Tender description

The report as drafted must be suitable for full publication as a monograph in the Northern Ireland Archaeological Monographs series complementing previous publications such as Deer Park Farms, The Excavation of a Raised Rath in the Glenarm Valley (Lynn and McDowell 2011) and Harnessing the Tides (McErlean and Crothers, 2007).
