editor’s note: This section comprises a selection of highlighted projects or discoveries made across Britain and Ireland in 2014, with extended illustrated overviews of results, finds and contexts. The selection each year gives scope to identify findings from (sometimes ongoing) fieldwork (whether excavation, landscape or buildings archaeology) which has regional or national significance in medieval archaeology. Contributors are welcome to offer potential extended summaries (max 2,000 words with short supporting bibliography where appropriate; good quality b&w and/or colour plates and figures, to a maximum of four). Deadline for submissions: 1 March each year. MB&I entries (with illustrations) of traditional format are still required; since 2008, these have been housed and are accessible on the online database and directory hosted by Archaeology Data Service and accessible via the Society’s webpages. Thus the Index listed below uses the numbers to signify the full sequential county and country listings; however, only those numbers in bold refer to entries that appear in print in this volume as Highlights. The searchable database will eventually include all back issues and entries of MB&I. We thank all contributors past, present and future for their efforts, texts and support in maintaining this invaluable source of summaries on annual fieldwork activities and discoveries.
