Volumes two and three of
On Our Own Ground: County Wexford Parish by Parish were officially launched during a live video-conference call hosted by County Librarian Eileen Morrissey last week.
The books follow on from the first volume, which was released in 2013, and detail the natural heritage of County Wexford through the centuries with photography, drawings and maps to compliment the detailed text .
All 3,000 townlands in the county are featured and, according to Dr Culleton, the aim was to present as much information as possible in a relatively straightforward fashion. My aim was to publish material on the archaeology of Wexford in a manner which ordinary people can understand, he said at the launch. Some of the jargon of archaeology can be very difficult to understand, so I simplified some of it.
