I work within and across
the disciplines of Archaeology, Celtic Studies and History, with a
particular interest in the social and economic structure of
pre-industrial rural communities in western Europe and in the ways
those communities used land. Much of my work has involved collaborative
teamwork (as in the AHRB funded Celtic Inscribed Stones Project)
and I am committed to the importance of fieldwork, in research and
teaching. In the past I have often taught English and European medieval
history but in recent years most of my teaching has been on Celtic
subjects.

- (edited, with Paul Fouracre), The Settlement of Disputes in Early Medieval Europe,
- (1986, paperback 1992).Small worlds: the Village Community in Early Medieval Brittany (1988)
