Stories of Loss: The promontory fort & climate change

May 20, 2021

Description

This online lecture, which took place in August 2020, is presented by CHERISH Project archaeologists from the Discovery Programme: Centre for Archaeology and Innovation, Ireland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.

The joint nation CHERISH project investigates climate change impacts on cultural heritage. Promontory Forts, typically understood as an Iron Age phenomenon occur in high concentrations along the Irish and Welsh coastlines. This site type is one of the major archaeological sites most at threat from coastal erosion; as sea levels begin to rise again at an unprecedented rate and accelerated rates of climatic change occur, the CHERISH project is working hard to record and understand the nature and functionality of these sites before climate impacts remove sites and evidence from the archaeological record forever.

Mapping and archaeological investigations range from collection of measured 3D datasets to walkover surveys and excavation. This talk discusses the insights gained from the CHERISH project about Promontory Forts and the different rates of loss occurring along Irish Sea coastlines.
