Bheadh sé go hiontach dá bhféadfá an nóta sin a chur ar Clubzap chun cúidiú leis.
We can start him off as the original name for our own pitch is An Pháirc Bhán - this name deserved to be preserved.
I heard this from Bill Quinn of the forge in the seventies when he said '' I heard ye bought the Páirc Bhán''
I am collecting unrecorded placenames from counties Clare and Limerick. These names are a vital part of our landscape and language, and are rapidly being forgotten.
I am looking for the following:
Fieldnames - Old houses – Crossroads - Road Names – Hills – Areas – Waterbodies;
Anything which is not mapped.
You can contact me and send the co-ordinates of the placename, or I can send out a return-envelope enclosed with OSI maps of townlands of your choosing, which you can fill in and return to me.
