  • 1951 Census Down County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch, 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7* 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Irel&nd was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

  • Final Report
    "This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Westley, Kieran & McNeary, Rory (2014) Assessing the impact of coastal erosion on archaeological sites: a case study from Northern Ireland. Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites 16(3): 185-211, which has been published in final form on Maney Online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1179/1350503315Z.00000000082.” Assessing the impact of coastal erosion on archaeological sites: a case study from Northern Ireland Kieran Westley & Rory McNeary (Centre for Maritime Archaeology, University of Ulster, Coleraine) Abstract This paper will present research on the vulnerability mapping of coastal archaeological sites currently being undertaken in Northern Ireland. The ultimate aim of this research is improve current predictions of where archaeological sites and landscapes will be at risk in the future from coastal erosion. The initial stage of this approach uses a suite of oblique aerial photographs to construct a baseline of eroding locations and coastal geomorphology. The erosion baseline can then be integrated with existing historic environment records to obtain a coarse first-pass archaeological vulnerability assessment. Subsequent stages can then use this assessment to prioritize future mitigation such as field surveys or monitoring exercises, or conduct further refinements of vulnerability classifications by incorporating information on site type and positioning on a local scale. Keywords Coastal erosion; vulnerability assessment; aerial photography, GIS, climate change Introduction The destructive impact of coastal erosion on archaeological sites and monuments is a well-recognized and globally documented phenomenon (e.g. Carrasco et al., 2007; Fitzpatrick et al., 2006; Gibson, 2008; Jones et al., 2008). Today’s heritage managers are also faced with the challenge that instances and rates of coastal erosion may increase with future climate change and sea-level rise (IPCC, 2007; Erlandson, 2008; Murphy et al., 2009).
