Place Name recording event for Mount Gable / Binn Shléibhte

Tar agus inis dúinn na scéalta na tíre
Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark (Geopháirc Dhúiche Sheoigheach agus Lochanna an Iarthair), in partnership with Joyce Country and Western Lakes GeoEnterprise and Comharchumann Dhúiche Sheoigheach Teo, is organising this place name recording event for the communities of an Fhairche, Corr na Móna and an Cloch Bhreach. The event will take place in Petersburg in Clonbur from 2 to 4pm on Thursday the 20th of April and will allow local people to come in and record the names of knolls and hillocks, streams and cliff faces and any other features that are not yet on any map. The geopark team will be on-hand to record digitally the information given and share it on themeitheal section of the logainm.ie website and on future maps of the locality.

Following the publication in 2020 of the booklet entitled “Place Names and Geology in the Joyce Country and Western Lakes region” (pdf english and irish), the geopark team and the Joyce Country and Western Lakes GeoEnterprise continues on its endeavour to shine a light on this very precious interaction between our landscape and our cultural heritage. This event follows on from the recording of place names in the valley of Lough Nafooey to the other communities around Mount Gable and will continue for further communities of the geopark region later on.Everyone is welcome but we are particularly looking for people with knowledge on the mountain’s place names and its history. If anybody is unavailable to join us during the event, please contact the geopark geologist at [email protected].
