Index 1986-2019 by Tom Norton MA Index 1986-2019 by Tom Norton MA September 2019 1 Index to Co. Roscommon Historical and Archaeological Society Journal, 1986-20191 Tom Norton (Tom Norton was born in Roscommon Town and lived on Claw Inch island on Lough Ree until the late 1940s. Later, he went to school in Galway. He now works in Hampshire, England, as a freelance indexer and English teacher). The definite and indefinite articles are ignored in the alphabetical arrangement but are not inverted. For example, ‘The Famine’ will be found under ‘F’. The form of reference is volume number, followed by the page number. For example, ‘7.13’ is a reference to volume number 7, page 13. Volume/year numbers are as follows: 1=1986, 2=1988, 3=1990, 4=1992, 5=1994, 6=1996, 7=1998, 8=2000, 9=2002, 10=2006, 11=2009, 12=20132, 13=2016, 14=2019 1798 Rising and Col James Plunkett 7.100–1 memoirs 7.112–13 souvenir jewellery, advertisement, 1898: 7.13 Acheson, George R., photo 14.5 advertisements cornflour (1916) 13.156 farmhouse (1903) 9.118 Ford car (1916) 13.154 oil lamps (1916) 13.153 patent medicines (1890s) 7.36 patent medicines (1916) 13.152 servants encouraged to enlist (1915) 13.71 souvenir jewellery (1898) 7.13 agrarian violence ‘Agrarian violence in Kilbride & Kilgefin 1843-1844 13.43–5 Land League, and agrarian crime 9.59–61 land wars 12.51–60 ‘Roscommon Agrarian Unrest 1881-82’ 12.35–8 1 Copies of this index are freely available in electronic form from [email protected] 2 The volume number is not printed on the cover of this issue. 2 agricultural labourers, Co Roscommon 11.19–21 American Civil War, Irish soldiers, photo 14.164 An Coiméadaí, ‘A Cashel Plotted on Map in 1813’ 5.77 Anderson, Audrey, ‘The Old Barracks, Roscommon’ 3.21–3 Andrews, Sara, ‘Yesterday’ (memoir) 4.74 Anglo-Irish lordships, 15th century, map 5.35 archaeological survey, Roscommon Co. 2.63 archaeology, Ballaghaderreen Bypass road project 13.81–7 Ardakillen lake, crannog 1.53 Ardcarne 7.55–7 and the Famine 6.91–4 Arigna coal mining 10.90 culm, as domestic fuel 10.137–9 arms, search for, 19th century 6.97 ass, in car, photo 8.15 Athleague N.S., teacher training course (1923), photo 12.63 N.S.

Its principle aim is to engage with recent revisionist accounts of the various dynasties within the Uí Néill; these necessitate a radical reappraisal of our understanding of their origins and genesis as a dynastic confederacy, as well as the geo-political landsape of the central midlands. Consequently, this paper argues that there is a pressing need to address such issues via more focused analyses of local kingdoms and political landscapes. Holistic understandings of polities like Luigne Breg are fundamental to framing new analyses of the genesis of the Uí Néill based upon interdisciplinary assessments of landscape, archaeology and documentary sources. In the latter part of the paper, an attempt is made to to initiate a wider discussion regarding the nature of kingdoms and collective identities in early medieval Ireland in relation to other other regions of northwestern Europe.

  • Stories from Early Irish History
    1 ^EUNIVERJ//, ^:IOS- =s & oo 30 r>ETRr>p'S LAMENT. A Land of Heroes Stories from Early Irish History BY W. LORCAN O'BYRNE WITH SIX ILLUSTRATIONS BY JOHN E. BACON BLACKIE AND SON LIMITED LONDON GLASGOW AND DUBLIN n.-a INTEODUCTION. Who the authors of these Tales were is unknown. It is generally accepted that what we now possess is the growth of family or tribal histories, which, from being transmitted down, from generation to generation, give us fair accounts of actual events. The Tales that are here given are only a few out of very many hundreds embedded in the vast quantity of Old Gaelic manuscripts hidden away in the libraries of nearly all the countries of Europe, as well as those that are treasured in the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College, Dublin. An idea of the extent of these manuscripts may be gained by the statement of one, who perhaps had the fullest knowledge of them the late Professor O'Curry, in which he says that the portion of them (so far as they have been examined) relating to His- torical Tales would extend to upwards of 4000 pages of large size. This great mass is nearly all untrans- lated, but all the Tales that are given in this volume have already appeared in English, either in The Publications of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language] the poetical versions of The IV A LAND OF HEROES.

