The Mountains of Cooley: shaped by people (2021)
A 20-minute video on the rich heritage of Irish-language placenames in the Cooley Mountains. With funding from the Heritage Council we took about a hundred place-name entries from a 2015 study (Mapping the Minor Place Names in the Cooley Mountains) and wove them together with five stories related to the mountains:
- The Cadgers’ Pad, the route for carrying herring to Dundalk
- Booleying, the summer grazing communities in the ‘mari’ huts
- The Táin – the Cattle Raid of Cooley
- The Montiagh expulsions: post-Famine clearances in Moneycrockroe
- “Oneillsville”: Plantation refugees from mid-Ulster in Glenmore
