The-Townlans-Of-South-Armagh.Pdf Ta thart fa 60,000 baile fearainn in Eirinn agus thart fa 200 acu in Ard Mhacha Theas. Is foinse staire iad na bailte fearainn, stair a chuimsionn miotaiseolaiocht na hEireann - an Tain Bo Cuailgne, CU Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhail - chomh maith Ie re na Criostaiochta. Ach seachas aon rud eile, is stor eolais iad don teanga Gaeilge a bhi a labhairt go coitianta ag an phobal suas go dti na 1920i i gceantair mar Dhroim an Ti, Cill Shleibhe agus an Mullach Ban. Ta suil agam go mbainfidh daoine suit as an leabhran seo, idir foghlaimeoiri na Gaeilge agus daoine a bhfuil speis acu i stair an cheantair, agus go gcuirfjdh se Ie tuiscint agus Ie coimeadu oidhreacht ar mbailte fearainn. There are about 60,000 townlands in Ireland and about 200 of them in South Armagh. The townlands are an historical source that encompasses the mythology of Ireland - the Cattle Raid of Cooley, CU Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhail - as well as the early Christian period. But above all else they are the repository of the Irish language which was spoken widely by the people up to the 1920's in areas like Dromimee, Killeavy and Mullaghbane. I hope people enjoy this booklet, whether learners of the language or those interested in the history of the area, and that it might help in the understanding and in the preserva- tion of our townland heritage.
