Published in association with the Group for the Study of Irish Historic Settlement and the Agricultural History Society of Ireland, this collection explores the relationship between Irish settlement and agricultural practice from the Neolithic to the 18th century. The types of farming that took place in any particular period of Irish history had a powerful impact on the development of settlement. Interdisciplinary studies in this volume address key periods to illustrate that process: from the spread of Neolithic pastoralism, the very basis of farming on the island; through the medieval focus on tillage, which gave rise to manorial villages and granges; to the 18th-century agricultural revolution and the impact that had on urban and rural landscapes. Contents include: an introduction to agriculture and settlement * the early medieval farm * the evolution of cattle and of cattle farming systems * the Cistercian grange: a medieval farming system * agriculture and the medieval manor * the creaght: farming system or social unit? * the changing structure of Irish agriculture in the 17th century * Collon, Co. Louth: the landscape legacy of an 18th-century estate * Irish farming systems. [Subject: History, Irish Studies, Agriculture, Medieval Studies]

Download Cattle in Ancient and Modern Ireland Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Cattle have been the mainstay of Irish farming since the Neolithic began in Ireland almost 6000 years ago. Cattle, and especially cows, have been important in the life experiences of most Irish people, directly and/or through legends such as the Táin Bó Cuailnge (The Cattle-raid of Cooley). In this book, diverse aspects of cattle in Ireland, from the circumstances of their first introduction to recent and ongoing developments in the management of grasslands – still the main food-source for cattle in Ireland – are explored in thirteen essays written by experts. New information is presented, and several aspects relating to cattle husbandry and the interactions of cattle and people that have hitherto received little or no attention are discussed.

Excerpt from Plain Talks to Irish Farmers: An Examination of the Changes Which Must Be Made by Irish Farmers in the Management of Their Private and Public Affairs if the Land Settlement Is to Bring Prosperity to Ireland The following pages relate to a movement and a policy which have been built up during the last two decades. The movement aims at a complete re-organisation of the farming business in Ireland on co-operative lines, its promoters believing that this will result not only in economic, but also in social improvement. The policy seeks to define the principles upon which the newly-provided State assistance to agriculture should be administered so as to evoke and supplement organised self-help. The scheme as a whole is the working out of a now well known formula for the rehabilitation of rural life - better farming, better business, better living. Thus it is hoped that, as the land settlement proceeds, agriculture in Ireland may be gradually raised to the level of efficiency which it has reached in many European countries where the land question has been settled. The present pamphlet is a revised and condensed reproduction of some articles which I have recently written in The Irish Homestead. I seized the occasion of an attack upon the movement and the policy to explain and defend both. No one will deny the gravity or importance of the main issue I discuss. In the circumstances of Ireland the prosperity of the farmer is a fundamental condition of the well-being of all classes. Personally I doubt the feasibility of developing subsidiary industries while the main industry of a country is in a backward condition.

The changing methods of crop and livestock production during the 'Age of Improvement' in Ireland, and some of the ways in which they shaped rural society and the landscape. It shows how sensible farmers were, in developing systems and techniques that fitted their resources, or lack of them, making Ireland a major agricultural producer, and overcoming huge environmental and social obstacles to ensure the survival of millions of people. -- Publisher description

After the Famine examines the recovery in Irish agriculture in the wake of the disastrous potato famine of the 1840s, and presents an annual agricultural output series for Ireland from 1850 to 1914. Michael Turner's detailed 1996 study is in three parts: he analyses the changing structure of agriculture in terms of land use and peasant occupancy; he presents estimates of the annual value of Irish output between 1850 and 1914; and he assesses Irish agricultural performance in terms of several measures of productivity. These analyses are placed in the context of British and European agricultural development, and suggest that, contrary to prevailing orthodoxies, landlords rather than tenants were the main beneficiaries in the period leading up to the land reforms. After the Famine is an important contribution to an extremely controversial area of Irish social and economic history.
