Research Focus
PhD: Polity and landscape in southern Ulster, AD 400-1200
A landscape based analysis, primarily conducted through the interrogation of the relationships between archaeological and toponymic data, of the ways in which communities in southern Ulster construct space, as a means of exploring the developments of socio-economic dynamics in early medieval Ireland.
Research Interests
My research interests are primarily focused around interdisciplinary approaches to exploring past social structures through linguistics, history, and archaeology, particularly in Ireland, the Insular world and North-west Europe. I am also interested in developing methods for the spatial analysis of Irish placenames, through statistical methods.
