The field names of County Louth

The image on the front cover shows fields in the townland of Ardaghy, Omeath, in the Cooley peninsula. Native Irish was spoken in Omeath well into the twentieth century, and the townland has a rich corpus of Irish-language field names. The back cover shows the ancient monastic site of Monasterboice, and the rich tillagge landscape that covers much of lowland County Louth.
