Article on the project below 👇 The field pictured is called Crocán, from cnocán 'hillock'.
Why Irish field names & local placenames need to be recorded. These names are real signifiers of our diverse native landscape and are shaped by local knowledge and past generations, writes @AengusFinnegan

Some pictures from Kilkenny West Graveyard -inscription dates to 1678-80. Would there be interest in the Tubberclair / Glasson area in forming a group to conserve and record inscriptions in the old graveyards in the parish: Bunown, Kilkenny West & Kilnaglinny? @Wmeathheritge

Great too see a big crowd at last night's lecture to the Old Athlone Society, which included commentary on local townland names, field names, names of small streams, and the names of the eel weirs on the Shannon. @Wmeathheritge @ResearchArtsUL @SEIC_UL

Sruth na hAille means 'the stream of the cliff'. It's also the name of a townland, Srunahella. Project coordinator Dr Aengus Ó Fionnagáin will speak about: ‘Placenames and landscape in and around Athlone’ Next Wednesday, 4 October at 8.15pm in the Sheraton Hotel, Athlone 2/2

The beautiful River Al, Garrycastle, Athlone. Much of the river's course has been culverted & diverted, but this stretch, a deep meandering channel, which gave the river its name, remains. Aill, means 'cliff'. A similar gorge nr. Castlepollard is called Sruth na hAille .. 1/2
