Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands
PART I — INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Islands attract attention.They sharpen people’s perceptions and create a tension in the landscape. Islands as symbols often create wish-images in the mind, sometimes drawing on the regenerative symbolism of water. This book is not about natural islands, nor is it really about crannogs — these small man-made islands. It is about the people who have used and lived on these crannogs over time.The tradition of island-building seems to have fairly deep roots, perhaps even going back to the Mesolithic, but the traces are not unambiguous.While crannogs in most cases have been understood in utilitarian terms as defended settlements and workshops for the wealthier parts of society, or as fishing platforms, this is not the whole story.I am interested in learning more about them than this.There are many other ways to defend property than to build islands, and there are many easier ways to fish. In this book I would like to explore why island-building made sense to people at different times. I also want to consider how the use of islands affects the way people perceive themselves and their landscape, in line with much contemporary interpretative archaeology,and how people have drawn on the landscape to create and maintain long-term social institutions as well as to bring about change. The book covers a long time-period, from the Mesolithic to the present. However, the geographical scope is narrow. It focuses on the region around Lough Gara in the north-west of Ireland and is built on substantial fieldwork in this area. -
Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance in the REPUBLIC of IRELAND
REPORT on Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance in the REPUBLIC of IRELAND 0 November 1974 I INTRODUCTION Authors of earlier lists of important wetlands in Ireland e.g. Cabot and Ruttledge (1966) and 0 Gorman (1971), had torely largely on their own subjective assessment of the relevant merits of different areas. However, in preparing the report for 1974, it has been possible to operate not onlyon objective criteria laid down by the IWRB and IUCN but alsoon the results of an extensive survey undertaken over the past two yearsas a co-operative effort by the Forest and Wildlife Service of the the Dept. of Lands and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy -of wildfowl and wader numbers in Irish wetlands. For purposes of the attached report for 1974, wildfowl datahave been extracted from an unpublished report by the Irish Wildbird Conservancy; information on plant ecology has been compiled from a field survey carried out by the Forest and WildlifeService (Research Branch) and also from data supplied by An ForasForbartha (The National Institute for Physical Planning and Construction) and from material extracted from various other sources. This report is in two parts. Part 1 relates to wetlands which are regarded as of International importance; Part II lists those which are considered to be of national significance.

MESOLITHIC CHERT EXTRACTION AT LOUGH DERRAVARAGH, COUNTY WESTMEATH by Matthew Parkes and Aimée Little Abstract: There are a number of well known sites in Northern Ireland where stone was extracted by prehistoric communities for tool making, but a chert extraction site at Knockeyon Hill, at the south east end of Lough Derravaragh in County Westmeath has only recently been recognised. This paper focuses on the physical evidence to date of prehistoric quarrying, and the geological setting of the site. Journal of the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland, 9, 2009, 27-30. -
Village Plan 2018 – 2023
COOLE VILLAGE PLAN 2018 – 2023 This Action Plan was part-funded by Westmeath Local Community Development Committee under the Rural Development Programme (LEADER 2014-2020) CONTENTS Page No Explanation of Process 3 Coole 5 Our Vision 6 Our Values 6 Community Engagement and Key Findings 7 Quality of Life Conditions 10 Our Outcomes 11 Detailed Action Projects and Connected Info 12 2 Coole Village Plan 2018 - 2023 EXPLANATION OF PROCESS Blue Moss was commissioned by Westmeath Community Development to undertake an Action Planning Initiative for seven rural towns and villages in County Westmeath, one of which is Coole. This initiative will act in support of the regeneration of these rural towns and villages and will prioritise projects for development in each of the seven areas. Action planning for rural towns and villages has been set out in the LEADER Local Development Strategy for County Westmeath under the sub- theme of Rural Towns. This sub-theme supports the regeneration of rural towns, promoting them as attractive places to visit, live and do business in. This is to be achieved by building on the economic strengths and infrastructure of the area while also addressing the key challenges for business, community and recreation. The process involving all seven villages took place over six months between January and June 2018. Blue Moss used a participatory facilitation process called Outcomes Based Accountability or OBA with all 7 villages; a process that is interactive and aimed at turning words into action. Process Stages: i. Development of a Vision Statement and underpinning values- What is good about living in the village and what would the group like to see in the future? ii. -

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. -
