Abstract:AbstractThe Carrowkeel complex represents one of the four main groups of passage tombs in Ireland. Although less well known than its counterpart in the Boyne Valley, new discoveries in recent years have renewed interest in this internationally significant yet under-investigated site. This paper reviews the 1911 excavation of passage tombs at Carrowkeel and presents new research and discoveries that have been made since. New dates (from a radiocarbon dating project undertaken by the authors) which demonstrate activity within the complex towards the end of the fourth millennium bc are discussed. The authors consider the significance of the recently discovered passage tomb art within the complex, and outline the prospects for future research there, particularly with regard to human bone assemblage from the 1911 excavations.

Abstract:AbstractThis essay reviews the status of Irish environmental history. Although presently embryonic in scope, there are important beginnings as well as many key antecedent studies, often written by scholars in the disciplines of social, economic and agricultural history, and historical geography. The work of these scholars suggests the great potential of the discipline in Ireland, with a rich body of evidence awaiting interrogation by environmental historians. Starting with the advent of the Irish written record and the early medieval period, we highlight a selection of the most pertinent documentary sources and outline their potential for environmental historians. Key questions that might be asked by Irish environmental historians are suggested. A concise introduction to the large body of relevant work that examines the history of human-environmental interactions in Ireland, including within the allied disciplines of environmental and landscape archaeology and palaeoecology, is provided. Integrating the results and insights of these disciplines with those that can be gleaned from scrutiny of the documentary record should be of central concern to environmental historians of Ireland. Improving our awareness and understanding of the human consequences of past environmental change has never been more important than in the context of current debates about the social and economic effects of environmental changes presently experienced and projected for coming decades.

Abstract:This paper explores the direction and context of medieval communication channels in the territory covered by the modern counties of Longford and Roscommon. The network consisted of roadways-both local and interregional-and water-based arteries. The landscape of the area dictated how people moved across the terrain. Large tracts of bog generated a need for trackways to provide access to good land trapped in the peat. The extensive water system centred on the Shannon facilitated travel to otherwise isolated places. The numerous islands contain the remains of secular and religious settlements. The roads identified as belonging to the regional network are plotted on a map of the area. This mapping shows that the main factors shaping the road network were the location of the ritual centre at Cruachain and the siting of religious establishments. Two major roads-the Slighe Assail and the Slighe Mhór-linked an otherwise isolated area to the east-coast ports and to English and continental markets. The relationship of the roads in particular to medieval settlement patterns is examined.

Abstract:This report was compiled on the basis of a two-season excavation on an enclosed habitation site and adjacent wall on Knockadoon Hill. The enclosure is morphologically similar to sites excavated in the 1940s and 1950s and interpreted as Neolithic and Beaker period habitation sites. The results of this excavation show that the enclosure is Late Bronze Age in date, and this has led to a review of the dating evidence for the previously excavated sites. This excavation uncovered the remains of two structures within the enclosure. The wall to the west of the enclosure was partly excavated, and the period of its construction is also Late Bronze Age. The environmental evidence suggests that cattle and pig husbandry formed the basis of the economy. Some evidence of cereal production was also recovered from the excavation.

Abstract:AbstractThe first ‘setting’ of the Northern Ireland conflict in its historiography as a ‘problem’ was by Denis Barritt and Charles Carter in The Northern Ireland problem (Oxford, 1962). Before 1969 this description was the default setting. After 1969 it was displaced by a plethora of rival ‘resettings’ resulting in an intractable meta-conflict or ‘conflict about what the conflict is about’, which persists to the present day. Recently, it has been shown that the process of problematisation is itself problematic and that greater attention needs to be paid to the ‘genealogy’ or ‘pathways of transmission’ of ‘the Northern Ireland problem’ in order to transcend the meta-conflict. This article responds to that call by studying the reception of Barritt and Carter's setting of the problem and then, in more detail, its first resetting by Andrew Boyd in Holy war in Belfast (Tralee, 1969). Three problematic aspects of the ‘genealogy’ of Holy war are exposed: distortion of the historiography; elision of Barritt and Carter's setting; and establishing of the meta-conflict. Further work to address these problematic aspects is noted, and the position of Holy war in the historiography of the conflict is reassessed.

