Biography:
I graduated from University College Dublin in 1988 with a BA (Hons) in Archaeology and Geography and worked on a number of wetland and urban archaeological projects before joining the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (IAWU) in UCD when it was established in 1990. I became Acting Director in 1996 and subsequently Director from 1998-2005. During my time with the IAWU I was involved in the survey of 3,500 sites and participated in and directed a number of important excavations and consultations. These include Clonfinlough Late Bronze Age settlement site, Co. Offaly, crannogs at Bofeenaun and Frenchgrove, Co. Mayo and Derryville Bog, Co. Tipperary. In August 2005 I joined the UCD School of Archaeology as Laboratory and Field Officer specialising in excavation and post-excavation work as well as participating in and directing research projects. I also act as consultant on wetland archaeology and woodworking to a number commercial and research projects including excavations at Killoteran Mill, Co. Waterford (ACS), Edercloon wetland complex, Co. Longford (CRDS), Derragh Mesolithic Excavations (Discovery Programme) and a range of other projects and sites.

Research Interests
| My main research interests focus on wetland landscapes and chronology, waterlogged wood and wood working, archaeological recording, publishing and illustration. I am also interested in the principles and practice of Archaeology with particular reference to methodologies and objectives of surveys and excavation. As part of my role within the School I contribute to the management of existing research projects such as the publication of excavations at Ballyglass and Behy court tombs, Co. Mayo and the Rath of the Synods at Tara, Co. Meath. I also participate in the design and management of new research projects undertaken by other members of staff and in securing funding for research proposals. Current Research Project Details:
