Pendine Sands and the remains of the FRANCIS BEDDOE

Pendine Sands and the remains of the FRANCIS BEDDOE

On 21 July 1925, Sir Malcolm Campbell made history at Pendine Sands, hitting a world-1st 150.766mph in Blue Bird.
100 years later, the car returns for a ceremonial start-up.
Pendine’s sands still hold stories: zurl.co/wzBed

Coastal erosion threatening Ireland's ancient forts Climate change is threatening the remains of hundreds of ancient forts dotted around Ireland's coasts, which are vulnerable to coastal erosion.

Great to see @rtenews highlighting how coastal erosion threatens archaeology — including Irish #CHERISH sites!
Well done to our former CHERISH partners for raising awareness of climate & heritage.

Coastal erosion threatening Ireland's ancient forts Climate change is threatening the remains of hundreds of ancient forts dotted around Ireland's coasts, which are vulnerable to coastal erosion.

This morning, Discovery Programme's Maritime Archaeologist Dr Edward Pollard appeared on @rteradio1.bsky.social talking about the impact of erosion on Ireland's coastal archaeology.

Great to hear @news.rte.ie covering the topic of climate change and heritage at risk! @heritagecouncil.ie @nationalmons.bsky.social #CHERISHlegacy

Pleased for having opportunity to talk on the ruins of Clonmines in Co. Wexford yesterday at the Royal Irish Academy seminar on Water, towns and topography. Glad to be able to discuss silting, erosion and traversing the estuary #CHERISHlegacy @discoveryprogramme.bsky.social @heritagecouncil.ie‬‬

Happy St Patrick’s Day from the Discovery Programme!
St Patrick’s Bridge in Co. Wexford is a submerged causeway leading to the Saltee Islands. The area was studied in the CHERISH Project due to coastal erosion #CHERISHlegacy

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘 Holed stones in the landscape are prehistoric in origin, but over time became associated with oath-taking, used by lovers for making promises or getting engaged. We found these holed stones during CHERISH project fieldwork, perhaps used for this purpose #cherishlegacy

Glad to talk on Rosslare Fort today in Belfast at the Irish Post Medieval Archaeology Group conference. It is the 100th anniversary of the abandonment of Rosslare Fort in Wexford this year after the storm on Christmas Eve 1924 turned it into an island #CHERISHlegacy @discoveryprogramme.bsky.social

Happy St Brigid’s Day!
The cult of St Brigid travelled beyond Ireland, including to Wales. In the CHERISH project we collaborated with colleagues in Wales researching sites at risk from climate change, including the lime kiln at St Brides Haven #CHERISHlegacy #RCAHMW @aberuni.bsky.social

CHERISH finished last year but we're continuing to share our findings #cherishlegacy @aberuni.bsky.social @interregeurope.bsky.social

Really great talk from @HGendersBoyd about communicating climate heritage through the work of the @CHERISHproj - we’ve been blown away by the work that’s taken place and think a key to this has been the approach to communication #CHERISHlegacy
