  • Susan Hegarty
    Monaghan’s physical landscape: exploiting its natural resources SUSAN HEGARTY Introduction When the author of the Irish Times article in 1863 called Monaghan the ‘Cornwall of Erin’, he may have somewhat embellished reality.1 Indeed, this idea of an industrialised Monaghan may have been merely aspirational, as the landowners of Monaghan began to engage in exploitation of their mineral resources in the nineteenth century. However, it is true to say that the physical landscape of any area is the foundation for any future development – cultural and social. The raw materials of an area shape the historical experience of its economy and society. Therefore, in this chapter we will examine the evolution of the physical landscape of Monaghan, its endowment of raw materials, and how these have been exploited over the years. Even a cursory glance at the basic physical geography of Monaghan (fig. 1) will suffice to note that the county can be broken up into four areas. The northwestern corner of the county contains its highest point, around the Slieve Beagh uplands. To the east and south of this, is located a lowland area composed of limestone, with average heights of 70 metres above sea level. In the centre of the county, south of Monaghan town, the land rises to an average of 160 metres above sea level. Then further south around Carrickmacross, the land falls again, averaging 60 metres above sea level. All of these changes in landscape and elevation are due to the underlying rock types (fig. 2). Glaciation has also had a significant impact on the landscape of Monaghan, with drumlins being one of its most characteristic features.

This process deposited mounds of boulder clay, and dense poorly draining soil in a great tract between Donegal Bay and Strangford Lough. This concentration of small hills, frequently interspersed with lakes, gives a pleasing and ever changing character to the local topography.

  • Covenanting Families - the Clarkes, Mcconnells & Kings: Three County Monaghan Families Who Supported the Ulster Covenant
    Covenanting Families - The Clarkes, McConnells & Kings: Three County Monaghan Families who supported the Ulster Covenant By Brian McConnell June 2, 2012 September 28, 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Ulster Covenant, an auspicious event which according to some news accounts is a cause for celebration. However, if your home was County Monaghan and you signed the Covenant, since the following years witnessed the division of Ireland it turned out not to be the powerful symbol your community had desired. The Ulster Covenant, signed all through the nine counties of the old province of Ulster before or on September 28, 1912, had pledged all men to stand by one another in defending their position in the United Kingdom. There was also a Declaration signed by women. It was signed in Homes, Churches and Assembly Rooms in County Monaghan. Page 2 Joseph Clarke signed the Covenant at Newbliss. His family resided at Newbliss and were members of the Presbyterian Church. The Presbyterian Church in County Monaghan made known its’ support for the union of Ireland with Great Britain by Declaration as early as February 2nd , 1886 stating it should “protest in the strongest manner any measure that has as its object the severance of the union” as referred to by Dr. L. T. Brown in “Shepherding the Monaghan Flock: The Story of First Monaghan Presbyterian Church, 1697 - 1997”, pages 93-94. As a young man Joseph traveled with his father William to Toronto, Canada where many had already moved in the hope of better fortunes. There they obtained a parcel of farmland north of the city.
