The Archaeology Society will be hosting our final lecture of the year this coming Wednesday the 21st of March in room G010 in the Hardiman building. Our speaker will be Dr. William Roulston of the Ulster Historical Foundation and is titled ‘The Scots and Plantation Ulster’. He will be discussing an overview of the Scottish contribution to the Ulster Plantation. A background to the Scottish engagement with Ulster and a review of the documentary materials for studying the settlement of Scots in Ulster will be provided. The talk will also consider the archaeological evidence for the Scots in early seventeenth-century Ulster, focusing on castles/fortified houses, churches and memorials of the dead.
