Climate Change and Coastal Heritage in Wales and Ireland: Looking back on the EU-funded CHERISH Project

with guest speaker Dr Toby Driver, Royal Commission, Wales.


Event details

Synopsis. The EU-funded CHERISH Project ran from 2017-2023 and was a partnership between the Royal Commission, Wales, Aberystwyth University, the Discovery Programme Ireland and the Geological Survey of Ireland. Its ambitious remit was to establish new data standards and recording methods for threatened coastal heritage both on land and under the sea, in Wales and Ireland. By deploying the CHERISH toolkit approach, the project pushed the boundaries of baseline documentation, coast-edge survey and interdisciplinary recording between archaeologists, geographers and marine specialists: https://cherishproject.eu/en/

He was one of the archaeologists on the six-year EU-funded Ireland-Wales CHERISH project and recently published his tenth book on ‘The Hillforts of Iron Age Wales’.
