I completed a PhD in archaeology at the University of Exeter and specialise in castle studies and the archaeology of destruction.

I currently work for Wikimedia UK and previously worked for English Heritage as a Properties Historian. I am also a board member of the Castle Studies Trust, a UK registered charity. I hope to improve content related to the sites the CST is actively involved with. So far this has involved rewriting the articles on:


 * Wressle Castle
 * Tibbers Castle
 * Gleaston Castle
 * and Lowther Castle Stead

A few to create:
 * Ballintober Castle
 * Castle Pulverbatch.
 * Laughton en le Morthen Castle
 * The Wirk

At some point there'll also be updates to: More broadly it would be interesting to tackle other subject to do with medieval society, like literacy in the Middle Ages.
 * Bolingbroke Castle
 * Castell Dinas Bran
 * Caus Castle
 * Clifford Castle
 * Druminnor Castle
 * Fotheringhay Castle
 * Greasley Castle
 * Hoghton Tower
 * Holt Castle
 * Keith Marischal
 * Lathom House
 * Lincoln Castle
 * Pleshey Castle
 * Pembroke Castle
 * Ruthin Castle
 * Shrewsbury Castle
 * Warkworth Castle

I've rewritten the article on Buckton Castle and slighting in the process declared on the respective talk page that I (co-)authored some of the sources cited. I'm pleased as punch the article on Buckton is now a Featured Article.

I also help out the Women's Classical Committee in their work to improve Wikipedia's coverage of female classicists. Check out their project page to see the fantastic work they've been doing!
