Appendix 10A Northern Ireland Landscape Character Classification A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices APPENDIX 10A NORTHERN IRELAND LANDSCAPE CHARACTER CLASSIFICATION The landscape of the majority of the Proposed Scheme corridor has been documented as part of the Landscape Character Classification for Northern Ireland (2000), produced on behalf of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. The area of classification relative to the Proposed Scheme corridor is illustrated in Volume 2 Fig 10.2, of which twelve sub-regional Landscape Character Areas (LCA’s) have been identified as being of direct relevance to the study area: Derry Slopes (No. 32); Foyle Valley (No.27); Burngibbagh & Drumahoe (No.31); Sperrin Mountains (No.29); Derg Valley (No.20); Bessy Bell & Gortin (No.26); Omagh Farmland (No.22); Slievemore (No.44); Brougher Mountain (No.16); Dungannon Drumlins and Hill (No.45); Clogher Valley Lowlands (No.17); and Blackwater Valley (No.46) The relationship of these LCA’s with the various Landscape Character Zones (LCZ’s) and Sub- Zones (LCSZ’s) defined within the study area (see Appendix 10D) is shown in Table 10B -1. The key elements of each LCA are listed and summarised in Table 10B -2. © Mouchel 2016 A.10A-1 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices Table 10A -1 Landscape Character Assessment and Landscape Character Zones Local Landscape Related Landscape Classification of Landscape Character Sub Zones (LCSZ) Character Zone (LCZ) Northern Ireland LCA’s 1.1 New Buildings and Ballougry Hill 1.2 River Foyle Meander Foyle Valley (No 27) 1 Lower Foyle Valley 1.3 Burn Dennet & Glenmornan River Burngibbagh and Drumahoe (No 31) Valleys Derry Slopes (No. 32) 1.4 Foyle Floodplain 2 Gortmonly Hill 2.1 Gortmonly Hill Burngibbagh and Drumahoe (No 31) 3.1 Binnion and Black Hill 3.2 Cavan & Dromore Hills Foyle Valley (No 27) 3 Lifford Hills 3.3 Croaghan Hill Derg Valley (No 20) 3.4 Southern Lifford Hills 4.1 Knockavoe & Meenshesk Hill Slopes 4.2 Enclosed Mourne River Valley Foyle Valley (No 27) 4 Upper Foyle Valley 4.3 Newtownstewart Floodplain Sperrin Mountains (No 29) 4.4 Owenkillew Valley & Plateau Bogs Derg Valley (No 20) 5 Lower Derg Valley 5.1 Derg Valley Farmland Bessy Bell and Gortin (No 26) 6 Western Sperrins 6.1 Meenashesk Highland Bogs and Forest Sperrin Mountains (No 29) 7.1 Baronscourt Valley 7 Strule Valley & Bessy 7.2 Bessy Bell Bessy Bell and Gortin (No 26) Bell 7.3 Enclosed River Strule Valley 7.4 Sperrins Lower Slopes 8.1 Wooded River Strule Valley 8.2 Fairy Water Drumlins 8 Omagh Drumlin 8.3 Crockavanny Drumlins Omagh Farmland (No 22) Farmlands 8.4 South Omagh Drumlin Farmlands Brougher Mountain (No 16) 8.5 Eskragh Water & Routing Burn Drumlins 9.1 Slievelahan Farmlands 9.2 Crocknatummoge Hillform 9 Brougher & Slievemore 9.3 Garvaghy Valley Brougher Mountain (No 16) Ridgeline 9.4 Beltany & Tullanafoile Farmlands Slievemore (No 44) 9.5 Knockmany Ridgeline 9.6 Ballymackilroy Moraines 10.1 Clogher & Augher Drumlin Farmlands Clogher Valley Lowlands (No 17) 10 Clogher Valley 10.2 Ballygawley & Ballyreagh A4 Corridor Dungannon Drumlins and Hills (No 45) 11.1 Black Hill & Aughnacloy Drumlins Blackwater Valley (No 46) 11 Blackwater Valley 11.2 Blackwater Drumlins Dungannon Drumlins and Hills (No 45) © Mouchel 2016 A.10A-2 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices Local Landscape Related Landscape Classification of Landscape Character Sub Zones (LCSZ) Character Zone (LCZ) Northern Ireland LCA’s 11.3 Favour Royal Forest 12 Branny Hill 12.1 Branny Hill Dungannon Drumlins and Hills (No 45) U1 Strabane & Lifford U2 Sion Mills Urban Areas U3 Newtownstewart - U4 Omagh U5 Aughnacloy © Mouchel 2016 A.10A-3 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices Table 10A -2 Landscape Character Summary Information LCA Boundary Typical Descriptors Derry Slopes (No.32) Smooth rounded hill tops with undulating lower slopes.

