Tom Condit's editorial, 'Gobbledygook', takes aim at jargon in archaeological writing. Cillíní – the burial grounds used for unbaptised infants and others denied burial in consecrated ground – survive in their thousands across Ireland, and the issue traces their origins; the Tara feature presents the airborne laser (LiDAR) survey of the Hill of Tara.
