Anglo-Norman parks in medieval Ireland - Fiona Beglane
This
illustrated
volume
examines
the
evidence
for
medieval
parks
in
Anglo-Norman
Ireland.
It
is
the
first
book
on
the
subject
and
concentrates
on
the
parks
documented
in
the
period
1169
to
c.1350.
Drawing
on
archaeological
fieldwork,
historical
and
place-name
evidence,
it
generates
a
broad
understanding
of
the
role
of
parks
in
medieval
society.
It
stresses
the
importance
of
the
landscape
and
of
the
deer,
cattle
and
timber
within
it
as
integral
aspects
of
the
material
culture
of
high-medieval
Ireland.
The
research
is
underpinned
by
extensive
fieldwork,
which
has
identified
surviving
park
features
in
the
landscape.
Key
topics
explored
include
the
form
and
function
of
medieval
parks,
their
occurrence
and
location
in
the
landscape,
the
status
and
identity
of
their
owners
and
a
comparison
with
parks
elsewhere.
Notably,
the
evidence
suggests
that
both
parks
and
fallow
deer
were
relatively
uncommon
in
Ireland
compared
to
England.
The
reasons
for
this
lie
in
chronology,
landscape
and
politics,
and
these
form
a
major
theme
within
the
book.Fiona
Beglane
is
a
lecturer
in
archaeology
at
the
Institute
of
Technology,
Sligo,
and
a

zooarchaeologist

Ballintober
Old
Graveyard
and
The
Grave
Memorials
of
Co.
Roscommon
presents
the
results
of
seven
years
personally
funded
research
beginning
with
Ballintober
Old
and
extending
to
the
grave
memorials
of
about
two
hundred
graveyards
in
Co.
Roscommon,
the
surrounding counties and beyond.
Memorials
were
part
of
the
lives
of
generations
-
they
remain
for
us
today
to
be
appreciated.
Mary
B.
Timoney
in
this
book
makes
that
appreciation
easier
and
more
complete.
She
distils
the
story
of
some
80,000
memorials
from
the
1650s
to
the
20th
century.
Many
clearly
make the statement We were here, We are here, and We will be here.
Lavishly
illustrated
this
book
is
for
all,
locals,
academics
and
the
general
public.
A
visual
treat,
it
will
increase
local
pride
in
graveyards
and
memorials,
not
just
in
Ballintober
and
Co.
Roscommon,
but
nationally.
It
will
enhance
the
experience
of
a
visit
to
any
Irish
graveyard,
making
it
easier
to
actually
see
what
many
so
easily
pass
by.
The
discoveries
and
revelations
of
the
decorative
content
of
the
memorials
gets
close
to
those
commemorated,
to
those
who
had
the
stones
erected
and,
significantly,
to
those
who
cut
and
carved
them
-
the
work
of
about
one
hundred
stone
masons
has
been
identified
by
initials,
signatures or styles.
This
book
of
twenty-one

Sligo Irish Historic Towns Atlas
Marie-Louise Legg & Fiona Gallagher,
This illustrated volume examines the evidence for medieval
parks in Anglo-Norman Ireland. It is the first book on the
subject and concentrates on the parks documented in the
period 1169 to c.1350. Drawing on archaeological fieldwork,
historical and place-name evidence, it generates a broad
understanding of the role of parks in medieval society. It
stresses the importance of the landscape and of the deer, cattle
and timber within it as integral aspects of the material culture
of high-medieval Ireland. The research is underpinned by
extensive fieldwork, which has identified surviving park
features in the landscape. Key topics explored include the
form and function of medieval parks, their occurrence and
location in the landscape, the status and identity of their
owners and a comparison with parks elsewhere. Notably, the
evidence suggests that both parks and fallow deer were
relatively uncommon in Ireland compared to England. The
reasons for this lie in chronology, landscape and politics, and
these form a major theme within the book.

Sligo Field Club celebrated its 70
th
Anniversary.
To mark this auspicious event the SFC published a Journal
on County Sligo and the North West.
In 1945 the Sligo Antiquarian Society was founded. A year later it re-named itself the
Sligo Field Club. Despite a transitional period in its initial decade, by 1954 the SFC had
established itself as an active society promoting the Archaeology, History, Natural
History and Heritage of Sligo Town and County. To mark this occasion a SFC Journal
has been published with articles from members and the general public comprising of
topics covering a very wide scope that encompass County Sligo and the North-West.

Cian Harte ‘The Lost Tales: Riverstown's Great War,
1914-1918'
"This book is primarily a character focussed study, reconstructing the
lives of soldiers, sailors, nurses, chaplains and stokers from the local community
of Riverstown. Almost eighty people were involved in the war from this area,
with dozens failing to return home.
'
The Lost Tales: Riverstown's Great War, 1914-1918' is a unique insight
into the lives and community of the greater Riverstown area during the
destructive years of the First World War. The life of the village will be explored
with a focus upon the upsurge of radical republicanism and Sinn Féin and how
changing attitudes at home affected the lives of the men at the front."
‘The Lost Tales: Riverstown’s Troubles, 1919-1923’
is
the
second
publication
in
‘The
Lost
Tales’
series
by
local
historian/author
Cían
Harte.
The
book
deals
with
the
years
Ireland
sought
to
attain
freedom
from
the
British
Empire
within
the
local
context
of
rural
east
Sligo.
It
follows
the
activities
of
the
5th
IRA
Riverstown
Battalion
from
the
beginning
of
the
War
of
Independence
to
the
end
of
the
bloody
and
divisive
Civil
War.
The
publication
is
the
culmination
of
a
long
research
process
which
included
accessing
IRA
pension
service
files,
IRA
witness
statements,
contacting
next
of
kin
all
around
the
world,
as
well
as
knowledgeable
locals
of
the
area.
Much
material
had
to
be
handled
with
great
care
due
to
the
sensitive
nature
of
the material to hand.
The
author
appreciates
how
this
period
was
extremely
fluid
in
terms
of
local
political
allegiances.
He
has
sought
to
hear
the
side
of
all
arguments
and
write
in
a
non-partisan
manner.
As
a
result,
the
book
contains
unique
biographies
of
Royal
Irish
Constabulary
enlistees
as
well
as
character
.portraits
on
local
Volunteers,
politicians,
Cumann

and

Furthermore,
an
appendix
includes
all
known
volunteers
of
the
5th
Battalion,
encompassing
well
over
350
names
with
personal
detail
gathered
on
every
single
member.
Dozens
of

have
also

which
