“…A wider corpus of non-domestic structures from ritual sites and funerary contexts can be identified elsewhere, with a notable concentration in the third to eighth centuries AD, a period where specialist non-Christian religious architecture is now readily identified elsewhere in northwest Europe (Carver 2015;Fabech and Näsman 2013). At Marlhill, Tipperary, a rectangular slot-trench described a structure of the sixth or seventh centuries AD, with two large entrances/exits in the north and south sides, cut into an Iron Age ring barrow and enclosed in the southeast quadrant of a large circular enclosure (Fig.…”

It is no doubt a somewhat hackneyed trope to suggest that archaeology, its imperatives, and wider thematic concerns, remain subordinated to historical analyses, both in Ireland and elsewhere.

As such, the subordination of archaeological
