Monaghan) Company Irish Volunteers, 1916 ; Captain same Company, 1919 Subject. The (a) Irish Volunteers, Co. Monaghan, 1914 ; (b) Military activities, Co. Monaghan, 1920-1921. Conditions, If Any, Stipulated by Witness. S.1831. File No Form B.S.M.2 Statement by Eugene Sherry, Clontibret, Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan. I joined the Volunteers early probably before 1916. This organisation was of little value. We took part in drills and training. A man named Cusack came from Monaghan town and put us through training exercises. Easter Week 1916 passed without any local incident taking. place. The start of re-organising the Volunteers after 1916 took place in our area about 1919. I then joined the Clontibret Company. I was the first Company O/C and remained in charge of the Company until 1922. About thirty men joined at the start of the Company and the membership gradually increased up to the Truce when we had 63 or 64 on the rolls. Clontibret Company was part of the Monaghan town Battalion from 1919 onwards. In 1919 we had little arms some shotguns, a few pin fire revolvers-of antiquated make and some ammunition for the revolvers. We had to rely on what we had or on what we got by raiding forearms. I purchased a few revolvers myself. This was all the purchase of arms as far as I know in the Company area. In 1920 at the general raid for arms we made a canvass amongst all friendly houses within the Company area and we handed over a number of shotguns.

    Natural Heritage Areas, Special Areas of Conservation & Special Protection Areas Natural Heritage Areas: Designated Site Code Site Name Description 001603 Eshbrack An extensive area of upland blanket bog. Eshbrack Bog Bog NHA NHA contains the last remaining relatively intact bog habitat in Co. Monaghan. Although parts of the site have been affected by hand cutting and mechanical peat extraction, much of the cutover areas are now starting to regenerate. This is largely dominated by a combination of Deer Sedge (Scirpus cespitosus), Ling Heather (Calluna vulgaris), Cross-leaved Heath (Erica tetralix), Hare’s-tail Cotton grass (Eriophorum vaginatum) Common Cottongrass (E. angustifolium), Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) and a range of mosses such as Sphagnum capillifolium, S. papillosum, S. tenellum and Hypnum cupressiforme. In places Cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos) is an abundant component of the vegetation. Natural Heritage Areas: Proposed Site Code Site Name Description 000001 Dromore A group of ten main inter-drumlin lakes plus several Lakes smaller areas of water stretching along the River Dromore between Cootehill and Ballybay. Nice areas of wet woodland and reed swamp. Important wintering wildfowl population, including Whooper swans, great crested grebe and lapwings. 000558 Emy Lough This mesotrophic lake lies in an inter - drumlin hollow in the Blackwater catchment area, only l km east of Emyvale. The lough is one of the largest lakes in the area with surrounding sections of Alder and Willow species. It is an important over-wintering sites for birds. 000559 Glaslough The main value of the site lies in the lake and adjacent Lake wetland habitats. It is reportedly rich in Calcium with Stoneworts (Chara spp.) and White Water-lily (Nymphaea alba) which is likely to have been introduced.

  • Susan Hegarty
    Monaghan’s physical landscape: exploiting its natural resources SUSAN HEGARTY Introduction When the author of the Irish Times article in 1863 called Monaghan the ‘Cornwall of Erin’, he may have somewhat embellished reality.1 Indeed, this idea of an industrialised Monaghan may have been merely aspirational, as the landowners of Monaghan began to engage in exploitation of their mineral resources in the nineteenth century. However, it is true to say that the physical landscape of any area is the foundation for any future development – cultural and social. The raw materials of an area shape the historical experience of its economy and society. Therefore, in this chapter we will examine the evolution of the physical landscape of Monaghan, its endowment of raw materials, and how these have been exploited over the years. Even a cursory glance at the basic physical geography of Monaghan (fig. 1) will suffice to note that the county can be broken up into four areas. The northwestern corner of the county contains its highest point, around the Slieve Beagh uplands. To the east and south of this, is located a lowland area composed of limestone, with average heights of 70 metres above sea level. In the centre of the county, south of Monaghan town, the land rises to an average of 160 metres above sea level. Then further south around Carrickmacross, the land falls again, averaging 60 metres above sea level. All of these changes in landscape and elevation are due to the underlying rock types (fig. 2). Glaciation has also had a significant impact on the landscape of Monaghan, with drumlins being one of its most characteristic features.

THEfirst edition of this Memoir was issued in 1885, and was prepared by Mr. R. J. Cruise, with palaeontological notes by Mr. W. H. Baily. Advantage has been taken of the demand for a new edition to considerably amplify the subject matter, particularly as regards the glacial features, the minerals, and the relation of the soils to agriculture. A considerable mass of gabbro, first brought to the notice of the Survey by Mr. R. Clark, and used for road-metal and building, has been mapped and described. The assistance of Dr. G. W. Lee in naming a number of Carboniferous fossils is gratefully acknowledged. The country described is typical of the Silurian lands that stretch from near Longford to the coast of Down and into the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
