The Society’s latest Journal, Volume XXX, no. 1 (2021), has now been published. This issue is divided into two parts, the first of which is a celebration of our late colleague, Noel Ross, who edited forty-five issues from 1976 to 2020 and contributed forty-seven articles, thirteen of which were co-authored.

The articles in the journal include one titled ‘A New Field for Noel Ross’ by John McCullen, which is a lengthy overview of the recent excavations by Drs Matt and Geraldine Stout of the medieval Cistercian grange of Beaubec at Bey More.
