RUBICON ARCHAEOLOGY

Rubicon Archaeology is a commercial archaeology firm delivering heritage services for infrastructure, development and land-use projects across Ireland, the UK and Germany.

Founded in 2000, we bring 26 years of experience to the planning, management and delivery of archaeological work — from early-stage assessment through fieldwork, post-excavation, publication and public value.

We work with developers, contractors, archaeological consultants and project archaeologists, local authorities, government bodies and private clients to manage heritage risk, maintain programme momentum and deliver high-quality outcomes.
