Scope and Content

Notebook containing archaeological notes, 1887-1894, by D. Griffith Davies relating to Caernarvonshire and Anglesey and to Ireland.
The notes are accompanied by sketches, photographs, plans and rubbings and record details of churches, cathedrals, abbeys, stones, wells, Roman antiquities and other sites and artefacts. Many entries have references to relevant articles in Archaeologia Cambrensis, some accompanied by transcripts. The Irish entries (pp. 95-124) relate mostly to Counties Clare, Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary and were compiled during a trip in August 1891. A few pages of notes relating to Flintshire (pp. 176, 178-9, 181) were compiled for the Cambrian Archaeological Association's 1890 annual meeting. Various items are pasted in, including 12 letters on antiquarian matters, 1887-[1894].
