  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin Is a Farm at the Head of the Cleugh of Doon Above Carsluith
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin is a farm at the head of the Cleugh of Doon above Carsluith. There is a Daffin Tree marked on the 1st edition OS map at Killochy in Balmaclellan parish, and Daffin Hill in this location on current OS maps, across the Dee from Kenmure Castle; Castle Daffin is a hill in Parton parish and a house by Auchencairn. This is likely to be Gaelic *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’. Peighinn is ‘a penny’, but in place-names it refers to a unit of land, based on yield rather than area. It probably originated in the Gaelic-Norse context of Argyll and the southern Hebrides, and was introduced into the south-west by the Gall- Ghàidheil (see Ardwell above). It occurs in place-names in Galloway and, especially, Carrick as ‘Pin- ‘ as first element, ‘-fin’ with ‘softened ‘ph’ after a numeral or other pre-positioned adjective. Originally a pennyland was a relatively small division of a davoch (dabhach, see Cullendoch above), but in the south-west places whose names contain this element appear in mediaeval records as holdings of relatively substantial landowners, comprising good extents of pasture, meadow and woodland as well as the arable core, and yielding much higher taxes than the pennylands further north. Indeed, peighinn may have come to be used more generally in the region for a fairly substantial estate without implying a specific valuation. *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’ would, then, have been a large and productive landholding. However, a Scots origin is also possible, or if the origin was Gaelic, reinterpretation by Scots speakers is possible: daffin or daffen is a Scots word for ‘daffodil’, but as a verb, daffin(g) is ‘playing daft, larking about’.

  • Gloucestershire Castles
    Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle Gloucestershire Castles The first castles in Gloucestershire were built soon after the Norman invasion of 1066. After the Battle of Hastings, the Normans had an urgent need to consolidate the land they had conquered and at the same time provide a secure political and military base to control the country. Castles were an ideal way to do this as not only did they secure newly won lands in military terms (acting as bases for troops and supply bases), they also served as a visible reminder to the local population of the ever-present power and threat of force of their new overlords. Early castles were usually one of three types; a ringwork, a motte or a motte & bailey; A Ringwork was a simple oval or circular earthwork formed of a ditch and bank. A motte was an artificially raised earthwork (made by piling up turf and soil) with a flat top on which was built a wooden tower or ‘keep’ and a protective palisade. A motte & bailey was a combination of a motte with a bailey or walled enclosure that usually but not always enclosed the motte. The keep was the strongest and securest part of a castle and was usually the main place of residence of the lord of the castle, although this changed over time. The name has a complex origin and stems from the Middle English term ‘kype’, meaning basket or cask, after the structure of the early keeps (which resembled tubes). The name ‘keep’ was only used from the 1500s onwards and the contemporary medieval term was ‘donjon’ (an apparent French corruption of the Latin dominarium) although turris, turris castri or magna turris (tower, castle tower and great tower respectively) were also used.

Catskill Mountains The course that the water follows is determined by the landscape. A watershed is an area of land that drains into a body of water. Its boundaries are the highest points of land around the body of water. Through studying the heights and slopes around a given river, one can show from what area the river will get its water. 7. Hudson watershed map A large part of eastern New York State lies in the watershed of the Hudson River. The Hudson river watershed also includes parts of New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. The water in all of the streams that flow through this area eventually ends up in the Hudson river. Streams that flow into a larger river or body of water are called tributaries. 8.

RPS ASA, SEAConsult LLC, and Risknology, Inc., were all subcontractors to ERC under separate contracts. The HROSRA research team acknowledges the invaluable inputs and discussions with Scenic Hudson over the course of the study period (September 2017 through May 2018), including the selection and development of the hypothetical spill scenarios. The contents of the report, data, analyses, findings, and conclusions are solely the responsibility of the research team and do not constitute any official position by Scenic Hudson. The Hudson River Oil Spill Risk Assessment was conducted as an independent, objective, technical analysis without any particular agenda or viewpoint except to provide quantitative and qualitative information that could be used to work to a common goal of spill prevention and preparedness. The study is intended to inform officials, decision-makers, stakeholders, and the general public about oil spill risk in the Hudson River. The diligent efforts of the RPS SIMAP modeling team of Jenna Ducharme, Matt Frediani, Deborah Crowley, Emily Skeehan, and Matt Bernardo provided the necessary data, results, maps, and graphics that formed the foundation of much of the analysis in the HROSRA.

  • Drawbridge, Portcullis, Battlements, Moat, Gatehouse, Curtain Wall, Tower, Arrow Slits
    Otter Class 8.6.20 Hello Otter Class! I hope you have had a nice week. I can’t believe it is June already! We have a brand new topic..Castles! Here are some ideas to start you off on our new topic! 1) Make a list of everything you know about castles. What were theyfor? Who lived in castles? Do you know the names of any famous castles? 2) Write some questions. What do you want to find out about castles? Remember all your special question words (who/why/when etc) and don’t forget your question mark... 3) Word challenge...what do these words mean? Drawbridge, portcullis, battlements, moat, gatehouse, curtain wall, tower, arrow slits... You could look in a book or search on the internet. You could write a definition for each word (what it means) to make a castle word glossary (a tricky word list) You could even draw a picture to go with each word or print one out. You might discover some other castle words too! 4) Design your own castle and draw a picture. Label it with some of the words from above. What is your castle called? Who lives in it? You could even make a model of your castle. You could use recycled materials or Lego or think of a different way to make your model. These castles might give you some ideas when you design your own! 1) Reading ideas Remember to keep on reading! It could be a story or non fiction book about minibeast or anything you like! You could do some cooking with your grown up and help read the recipe/instructions.
