Reviews
`This eagerly awaited book is an outstanding and right up-to-date summary of every excavation and investigation undertaken in Ireland ... will be valued by the layperson, student and professional archaeologist, historical geographer and historian alike.' - Archaeology Ireland
`Dr Barry concentrates mainly on the archaeological evidence for medieval settlement for which there is no comprehensive general work available. This is most valuable, indeed essential for anybody wishing to grasp the general pattern of life in medieval Ireland.' - Books Ireland
`The book is as valuable to the historian as it is to the archaeologist or geographer.' - The Irish Herald