Attractive stone bridges Burngibbagh & Drumahoe (No.31) Linear valley running along a NE-SW alignment. Valley has a flat floor and is enclosed by broad, rounded ridges. Hedgerows enclose pastures and form strong, geometric field patterns on the hill slopes, with small areas of open moorland capping some summits. Pylons are an intrusive landscape element, particularly to the north. Built development concentrated in centre of valley, near Drumahoe on the fringe of Londonderry. © Mouchel 2016 A.10A-4 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices LCA Boundary Typical Descriptors Sperrin Mountains (No.29) Broad, rounded ridges with rocky outcrops leading to steep, pointed summits. Deep, branching gullies and open, fast-flowing moorland streams. Extensive open moorland pasture and heather with bog/ areas of damp grassland across lower slopes. Earthbanks and stone walls follow historic townland boundaries on lower slopes; some pastures are neglected and populated by scrub and rushes. Mixture of winding moorland roads and straight tracks Broadleaf woodland concentrated within lower valleys, some conifer woodland on mountain slopes. Isolated barns on upper slopes and farmsteads in valleys. Derg Valley (No.20) Pasture on gently rolling lower valley slopes and across river floodplain. Meandering river, sometimes enclosed by levees. Extensive patches of peaty marsh and scrubby fen woodland at confluences with minor streams. Areas with small, poorly-drained fields are often juxtaposed against larger, rolling pastures; fields enclosed by both stone walls and hedgerows. Straight, embanked roads and stone bridges on floodplain, winding, narrow lanes on lower valley slopes; Farms and cottages scattered along roads; larger settlements concentrated at principal bridge crossings. Bessy Bell & Gortin (No.26) Scenic landscape on the western fringes of the Sperrin Hills; higher summit of Mullaghcarn to east and rounded moorland summit of Bessy Bell to west.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper the Plantation
    Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper The Plantation of Ulster and the creation of the county of Londonderry On the 28th January 1610 articles of agreement were signed between the City of London and James I, king of England and Scotland, for the colonisation of an area in the province of Ulster which was to become the county of Londonderry. This agreement modified the original plan for the Plantation of Ulster which had been drawn up in 1609. The area now to be allocated to the City of London included the then county of Coleraine,1 the barony of Loughinsholin in the then county of Tyrone, the existing town at Derry2 with adjacent land in county Donegal, and a portion of land on the county Antrim side of the Bann surrounding the existing town at Coleraine. The Londoners did not receive their formal grant from the Crown until 1613 when the new county was given the name Londonderry and the historic site at Derry was also renamed Londonderry – a name that is still causing controversy today.3 The baronies within the new county were: 1. Tirkeeran, an area to the east of the Foyle river which included the Faughan valley. 2. Keenaght, an area which included the valley of the river Roe and the lowlands at its mouth along Lough Foyle, including Magilligan. 3. Coleraine, an area which included the western side of the lower Bann valley as far west as Dunboe and Ringsend and stretching southwards from the north coast through Macosquin, Aghadowey, and Garvagh to near Kilrea. 4. Loughinsholin, formerly an area in county Tyrone, situated between the Sperrin mountains in the west and the river Bann and Lough Neagh on the east, and stretching southwards from around Kilrea through Maghera, Magherafelt and Moneymore to the river Ballinderry.
