Who created the Irish Townland system?

Carrickfergus Museum, Museum & Civic Centre, 11 Antrim Street, Carrickfergus, County Antrim, BT38 7DG

About

Join us for a fun, interactive session – where you will play detective! Explore key evidence from history, language and archaeology. You decide - Is it a native Irish system? Or was it introduced by the Vikings? Or the Anglo-Normans? Led by language scholar Paul Tempan, this workshop will offer the opportunity to learn about what each culture contributed to medieval Ireland. Delivered as part of the museum programme for the Carrickfergus before the castle exhibition. BOOK HERE https://thebraid.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows
