An editorial is presented which discusses the prehistoric use of a cave on Knocknarea Mountain in County Sligo and explore the possible archaeological and taphonomic processes behind the presence of Neolithic human remains there. Importantly, in their discussion of the significance of the evidence they draw attention to the role of caves as a possible important element of funerary practices.

An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses various articles within the issue on topics including conscious use of theory in archaeology; late medieval use of upland landscapes in Derry and Antrim, Northern Ireland; and linear earthwork at Teltown, Colorado.
