Errigle - explaining townlands
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Errigle - explaining townlands The unique Irish concept of a townland originated in Early Mediaeval Ireland and represented a basic landholding. Each county and parish was divided into townlands (called tates or balliboes in parts of Ulster), a pattern surviving to this day. Each townland averages 350 acres - an area large enough to contain a number of farms whose owners were kin related and who traditionally co-operated to work the land.
Between 1834 and 1841 the Ordnance Survey, mainly through the work of the great linguistic scholar and historian, John 0'Donovan. standardised and researched administrative place names and formed the anglicised versions we see most frequently used today. |
