  • Cavan Report
    Group for the Study of Irish Historic Settlement Report on the Fortieth Annual Regional Conference, Cavan, 6-8 May 2011 The Annual Regional Conference of the Group for the Study of Irish Historic Settlement was held in association with Cumann Seanchais Bhreifne in County Cavan, on the weekend of 6-8 May 2011. The principal venue for the conference was the Farnham Estate hotel, just outside Cavan town. Friday 6 May 2011 The opening lecture at the conference was delivered by Professor P.J. Duffy, Department of Geography, NUI Maynooth, on the theme of ‘Land, landscape and memory: reading Cavan’s heritage’. Prof. Duffy provided an overview of the layers of landscape development from the thirteenth to the twenty-first century, illustrating how earlier developments are not obliterated. He demonstrated how we occupy an eighteenth- century landscape and a nineteenth-century roadscape, a slow landscape inherited from a pedestrianised world. He offered various criteria for studying historic landscapes, emphasising the importance of patterns of landownership, the influence or absence of landlord involvement, and allowing in particular for the impact of population change. Saturday 7 May 2011 The first speaker in Cavan on Saturday morning was Eamon Cody, National Monuments Service, who presented a paper on ‘Early regional identity and local prehistoric continuity in the Cavan area’. The Burren area in north west Cavan is an area with rich evidence of prehistoric settlement, with examples of court tombs, passage tombs and portal tombs all surviving from this period. There was a strong social impetus behind such tomb building, as these places devoted to the memory of ancestors served as markers of ownership of land, and shaped identifiable localities.
