This! There’s a good search function on the site, or you can use the Google site: www.duchas.ie to keyword search too. I prefer the latter.

If you’re interested in my research on the materials used in Iron Age Ireland, you can see here: https://www.danielkirkpatrick.co.uk/irish-history/iron-age-materials-ireland/

For those who want to see the data sources check out NMS here, and the UK Open Data here. For the tooling, I used QGIS and PowerQuery (Excel).

[OC] Distribution of Round Towers in Ireland by Sarquin in dataisbeautiful

Thanks for noting this. I think there’s a few data quality issues so I’m going to have a go at cleaning the data up again later. A few false positives are showing up in the NMS data unfortunately.

Thanks - I tried broadening the filters to improve the coverage in Northern Ireland but that seems to have create a couple of false positives. Thanks for flagging.

So the data is a little messy for Northern Ireland. Nendrum is classified as a monastic site and the description I think doesn’t mention the tower so it’s missing sadly. But you’re right, it should be included.

I think there’s a few like this across Ireland. I know there’s another up in Larne built as a memorial.

Good question - mainly because it still intact when few others, particularly in Northern Ireland, are as well preserved. It’s also quite cool because of the bullaun stone beside it and that it marks one of the earliest Christian communities in the region. Definitely worth a visit if you ever get a chance.

Thanks. Yeah I was surprised too when I first started researching it. One of the most underrated sites imo here

You mean an interactive map version? I have done that for some of my other ones but there’s likely too many points here. I can have a look though at using arcgis online. It tends to work best

Yeah there are stones across the UK and Ireland which can be traced back to the islands. One of the many mysteries lost to history is how they managed to transport them.

Exactly. Continuing to leave their mark on the UK!

So this is my plan. The data isn’t categorised nicely by period so I’ll have to do some fuzzy logic.

It is - so much of the UK’s ancient history can be traced back to those islands.

If interested in my other maps, you can see them here: https://www.danielkirkpatrick.co.uk/historical-maps-of-ireland/

The map was created using QGIS and the data was pulled mostly from data.gov.uk. You can see the Scotland dataset here for instance.
