Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. x, 116 pages. Illustrations. 240x295mm. Original pictorial card covers with flaps. *"Henry O'Neill is best known as an artist, archaeologist, publisher and polemicist as seen through his various books - The Sculptured Crosses of Ancient Ireland, Ireland for the Irish and The Round Towers of Ireland (Co. Dublin only). But they give a mere inkling of the impressive compendium of work that O'Neill produced throughout a long and active career spanning forty years and more. We find out a lot more through the sketch-books of his that survive, and realise what an incredible amount of travelling and sketching he did through his interest in castles or tower-houses, though he also covered a wide variety of other monuments from prehistoric times almost up to his own day. These sketch-books and note-books have fortunately been preserved in Glenstal Abbey. O'Neill must - along with Petrie, G.V. Du Noyer and W.F. Wakeman - be ranked very highly among Irish antiquarian artists of the late Georgian and Victorian periods, hence the need to restore his reputation in this volume."* A fine copy without any damage, library stamps, inscriptions or other markings.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. xvi, 276 pages + 32 of illustrations. Original pictorial card covers. "Whenever we walk down O'Connell Street or any of Dublin's streets it's tempting to wonder just what secrets were held within the buildings, rooms and halls that line them. In those buildings we find the ghosts of men and women who lived in the years of rebellion. Walking in their steps humanises those who participated in the Rising, and this book attempts to unlock the places that are in plain sight yet remain secret to many passers-by. These streets and buildings make the characters real by associating them with what is still visible before us. This is a book about backstage Dublin as well as 'front-stage' Dublin -- not just the high streets but also the byways and boreens." **This copy is signed by the author on the title-page** A fine copy without any damage, library stamps, inscriptions or other markings.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. lxxxvi, pages : illustrations, maps ; 31 cm. 'As of November 2008, the Celtic Tiger has long left us and there has been a huge downturn in the economy, particularly in the construction industry, which of course has a knock-on effect on archaeological excavation work. This is only slightly reflected in this year's (2007) bulletin, where there is a slight fall in the number of sites reported on, with 2066 summaries in the book. Quite a significant number of these are for sites dug during 2006, the real bumper year, so in reality the number is somewhat smaller. However, for a number of years now there are always a few catch-up summaries from the previous year reported on in each bulletin, so perhaps these sites are not skewing the figures too much. One must also consider the 200 or so sites for which summaries were not received, but then, this figure is also similar to that of last year, so not much change there either. Once again this year there is an interesting range of sites. Some of those that stand out include No. 381, Ballycullen, Co. Down, where a Palaeolithic flint was found. There has been some debate about this find, with a leaning towards the possibility that it came from Scotland, but its discovery is still noteworthy. Still in early prehistory, Mesolithic and Neolithic fish traps were discovered at Spencer Dock, North Wall Quay, Dublin (No. 494). Another excavation that caught the eye was that of post-medieval kilns at Phoenixtown 4, Co. Meath (No. 1370), which may represent a poitín still. This must be the first excavation of such a site (if that is what is was!) We have had relatively recent post offices, forges and dwelling houses excavated in the past, and this year, in No. 1365 Philpotstown 3, also in Co. Meath, we have a school which dates from 18601940. So this bulletin has examples perhaps of the oldest and most recently dated findings from Irish archaeolgy. Another novelty this year is the combination of TV and archaeology with the participation of the Time Team in the excavation of No. 1770, Castle Hill, Dungannon, Co. Tyrone. This is not the first time that the Time Team has excavated sites in Northern Ireland, but certainly is the first in quite a while. Once again this year the distribution and density of excavations is governed by infrastructural development, particularly road schemes. Tipperary has the most sites excavated, at 186 sites (with a further 9 licences issued), followed by Meath with 170 sites (with 6 more licences issued) and Kilkenny, with 164 sites (and 13 further issued). Counties Cork, Dublin and Kildare are not far behind. At the other extreme, Leitrim has the smallest number of sites, 10 excavations, followed by Monaghan, with 11 sites (and one further licence issued) and Longford, with 12 sites. Cavan, Derry and Fermanagh also have very few excavations. Perhaps in 2008, with fewer infrastructural developments starting, there will be a more even distribution of sites around the country.'.…
