  • The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People
    The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People Eoin Swithin Walsh B.A. University College Dublin College of Arts and Celtic Studies This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the Master of Arts in History July 2015 Head of School: Dr Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin Supervisor of Research: Professor Diarmaid Ferriter P a g e | 2 Abstract The array of publications relating to the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) has, generally speaking, neglected the contributions of less active counties. As a consequence, the histories of these counties regarding this important period have sometimes been forgotten. With the recent introduction of new source material, it is now an opportune time to explore the contributions of the less active counties, to present a more layered view of this important period of Irish history. County Kilkenny is one such example of these overlooked counties, a circumstance this dissertation seeks to rectify. To gain a sense of the contemporary perspective, the first two decades of the twentieth century in Kilkenny will be investigated. Significant events that occurred in the county during the period, including the Royal Visit of 1904 and the 1917 Kilkenny City By-Election, will be examined. Kilkenny’s IRA Military campaign during the War of Independence will be inspected in detail, highlighting the major confrontations with Crown Forces, while also appraising the corresponding successes and failures throughout the county. The Kilkenny Republican efforts to instigate a ‘counter-state’ to subvert British Government authority will be analysed. In the political sphere, this will focus on the role of Local Government, while the administration of the Republican Courts and the Republican Police Force will also be examined.

  • The Archaeological Record of the Cistercians in Ireland, 1142-1541
    THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CISTERCIANS IN IRELAND, 1142-1541 written by SIMON HAYTER October 2013 Abstract In the twelfth century the Christian Church experienced a revolution in its religious organisation and many new monastic Orders were founded. The Cistercian Order spread rapidly throughout Europe and when they arrived in Ireland they brought a new style of monasticism, land management and architecture. The Cistercian abbey had an ordered layout arranged around a cloister and their order and commonality was in sharp contrast to the informal arrangement of the earlier Irish monasteries. The Cistercian Order expected that each abbey must be self-sufficient and, wherever possible, be geographically remote. Their self-sufficiency depended on their land- holdings being divided into monastic farms, known as granges, which were managed by Cisterci and worked by agricultural labourers. This scheme of land management had been pioneered on the Continent but it was new to Ireland and the socio-economic impact on medieval Ireland was significant. Today the surviving Cistercian abbeys are attractive ruins but beyond the abbey complex and within the wider environment they are nearly invisible. Medieval monastic archaeology in Ireland, which in modern terms began in the 1950s, concentrated almost exclusively on the abbey complex. The dispersed monastic land-holdings, grange complexes and settlement patterns have been almost totally ignored. This report discusses the archaeological record produced through excavations of Cistercian sites, combined

    The Place-Names of County Kilkenny Acknowledgement The Kilkenny Archaeological Society is grateful to Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly for permission to re-issue this book. Notice On mature reflection the Commitee of the Society has decided to change the title of Owen O ’Kelly’s book from A History of County Kilkenny to The Place-Names of the County of Kilkenny. The new title is thought more exactly to describe the book. An alphabetical index has been added. Within the new material, Owen O ’Kelly’s book is reproduced complete and unaltered. The map on the cover (also reproduced inside) is made from a Grand Jury map. The Grand Juries were the forerunners of the County Councils. They commissioned maps which are now extremely rare. The Grand Jury maps predate the first edition of the Ordnance Survey maps and are of great interest because of the different spellings of place names. Thus they can be used to locate changes that have occurred. The Place-Names of the COUNTY of KILKENNY The Kilkenny Archaeological Society Rothe House K ilk en n y © The Kilkenny Archaeological Society and Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly, 1985. ISBN 0 9501687 8 5 Printed by BOETHIUS PRESS Kilkenny FOREWORD The publication of my late husband’s history of the place-names of Kilkenny is a re-issue of a work that was originally published in 1969 but has long since gone out of print and is very difficult to obtain. Many years of painstaking research and dedication went into the compilation of the original. But the task was of compelling interest to him and he would have been deeply gratified and proud that his book on the place-names is being republished by the Kilkenny Archaeological Society.

  • Legitimating the Traditional Hamlet in Ireland
    TDSR VOLUME XXIX NUMBER II 2018 23 “A Shower from the Sky”: Legitimating the Traditional Hamlet in Ireland BARRY O’REILLY Traditional hamlets constitute a largely unacknowledged component of Ireland’s settle- ment pattern. The reasons include a lack of clarity about their nature and origins, issues of nomenclature, and a longstanding misperception of their “formlessness.” Stigmatized by an association with poverty and the Great Famine (1845–49), as well as by government and landlord efforts to rationalize or eradicate them, a great number of these traditional settle- ments have disappeared from the landscape. Yet, at the same time, public discourse today fails to acknowledge them, polarizing discussion of rural settlement between dispersed (“ancient”) and urban (“alien”) modes. Research by the present writer, however, confirms that, far from being exceptional, Irish traditional hamlets have recognizable forms and types, and indeed fit well into the mainstream of European settlement. Ironically, a recent policy shift toward encouraging clustered rural housing attempts to bridge the divide, but could end up adversely affecting the distinctiveness of these historic nucleations. Perhaps the most striking aspect of reaction [in the wake of the Great Famine] is to be found in the expressed desire of most country people to have an isolated dwelling- house. The clachan or hamlet, once the centre of communal life and tradition, is despised, a symbol of squabbling poverty, and it is the wish of nearly everyone to have a house where he cannot be overlooked.1 This statement from 1957 by the eminent geographer Emyr Estyn Evans is just as rel- evant sixty years on.

  • Sacred Ireland in 3 Days
    SACRED IRELAND IN 3 DAYS ROUTE: Counties Tipperary, Kilkenny, Wicklow, Kildare, Offaly, Longford, Meath, Louth OVERVIEW: Persuasive saints, productive monks and pillaging Norsemen – tread the trail of the medieval movers and shakers who left their mark on Ireland’s lush green hills and vales. Vanished kingdoms come to life, abandoned villages reappear and the many talents of Ireland’s early missionaries are revealed on this journey through the scenic sights and striking works of Ireland’s sacred past. DAY 1 ROUTE: County Tipperary, County Kilkenny OVERVIEW: With a sprig of three-leaved clover – and a mounted cross to make his point – St Patrick changed Ireland’s history forever when he preached Christianity to the King of Munster at the Rock of Cashel in the 5th century. Over 1,500 years later, this picturesque hilltop site looming over Tipperary’s Golden Vale is remembered as the spot where Patrick’s message first took root. Stroll through layers of Norman and ancient Christian heritage before travelling to the charming village of Thomastown. A good place for a bite to eat here is Sol Bistro, a featured pit stop on Kilkenny’s food trail. It’s a popular spot which adds a Mediterranean twist to its locally sourced produce. Close to the village on the other side of the River Nore is the home of visionary philosopher George Berkeley, Jerpoint Abbey. This serene 12th century church was once the spiritual heart of a now vanished Irish province, the Kingdom of Osraige. Today, this Cistercian structure is considered a national monument for its elegant cloister and intriguing stone carvings.
