Hear about the Excavations at Beaubec in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 25
I always love a good trench-side chat, so I was delighted to be invited to the very last day of Geraldine and Matthew Stout’s excavation of a Cistercian grange, or farm complex, at Beaubec near Drogheda. The site is highly significant, as it revealed a large stone barn giving us unparalleled insights into the workings of a medieval monastic grange. Being located in the Boyne Valley, the dig also inevitably revealed evidence of much earlier farmers, with Neolithic artefacts and a possible pit-circle.
During this episode I had the opportunity to discuss the excavation with Geraldine and Matthew who told us of the site’s significance, we also had a great chat with the McCullen family who own the land and who have played a key role in the excavation. We discuss their interest in the project, and what it’s like to be a landowner with such a significant monument on your land. We also chatted to the brilliant excavation team and specialists and John Sunderland the artist in residence.
I’m so grateful to Geraldine and Matthew, the excavation team and all the contributors, and most especially Grace and John McCullen for their warm hospitality and welcome. As it was the last day of the dig it was all go, so please do forgive any little audio wobbles!