Abstract:AbstractA selection of 25 Irish poems, first printed at Clonmel in 1802, became a bestseller with several different booksellers in Cork issuing competing editions, especially during the 1820s and 1830s. Usually known as Tadhg Gaelach's Pious Miscellany, it sold more copies than any other literary work in Irish, so that the bookseller Seán Ó Dálaigh could call it in 1848 ‘work at the present day in the hands of almost every peasant in Munster’. Its success faded out along with much of Irish provincial printing in the 1840s. Copies are rare, and this article for the first time seeks not merely to list the editions and to record where copies are preserved but also to classify them and to assess what this printing phenomenon has to say about literacy in Irish in early nineteenth-century Munster. Apart from catechisms no other work in Irish made so successful an entry into print, and the textual history of the poems ought in this case to take into account not only manuscript evidence but also these printed editions which appear to have been corrected by editorial hands, more likely from aural knowledge of the poetry than from collation against manuscripts. The only known editor was Patrick Denn, of Cappoquin, who, it is argued, worked with the Cork bookseller Charles Dillon between 1821 and 1828. So few copies now survive that their distribution cannot be traced from material evidence, but the list of subscribers in the first printing from Clonmel 1802 provides information that has allowed its initial distribution to be mapped. Further work to record books printed in Irish in the first half of the nineteenth century would provide a valuable witness to the circulation of vernacular texts, even as the manuscript tradition was fading out.
摘要:《25首爱尔兰诗歌选集》于1802年在克隆梅尔出版社首次印刷，成为科克几家不同书商竞相发行的畅销书，特别是在19世纪20年代和30年代。它通常被称为Tadhg Gaelach的《虔诚杂记》(Pious Miscellany)，比任何其他爱尔兰文学作品都卖得多，所以书商Seán Ó Dálaigh在1848年称它为“现在几乎每个明斯特农民手中的作品”。它的成功随着19世纪40年代爱尔兰各省印刷业的衰落而消失。副本是罕见的，这篇文章第一次不仅列出了版本，记录了副本的保存地点，还对它们进行了分类，并评估了这种印刷现象对19世纪初明斯特爱尔兰语读写能力的影响。除了教义问答，没有其他爱尔兰作品能如此成功地进入印刷领域，在这种情况下，诗歌的文本历史不仅应该考虑手稿证据，还应该考虑这些印刷版本，这些版本似乎是由编辑修改的，更可能是来自诗歌的听觉知识，而不是对手稿的整理。唯一为人所知的编辑是卡波昆的帕特里克·邓恩(Patrick Denn)，据说他在1821年至1828年间与科克书商查尔斯·狄龙(Charles Dillon)合作。现在存世的副本非常少，以至于无法从物证中追溯它们的发行情况，但克朗梅尔1802年第一次印刷时的订户名单提供了一些信息，使人们能够绘制出它最初的发行情况。进一步记录19世纪上半叶用爱尔兰语印刷的书籍的工作，将为方言文本的流通提供宝贵的见证，即使手稿传统正在消失。

Abstract:This study addresses the emergence of a parish system in Ireland between AD 700 and AD 1300. This process is examined against the background of similar processes in Britain and the Continent, and a taxonomy of early Irish church types reveals parallels, if not indeed linkages, between Ireland and her neighbours. By the early twelfth century a de facto parish system based on the local community, the túath, emerges in Ireland. The parish church of this system may be described as the túath-church. Some elements of this system can be found much earlier, in the eighth century canons. The arrival of the Anglo-Normans sees the túath-church system replaced by the English version of the Gregorian reform parish, the establishment of which in Ireland occurs during the century from 1172. This system is a complex mix of rectories and vicarages with origins both secular and ecclesiastical, and was the result of tension between lay and monastic interests on the one hand and episcopal efforts to maintain the cura animarum on the other. Elements of the earlier túath-church system survived within the later reformed parish structure.

Abstract:Irish antiquarian publications of the nineteenth century often charted the contemporary destruction and dissolution of archaeological monuments throughout the island of Ireland with disapproval, melancholy or indignation. In this paper, I argue that the survival or otherwise of monuments was related to their perceived role as containers of memory. Thus, destructive acts may have reflected the loss of memories or accommodations between competing ways of attaching value to monuments. While forces operating at a broad social scale were frequently blamed for this destruction, it is my contention that mechanisms facilitating the removal or alteration of monuments were incorporated into the various belief systems that ostensibly guaranteed their protection. These mechanisms included the translation of monuments into monetary resources. They also included the negotiation of changing social, economic and political understandings (including 'modernity') through interactions with the physical fabric of sites.

Abstract:The fashion for neoclassical interior decoration in Dublin, prevalent from the early 1770s to c. 1800, was also reflected in the updating of older houses in the new style. While it is tempting to view such redecorating projects as evidence solely of eighteenth-century modishness—the domestic interior embodying a conspicuous display of social status and prescient attitudes to fashion and taste—it is clear that practical considerations, such as the maintenance and refurbishment of rooms, were equally imperative. This paper will explore the variety of motives, as well as the range of options—from the remodelling of particular apartments to the repair and restoration of furnishings—available to the eighteenth-century home-owner.

Abstract:The transcription and teaching career of the Gaelic scribe Muiris Ó Gormáin spanned three-quarters of the eighteenth century. From the 1750s onwards he became one of the most sought after scribes as he was employed by many of the leading Irish antiquarians, both Protestant and Catholic, to copy and translate Gaelic manuscripts. During the 1760s and 1770s he compiled detailed catalogues of the contents of books and manuscripts in his possession, together with his estimation of their value. Not only do these catalogues provide an important insight into the type of material he considered worth collecting but they also point towards the fact that he functioned as a book-dealer. The bilingual nature of these catalogues, and the large number of books in the English language they contained, challenge the argument first put forward by Daniel Corkery in the 1920s that the worlds of the Gaelic-speaking Irish and the English-speaking Protestant élite were divided from one another with little interaction between them, and Joep Leerssen's contention more recently that Gaelic Ireland was isolated from print culture in English.
摘要:盖尔语抄写员Muiris Ó Gormáin的抄写和教学生涯跨越了18世纪的四分之三。从18世纪50年代开始，他成为最受欢迎的抄写员之一，因为他被许多爱尔兰主要的古物学家雇用，包括新教徒和天主教徒，复制和翻译盖尔语手稿。在18世纪60年代和70年代，他编制了他所拥有的书籍和手稿内容的详细目录，并对它们的价值进行了估计。这些目录不仅为他认为值得收藏的材料类型提供了重要的见解，而且还指出了他作为书商的事实。这些目录的双语性质，以及其中包含的大量英语书籍，挑战了Daniel Corkery在20世纪20年代首次提出的论点，即讲盖尔语的爱尔兰人和讲英语的新教教徒的世界彼此分离，彼此之间几乎没有互动，以及Joep Leerssen最近的论点，即盖尔语爱尔兰与英语印刷文化是隔离的。
