(Gaelic Learned Kindreds of Ireland Landscapes and Lifeways
This site has many interesting studies on ancient Ireland, it tales and its people, in the context f locating where they lived and what they present to us today.
"This project, which is at publication stage, uses a series of field-based studies in Ireland to reveal the physical environments in which Gaelic learned families lived and conducted schools, specifically through an exploration of their settlement archaeology, landholdings and the place-names associated with them, c. 1200-1600AD. The landscape context of their lives is essential to understanding the role and identity of the learned professions as service families of Gaelic lords and it also provides insight into the character and organisation of lordship mensal lands (lucht tighe) in later medieval and early modern Ireland to c.1600."
