A Kress Lecture by Kieran O'Conor, Senior Lecturer, Department of Archaeology, National University of Ireland. This lecture examines (using excavated and fieldwork evidence) the nature of native Irish elite settlement in the period under review and argues that while there was change, continuity from the pre-Norman early medieval period was seen, too.
