Although past Newsletters have provided Page rough outlines of Gathering activities, there has been no concerted effort to include the particulars of the various 2012 Gathering Accounts 4 presentations. That was primarily due to consideration of A Message from the Chief 5 printing costs and space limitations. However, important Payments to Clann Chaomhánach 5 advantages of an electronic newsletter are that color (versus Clann Chaomhánach Membership Forms 6 just black-and-white) can be used and the number of pages Clans of Ireland 7 it is no longer relevant.

The estimated prices are based on previous gatherings and may not be comparable to the actual current costs.

Fergus Kavanagh, Treasurer, Clann Chaomhánach. 11th October 2012 Clann Chaomhánach E-Newsletter 38 5 A Message from the Chief: Despite some initial worries about how the weather might behave, and the concern about a potential dampening effect on attendance of the current economic austerity, the Gathering turned out to be a roaring success. Camaraderie and craic prevailed, while much historical and genealogical wisdom was shared amongst us. Ample recognition should go to the herculean planning efforts of James J and John G (of Camolin), which were underpinned by the vital administrative input of Fergus, all resulting in a really memorable Gathering, which sparkled with warmth and friendship. The innovative field trip by bus on Thursday took us northwards from Bunclody through Clonegal (scene of a last stand by the Caomhánachs against the invading Cromwellians), Tullow (with sad memories of the 1798 rebellion), Baltinglass Abbey (a religious institution founded by Dermot McMurrough), the High Cross at Moone, and then on to Athy, on the borders of the Pale. From there we proceeded to the very impressive fortress Rock of Dunamase (which once was under McMurrough’s control), on to Oughaval monastery, which had housed the Book of Leinster (compiled under McMurrough’s patronage), to Killeshin Abbey with its magnificent 12th century doorway, then stopped to view the amazing Brownshill Dolmen with its 100 metric ton capstone dating from between 4,000 and 3,000 BC, and finally back to Bunclody On Friday, the day was occupied with history and genealogical lectures and workshops. The songs, music and dancing laid on by the local Celtic Roots group were a sheer delight and added much to the friendly spirit of two successive (Thursday and Friday) evenings. This got all feet tapping as well as launching some enthusiastic céilí dancing by our Clann members. Familiar faces included such faithful attenders , as Lorna Harris who, under difficult circumstances, made the journey from South Africa; Doris and Vic from New Jersey; Robert from Peabody, Mass., and Chris and Wendy formerly of Zimbabwe. New faces included Tánaiste Patsy’s cousins, the Perry and Gibbs families from New Zealand; Brian and Kathy from W. Australia; Steve and Dee from Montana; Dillon and Sheri from Kentucky; Brian and Rebecca from Seattle; Kerry the Gaelic speaker from Australia, and Kit and Carol, both from Virginia . The good weather which John claimed to have ordered for us from "on high" continued to hold up for the inauguration ceremony at Ferns Castle on Saturday, and for the subsequent laying of the wreath at the nearby graves of Dermot McMurrough and his son, our ancestral Domhnall Caomhánach.

    The Origins and Expansion of the O'shea Clan

    The Origins and Expansion of the O’Shea Clan At the beginning of the second millennium in the High Kingship of Brian Boru, there were three distinct races or petty kingdoms in what is now the County of Kerry. In the north along the Shannon estuary lived the most ancient of these known as the Ciarraige, reputed to be descendants of the Picts, who may have preceded the first Celts to settle in Ireland. On either side of Dingle Bay and inland eastwards lived the Corcu Duibne1 descended from possibly the first wave of Celtic immigration called the Fir Bolg and also referred to as Iverni or Erainn. The common explanation of Fir Bolg is ‘Bag Men’ so called as they allegedly exported Irish earth in bags to spread around Greek cities as protection against snakes! However as bolg in Irish means stomach, generations of Irish school children referred to them gleefully as ‘Fat bellies’ or worse. Legend has it that these Fir Bolg, as we will see possibly the ancestors of the O’Shea clan, landed in Cork. Reputedly small, dark and boorish they settled in Cork and Kerry and were the authors of the great Red Branch group of sagas and the builders of great stone fortresses around the seacoasts of Kerry. Finally around Killarney and south of it lived the Eoganacht Locha Lein, descendants of a later Celtic visitation called Goidels or Gaels. Present Kerry boundary (3) (2) (1) The territories of the people of the Corcu Duibne with subsequent sept strongholds; (1) O’Sheas (2) O’Falveys (3) O’Connells The Corcu Duibne were recognised as a distinct race by the fifth or sixth century AD.

    The Phylogenealogy of R-L21: Four and a Half Millennia of Expansion and Redistribution

    The phylogenealogy of R-L21: four and a half millennia of expansion and redistribution Joe Flood* * Dr Flood is a mathematician, economist and data analyst. He was a Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO and has been a Fellow at a number of universities including Macquarie University, University of Canberra, Flinders University, University of Glasgow, University of Uppsala and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He was a foundation Associate Director of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute. He has been administrator of the Cornwall Y-DNA Geographic Project and several surname projects at FTDNA since 2007. He would like to give credit to the many ‘citizen scientists’ who made this paper possible by constructing the detailed R1b haplotree over the past few years, especially Alex Williamson. 1 ABSTRACT: Phylogenealogy is the study of lines of descent of groups of men using the procedures of genetic genealogy, which include genetics, surname studies, history and social analysis. This paper uses spatial and temporal variation in the subclade distribution of the dominant Irish/British haplogroup R1b-L21 to describe population changes in Britain and Ireland over a period of 4500 years from the early Bronze Age until the present. The main focus is on the initial spread of L21-bearing populations from south-west Britain as part of the Beaker Atlantic culture, and on a major redistribution of the haplogroup that took place in Ireland and Scotland from about 100 BC. The distributional evidence for a British origin for L21 around 2500 BC is compelling. Most likely the mutation originated in the large Beaker colony in south-west Britain, where many old lineages still survive.
  • The Archaeological Record of the Cistercians in Ireland, 1142-1541

    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

    Rathvilly Waste Water Works – Section C 1 SECTION C1 Description of the Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant the Wastewater

    SECTION C1 Description of the Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant The wastewater treatment plant in Rathvilly was constructed in 1954 on an inclined site approximately 350m west of the town centre. There is no electricity supply on site. A strip of land to accommodate a new access roadway to the site has recently been purchased by Carlow County Council. This new access roadway is parallel to and near the River Slaney and will provide access to the site from the N81 to the south of Rathvilly Bridge. This access roadway is fenced on both sides, and is provided with gates to facilitate access to surrounding fields by the landowner. The area of the original wastewater treatment plant site is 0.19 ha, and with the recent acquisition by Carlow County Council of adjacent land to accommodate the upgraded plant, the total site area has increased to approximately 0.39 ha. The existing wastewater treatment process comprises a traditional twin percolating filter system with primary treatment upstream in an Imhoff tank and downstream secondary settlement in humus tanks. The treatment system was originally designed to treat the wastewater from a population equivalent of 600 and is now receiving a higher estimated loading corresponding to a population equivalent in excess of 1,000. The system operates entirely on gravity flow and incorporates no pumping or electrical equipment. Raw wastewater from the town discharges to an inlet chamber at the head of the treatment plant via two 225 mm diameter gravity sewers (one from Ballyoliver and the other form the town) and a pumped main from the northern bank of the River For inspection purposes only.