  • Personhood of Water Depositions of Bodies and Things in Water Contexts As a Way of Observing Agential Relationships
    Personhood of Water Depositions of Bodies and Things in Water Contexts as a Way of Observing Agential Relationships Christina Fredengren Abstract This paper stems from a curiosity about relationships between water, depositions, life, death and sacrifice. It probes into how traditional binaries such as nature/culture, human/ animal, alive/dead and language/reality were addressed in Irish medieval place lore, using critical posthumanist theory to explore ways in which agential powers were not merely as- cribed to the environment, but also observed and acknowledged by people in the past. It also considers how the agentialities of both artefacts and waters could have affected and made their way into human storytelling. In so doing, the paper presents a contribution from ar- chaeology to the emerging field of environmental humanities, offering research that could entice us to sharpen our environmental sensibilities and respond to environmental change. Depositions of things and bodies in wet contexts are often understood as sacrifices made to deities located in the otherworld. However, there is plentiful evidence in archaeology and in medieval place-lore to suggest that waters were observed as being alive, as immanent beings, as more-than-human persons who could have received these depositions as gifts. This study explores how depositions would have added to and reconfigured such water- personhood in locally and regionally situated ways, and how they may also have worked as apparatuses for paying close attention to the water environment. Keywords: materiality, rivers, lakes, wetlands, ontology, human-animal relations, sacri- fice, gender, more-than-human agency, environmental humanities Archaeological Research Laboratory, Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University Email: [email protected] CURRENT SWEDISH ARCHAEOLOGY VOL.

  • Committee 1 Roscommon That the Revised Local Electoral Boundary Shall Ensure That In
    18.331 Local Electoral Area Boundary Committees - Committee 1 Roscommon That the revised local electoral boundary shall ensure that in the case of Roscommon that a local electoral area shall be designed around the urban centre of Roscommon County Town and encompass the surrounding villages and rural hinterland thus taking account of local and community identities and linkages. Please see attached a map showing Roscommon County Town and its radius of linkage. These linkages include shopping, services including doctors and dentists, Garda Station, hospital, local schools, after school activities, sports, Library. At present people in the surrounding areas of Athleague DED, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Kilbegnet and Donamon continue to frequent Roscommon Town for all of the above. However they do not have ease of access to their Municipal District Office. The Roscommon Municipal District is a few minutes drive away however the Athlone Municipal District office is 40 minutes drive away. No other area in the County is so removed from an area office which is ironic considering it is just minutes from the Roscommon Municipal district. The Roscommon MD has an area office in Roscommon and Castlerea. The Boyle MD has an area office in Boyle and Ballaghaderren and Strokestown. And the Athlone MD has one area office in Monksland. The structure is not servicing the people of Athleague, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Rosmoylan and Donamon. The simple solution is to reconnect them electorally with their local town, the County Town, Roscommon.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS 692 DOCUMENT NO. W.S. Witness James Quigley, Sandpark, Tulsk, Co. Roscommon. Identity. Member of Irish Volunteers, South Roscommon, O/C. 2nd Battalion south Roscommon Brigade, 1918 Subject. National activities, South 1917-1921. Conditions, ii any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.2000 FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF MR. QUTGLEY Sandpark Tulsk, Co. Roscommon. I was born at Rathconnor Four Mile House, Co. Roscommon and went to School in Carnalasson Schools and later to Farraher Christian Brothers Schools. My father was associated with the Fenian Movement hut it was not through him I inherited my rebel tendencies as he tried to impress on me to have nothing to do with such movements. It was through my association with the G.A.A. that I became interested in the Independence Movement. In travelling around to Football Matches I met and listened to the talk of many of the men who afterwards became prominent in the Movement. Though my football associations I got to know Liam Mellows. In 1916 during the period of the Rebellion our house was raided and searched by Police and Soldiers. I cannot say why this was done. Perhaps my association with some of the men who took part in the Rebellion through Football led them to believe I was also mixed up in it or it may have been on account of my father's Fenian association. I decided then that as I had the name I might as well have the gains. "Joining the Irish Volunteers".
