The site is located in the Townland of Cornaher, at Chainage 34740 (N.G.R 238702/234649). 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND Valerie J. Keeley Ltd. was appointed to undertake the resolution of 59 archaeological sites identified as a result of archaeological test trenching carried out by Conor McDermot of the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit under licence (ref.: 04E0879) on behalf of C.R.D.S. Ltd. (O’Connor et al 2004). 3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1 Geographical The site was located within an area of relatively flat bogland around which were a number of medium to large sized steep glacial drumlins and eskers. The site itself was situated on a slightly higher piece of ground and was consequently not as boggy. 3.2 Environmental The site is situated on the edge of a partially wetlands area. Much of the surrounding land has deep modern cut drainage ditches running throughout in an attempt to make the land agriculturally viable, but only with regards to livestock farming. 1 N6 Kilbeggan to Kinnegad Preliminary & Final Report Cornaher 3.2 E2727 A001/042 Liam Mckinstry 3.3 Cultural The Townland of Cornaher was situated within the parish of Newtown and was also part of the barony of Moycashel. It is known in Irish as Cór an Aithir translated as ‘fathers division’ or Cor Na hIthire meaning ‘a division of arable land The Townland was listed in the Civil Survey of Ireland, 1654-6 (R.C. Simmington, 1953). The historical evidence seems to indicate that the Townland, or at least the name of the Townland, would date from the post medieval period at the earliest. Possibly the wetland nature of most of the county would discourage intensive occupation on anything other than high ground until land drainage became a practicable option in the 17th or 18th centuries. In 1837 it contained c.666 acres part of which was of bog, arable and tillage land. Cornaher demesne is located to the north with Cornaher house (O’Donovan, 1837). A battle is said to have taken place at Cornaher in 468AD between the O’Dooleys the ruling clan of Fartullagh in the fifth century, and the decendents of Niall of the Nine hostages and the ruling Kings of Leinster (Egan,Oliver, 1986). There are no archaeological sites recorded in the Record of Monuments and Places for this townland and no archaeological finds recovered. However recent archaeological work carried out by the IAWU has uncovered a total of eight archaeological sites in part of Toar bog within this townland. They have been classified as pieces of worked or unworked wood in situ. “These site types consist of less than ten pieces of wood which show evidence of having been worked or placed in the bog but have no apparent function” (McDermott C. IAWU, 2000). They are of unknown date. Two areas of archaeological potential were identified in the line of the N6 proposed route. They include an area of forestry (field 285) and the area around Cornaher Lough (field 271). A vernacular building (CHS 94) was also identified within the roadtake and is marked on the first edition OS map, 1837.There are also five other buildings marked on the first edition map, which the road may pass over and are located in field nos. 284 and 285 at chainage 26400.000. (Extracts of Historical Background in CRDS tesing report 2004- After Orlaith Eagan 2004) The site at the time of excavation had no known culturally important features associated with it. 2 N6 Kilbeggan to Kinnegad Preliminary & Final Report Cornaher 3.2 E2727 A001/042 Liam Mckinstry 4.0 THE EXCAVATION The site was cleared by hand and all possible features of note were excavated. None of these features however proved to be archaeological in nature they all proved to be layers of residual peat or modern agricultural disturbance. 5.0 THE ARTEFACTUAL ASSEMBLAGE No artefacts were recovered. 6.0 THE AERIAL SURVEY There was no aerial survey carried out for this site. 7.0 DISCUSSION The site was non archaeological in nature. 8.0 ONGOING WORK FOR THE FINAL REPORT The site has been resolved and no further work will be required. This report constitutes both the preliminary and final report for this site. 3 N6 Kilbeggan to Kinnegad Preliminary & Final Report Cornaher 3.2 E2727 A001/042 Liam Mckinstry 9.0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The following people worked on the excavation of this site.

  • What Kind of Irish Was Spoken in Westmeath?

    What Kind of Irish Was Spoken in Westmeath?

    What kind of Irish was spoken in Westmeath? AENGUS FINNEGAN By the time of the Gaelic Revival at the end of the 19th century, the Irish language as a vernacular had largely disappeared across Leinster. The small extent of the language which remained was probably confined to the most remote and out-of-the-way townlands, and scattered among a generation who had been largely forgotten by the outside world – with the possible exception of a small part of Co. Louth. It is no wonder, then, that it is primarily to the north, west and southwest areas of Ireland that scholars of the language in all its varying forms have since directed their attention. It is in these regions that the language continued to be spoKen into the 20th century, and indeed continues to be spoKen, though much less extensively than heretofore. This focus, however understandable, has left a large gap in our understanding of the historical distribution of the dialects of Irish across the eastern half of the country. The only means of filling this gap is to carry out a detailed study of the scant remains of the language, as found in word lists, folKlore collections, the later manuscript tradition (if available), everyday speech, and, last but by no means least, in placenames, including both townland and minor names. The great advantage of evidence from placenames to the historial dialectologist is the universal distribution of the placenames themselves. This means that aspects of the language which come to light in the placenames of one area can safely and easily be compared with developments in another.

    The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers

    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

    Abstract Potent Legacies: the Transformation of Irish

    ABSTRACT POTENT LEGACIES: THE TRANSFORMATION OF IRISH AMERICAN POLITICS, 1815-1840 Mathieu W. Billings, Ph.D. Department of History Northern Illinois University, 2016 Sean Farrell, Director This dissertation explores what “politics” meant to Irish and Irish American Catholic laborers between 1815 and 1840. Historians have long remembered emigrants of the Emerald Isle for their political acumen during the 19th century—principally their skills in winning municipal office and mastering “machine” politics. They have not agreed, however, about when, where, and how the Irish achieved such mastery. Many scholars have argued that they obtained their political educations in Ireland under the tutelage of Daniel O’Connell, whose mass movement in the 1820s brought about Catholic Emancipation. Others have claimed that, for emigrant laborers in particular, their educations came later, after the Famine years of the late 1840s, and that they earned them primarily in the United States. In this dissertation, I address this essential discrepancy by studying their experiences in both Ireland and America. Primarily utilizing court records, state documents, company letters, and newspapers, I argue that Irish Catholic laborers began their educations in Ireland before emigrating in the late 1820s and early 1830s. Yet they completed them in America, particularly in states where liberal suffrage requirements permitted them to put their skills in majority rule to use. By 1840, both Whigs and Democrats alike recognized the political intellects of Irish-born laborers, and both vigorously courted their votes. Indeed, the potent legacies of their experiences in Ireland made many the unsung power brokers of the early republic.

There was a great atmosphere throughout the event and a great sense of community spirit. A successful raffle and an auction were conducted afterwards while participants enjoyed some refreshments. A massive thank you to all Tractor Run participants, the lead bikers, our assisting teachers, people who prepared food, sponsors, and to anyone who contributed or assisted in any way with the facilitation of this memorable day. Almost €7000 was raised, with all proceeds going directly to our new school. NEW SCHOOL Full Planning Permission for our new state of the art 650 pupil school was granted on Monday April 8th 2019. The tender process for this development will now begin immediately, with construction hopefully beginning sometime in early 2020. Exciting times lie ahead.
