An atlas for Celtic studies: archaeology and names in ancient Europe and Early Medieval Ireland, Britain, and Brittany
The maps are thus inventory maps, designed to answer a single question: 'what is where?' This inventory aspect is emphasised by the choice of symbols which refer more or less to the objects featured (sword, chariot, mirror, etc.) but which have no distinguishing graphic value.

The Gaelic Lordship of the O'Sullivan Beare: A Landscape Cultural History
In cackling the later medieval lordship of the O'Sullivan Beare, in what is today West Cork/South Kerry, in southwest Ireland, Colin Breen has grasped a nettle; for far too long the nature of Gaelic society in Ireland, which is to say, those large tracts of land rim remained outside the direct control of the king and his Anglo-Norman barons, has been overlooked by archaeologists. While there is some Anglo-Norman presence, it amounts to one ringwork and one moated site, and Breen is continually encouraging the reader to consider the possibility of continuity in settlement forms (ringforts and cashels) between the two periods; but it has to be noted that there is no direct evidence for recurrent occupancy within the Beara peninsula. In a study that draws heavily on maritime sources, there are too few reproductions of the surviving contemporary maps and sea charts, and indeed the central map, PRO London MPF/1/94, deserves a larger format, perhaps as a fold-out.
