About this project

This is a collection of research notes on Irish history, heritage and folklore — places visited in person, and written up as deep dives rather than quick summaries.

Method

Each piece draws on multiple sources, cross-checked against one another wherever possible. Where sources disagree — on a date, a name, or the details of a legend — that disagreement is recorded rather than smoothed over. Where a claim could not be verified, it is marked as such rather than presented as settled fact.

Firsthand observations from visiting each site are woven in alongside the documentary and archival research. Full sources are listed at the end of each article.

Corrections

Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but errors are always possible in work of this kind. If you spot one, or have a source that adds to or corrects something here, please get in touch.
