‘Mapping the March’ is a major research project selected by the ERC and funded by UKRI. Each semester we invite speakers to present papers on topics related to borders and borderlands in medieval and early modern Europe.
18/11/2024 – ‘A Hippo in the March: An Early Medieval Centre on the Breiddin Hill and its Context in a Frontier Landscape’ by Dr Andy Seaman.
In this seminar, Dr Andy Seaman will present some preliminary results from on-going analysis of the previously unpublished excavations of a unique early medieval site on the Breiddin Hill known as New Pieces. He will also consider the landscape context of the site and its potential relationship to medieval literary traditions.
