Photograph of a chambered tomb surrounded by grass and trees, taken on a damp grey day.. The stones are dark grey but once thrown with turf and moss. Stones have been robbed from the site leaving mostly just upright slabs. The capstone of one chamber remains.

Back from two days of work at Haylie Chambered Cain in Largs, North Ayrshire.

Cleaning vegetation to make way for a few fence and path, and some recording ahead of further work next year.

Lovely Christmas treat to get to work on a Neolithic site by the sea, even if the weather was a bit grim 🌧

Thank you!!

A bright green congratulations card with two speech bubbles. The first reads “is it miss or mrs?” The second says “it’s Dr Actually”.

Very pleased to say I passed my viva yesterday with minor corrections 🥳 thanks to my examiners Josh Pollard and Chantal Conneller for making it such a positive experience and my supervisors Chris Fowler, Lisa-Marie Shillito and Janet Montgomery for all their support!

A view over the hills of Northumberland National Park. There is a blue sky with sunlight falling on distant hills. In the foreground are two stone banks, the remains of a hillfort.

A day off hike in Northumberland National Park and accidental discovery of the gorgeous Breamish Valley Hillfort Trail

A quiet day without the school group on site but lots of interest from some of the other locals…

Kicking off my attempt at posting over here with a view from our site at Ochiltree ☀️
