Today we had the pleasure of launching Medieval Dublin XX, the 20th volume of the proceedings of our symposia. A great occasion to celebrate everyone who made it possible, thanks especially to Four Courts Press, Seán Duffy as editor, the authors, and DCC for their continued support

Rounding us off, we had Lynn Kilgallon and John Marshall talk about two exciting digital projects: Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland and NAISC (Normandy and Ireland Settlement Connections) @virtualtreasury.bsky.social @historytcd.bsky.social

After our final coffee break, Chris Coffey of IAC Archaeology gives the audience an overview of excavations at Hammond lane (an early modern corruption of Hangman’s lane)

Now, Catherine Swift of Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, speaks to a packed out room about the frizzy-haired people of medieval Dublin @unioflimerick.bsky.social

After a break for lunch, Ida La Fratta of IAC Archaeology welcomed us back with an analysis of recent findings from Swords Castle

Next up is Barry Kehoe, to help us to try a situate the lost priory of the Knights Hospitaller at Kilmainham

After a quick coffee break, we have reconvened to hear Samuel Kinirons revisit Viking age burials in Dublin

Next up, Russell Ó Riagáin is re-examining the evidence for ‘Danes’ in medieval Ireland

First up, Antoine Giacometti treated us to a brilliant overview of recent exciting archaeological findings from Viking Ballyfermot

And we’re off!
