Bheadh sé go hiontach dá bhféadfá an nóta sin a chur ar Clubzap chun cúidiú leis.

We can start him off as the original  name for our own pitch is An Pháirc Bhán - this name deserved to be preserved.

I heard this from Bill Quinn of the forge in the seventies when he said '' I heard ye bought the Páirc Bhán''

I am collecting unrecorded placenames from counties Clare and Limerick. These names are a vital part of our landscape and language, and are rapidly being forgotten.

I am looking for the following:

Fieldnames - Old houses – Crossroads - Road Names – Hills – Areas – Waterbodies;

Anything which is not mapped.

You can contact me and send the co-ordinates of the placename, or I can send out a return-envelope enclosed with OSI maps of townlands of your choosing, which you can fill in and return to me.

Get in touch:

Postal address: V95A272 Coolycasey, Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare

These names are being compiled for an online community map database. See our work so far with this

This is being done with the help of Shannon Archaeological & Historical Society and Meitheal Logainm, a community outreach initiative of the Placenames Branch. Your names/personal info will not be shared without your consent.
