Years in Jerusalem
Hennessy's completion of his doctorate coincided with the beginning of an intimate association with the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem. Appointed Assistant Director of the School in 1965, becoming Deputy Director later the same year, Hennessy achieved the full directorship in 1966, remaining as Director until 1970. During these years, Hennessy directed excavations at the Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem (1964-66), at the Amman Airport Temple (1966), at Teleilat Ghassul (1967) and at Samaria in 1968.

“And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?”
