Index to Areas of Scientific Interest 1:126,720 O.S.Maps INDEX TO AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST 1:126,720 O.S.MAPS. i D l a a e D WILDLIFE SERVICE 1,969 , D INDEX TO AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST PLOTTED ON 1:126,720 (HALF INCH) ORDNANCE SURVEY MAPS INTRODUCTION In 1983 the WildlifeService, then partof the Forest and Wildlife Service, produced an index and maps, at the 1:126,720 (half inch) scale, of sites of scientific interest in the Republic of Ireland. These maps were widely circulated amongst planning and development agencies to help ensure that the value of these siteswould be taken intoaccount indevelopment activities. In the intervening period extensive surveys by the FWS and otherorganisationshas revealed manynew sites of scientific interest,especially peatlands, while onthe other hand some sites have been destroyed or damaged. To maintain their usefulness for site protection it was decided to extensively revise the index and maps to make them asup to date as possible. The original 1983 listing waslargely based onthe National Heritage Inventory of Areas of Scientific Interest inIreland (AFF July 1981), which listed 1059 areas of scientific interest. All of theAFF sites, with the exception of 82 sites of geological/geomorphological interest, whose locations or boundaries were unknown,wereincluded in the 1983 Wildlife Service index and maps. To these were added another 101 areas of ecological (mostly ornithological) interest drawn mainly from FWS files or-the scientific literature. In all a total of 1078 sites were listed.With the 418 sites now added to this edition the number of sites of scientific interest stands at 1496. EXPLANATION OF INDEX HEADINGS: Site No. Within each county, the site number identifies the site onthe map. The numbering systemis the same asthatused in the "National Heritage Inventory of Areas of Scientific Interest in Ireland" (AFF July 1981),with the additional sites following consecutively. 0 .z. Name The site name is that given in the National Heritageinventory, or on file in the Wildlife Service. a National Grid The grid reference is given for the centre of thearea and it is expressed as a 6-figure reference if the site is smallerthan 10 ha. Interest This indicates the main scientific interest of the site listedby AFFor WS, i.e. whether it is rock (Geological), landform (Geomorphological), or biota. For sites of biological I importance, where there are no specific features of interest, a they are labelled simply ECOLOGICAL, but where there is additional information, ecological sites are further divided into botanical (B), zoological (Z), or ornithological (O) sites. Rating The rating gives an idea of the scale of importanceof the site: I = International N = National A R = Regional L = Local NR = not rated: sites which are known to be ofscientific interest, but which have received no rating because the relevant data was not available at the time the index was being compiled. N.B. The original list had sites ordered into I, N, Rand L. Becauseofproblemsinvolved in numbering it wasnot possible to maintain this order. a a . 3 . Status Most sites are unprotectedbut a feware incorporated into National Parks or are Statutory Nature Reserves established under Wildlife Act 1976. The followingsymbols prefixingthe numbers indicate the status of the site: Index Maps * Nature reserve *P Partly nature reserve - NP National Park - AT An Taisce - X Destroyed V Severely damaged D :ies Tht: boundaries are not definitive and are subject to revision. On the maps a broken line indicates a large area or region with a concentration of sites of scientific interest. The Burren, Co. Clare, Sheet 14, is outlined thus_o_o Report_ o_ and follows the boundary outlined in the 1985 Burren Report. 'B' .Itter the site number indicates a change in the boundaryfrom the original report. The location of geological sites smaller than 0.5haand other sites whose boundaries werenot accurately known, are delimited by a dotted line. References AFF An Foras Forbartha.

  • The Kerry Way Self Guided | Free Download
    The Kerry Way: Self-Guided How to plan your multi-day backpacking trip around Ireland’s scenic Ring of Kerry Many are familiar with the beautiful Ring of Kerry in County Kerry, Ireland, but far fewer are aware that the entire route can be walked instead of driven. Despite The Kerry Way’s status as one of the most popular of Ireland’s National Waymarked Trails, I had more difficulty finding advice to help me prepare for it than I did for hikes in Scotland and the United Kingdom. At approximately 135 miles, it’s also the longest of Ireland’s trails, and in retrospect I’ve noticed that many companies who offer self-guided itineraries actually cut off two whole sections of the route - in my opinion, some of the prettiest sections. In honor of completing my own trek with nothing but online articles and digital apps to guide the way, I thought I’d pay it forward by creating my own budget-minded backpacker’s guide (for the WHOLE route) so that others might benefit from what I learned. If you prefer to stay in B&Bs rather than camping or budget accommodations, I’ve outlined how you can swap out some of my choices for your own. Stats: English Name: The Kerry Way Irish Name: Slí Uíbh Ráthaigh Location: Iveragh Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland Official Length: 135 miles (217 km), but there are multiple route options Completion Time: 9 Days is the typical schedule High Point: 1,263ft (385m) at Windy Gap, between Glencar and Glenbeigh Route Style: Circular Loop Table of Contents: (Click to Jump To) Preparedness: Things to Consider Weather Gear Amenities Currency Language Wildlife Cell Service Physical Fitness Popularity Waymarking To Camp or Not to Camp? Emergencies Resources Getting There // Getting Around Route // Accommodations Preparedness: Things to Consider WEATHER According to DiscoveringIreland, “the average number of wet days (days with more than 1mm of rain) ranges from about 150 days a year along the east and south-east coasts, to about 225 days a year in parts of the west.” Our route along the Iveragh Peninsula follows the southwest coast of Ireland.

  • Ardara Bays & Coast LCA 30 an Gaeltacht
    Ardara Bays & Coast LCA 30 An Gaeltacht Ardara Bays, Coast and Gaeltacht Landscape Character Area is a low lying undulating area with an open aspect, framed by the higher uplands of the surrounding LCAs and by a long and varied coastline indented by long sandy tidal estuaries. The area has a myriad of landscape types; the inland landscape is pre-dominantly bog and lake interspersed with fertile riverine agricultural corridors to the south following the Owenea and Owentocker Rivers and large commercial coniferous forestry plantations within the east. Agricultural lands along river valleys and in the hinterland of Ardara and Glenties are characterised by larger hedgerow bound geometric fields, at variance with the coastal farmland of a more open nature with historic fields patterns of note at Loughros and Portnoo. The coast extends from within the tidal estuary at Gweebarra bay, past Inishkeel island, around Dawross Head and into Loughros More Bay and estuary before following the shore around Loughros Point and Loughros Beg Bay and estuary. The Wild Atlantic Way extends through this area along the route of the R261, skimming the north coast that already has an established tourism and recreation base at Nairn and Portnoo. This area has been settled throughout history and many important historic sites and monuments remain, including Doon Fort, an island crannog dating from the 4 th Century, and the ruins of a 6 th century monastery and church on Inishkeel island. 156 Landscape Character types Seascape Character Units Map/list Seascape units Seascape Unit 12 and Seascape Unit 13 are within the Ardara Bays, Coast and Gaeltacht Landscape Character Area.

Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.
