Abstract:

The British Ordnance Survey mapping of Ireland in the nineteenth-century was an official systematic survey which created a picture document of the landscape and the past. While the maps influenced the institutionalization of archaeology, the documenting of an archaeological record on the maps shaped their look and language. Within a setting of the political contest between British colonialism and Irish nationalism, both the Ordnance Survey maps and the archaeological past they recorded became powerful tools that helped to construct Irish identity and a sense of place and heritage.

Abstract:

In 1825, two detachments of Royal Engineers were dispatched from their English headquarters and sent to Dublin to undertake the first Ordnance Survey of Ireland. This Survey aimed to set new standards for topographical mapping: however there was an anxiety to make the maps a standard of orthography as well as of topography. Placenames were to be examined and 'rectified' with the same ardour for precision as all other aspects of the Survey. This thesis examines the textual processes by which the Ordnance Survey's journey through Ireland resulted in its place-names becoming fixed in print. From detailed readings of original documents of the Ordnance Survey I reconstruct the principles, policies and methods by which the surveyors collected and edited placenames for publication on the Ordnance Survey maps. I trace how orthographic knowledge was produced, manipulated and negotiated within the analytical spaces of the Ordnance Survey documentation. Having reconstructed the Survey's orthographic procedures I consider what the overall effect these various policies and practices was on the Irish namescape at large. I argue that the fixing of Ireland's place-names on the Ordnance Survey maps systematically modified these names. More specifically I argue that the Ordnance Survey anglicised Ireland's place-names. Upon its completion in 1846, this cartographic operation had accomplished more than the production of a "representation of land on paper." These maps of the Irish Survey constructed a particular vision of Ireland through very particular modes of representation. This cartographic construction of Ireland comprised a profoundly pragmatic and politicised discourse. I situate the Survey's naming practices within the broader political context of English-Irish relations. The Ordnance Survey and its orthographic practices in particular are argued throughout this work to be important constituents of England's apparatus for extending political, cultural and economic control over Ireland during the nineteenth century.

Abstract:

This examination of the Dublin Penny Journal shows how antiquarian history was reshaped along nationalist lines by the penny magazines. These ephemeral publications are unexpected and under-examined repositories of cultural identity and indigenous knowledge. Part of the mandate of the Penny Journal was to popularize and explain to a general audience the ancient chronicles of Ireland. One of the magazine’s early editors was George Petrie, Head of the Memoir Section of the government’s Ordnance Survey in Ireland and prominent member of the Royal Irish Academy. Petrie had procured for the Academy the Annals of the Four Masters, a record of Irish history from the deluge (dated as 2,242 years after creation) to AD 1616, and it was extracts from the Annals that Petrie used as a way of reuniting his audience with their own past. The Annals retold the story of Ireland’s birth and death, a story filled both with glory and with ignominious defeat at the hands of the English. Though ostensibly listing the achievements of the Gaelic nobility, in Petrie’s hands the Annals also suggested that the Irish peasantry might, revenant-like, reclaim their own history, and the penny journal format — cheap, conversational, nationalist – made manifest this reconstruction of reality.

Abstract:

This chapter highlights the visual literacy of national territory and colonial space and makes clear the links between cartographic and scientific modes of reading colonial landscapes and the interpretation and containment of colonial peoples. The monetary value of English literacy within the British economy was doubtless an inducement to learn for many Irish. Literacy in English equipped the Irish to work and move throughout the British Empire, as well as allowing many to access the means for transatlantic immigration. This chapter argues that the history of the making of empire is also inextricably bound to the histories of science and cartography in the nineteenth century. Looking at the visual literacy of national territory and colonial space through the national surveys of Ireland and India undertaken in the period, it shows that the discourse and practice of map-making was shaped by the introduction of instruments known as ‘Colby’s Compensation Bars’ used to accurately measure baselines under challenging climatic conditions. The language and techniques of science were translated from Dublin’s Ordnance Survey to Dehra Dun where George Everest would use them in his baseline survey of India in the 1830s.

Abstract:

Megalithic tombs dating to the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (4000–2000 cal. BC) are a very distinctive aspect of the Irish landscape (Jones 2007; Scarre 2007). They are an important monumental aspect of this period and since the 1990s our understanding of this period has been complemented by an extensive record of settlement and related activity that has been revealed through development-led archaeology (e.g. Smyth 2011). A focus of antiquarian and archaeological interest since at least the nineteenth century, the basis of modern approaches to megalithic tombs includes the systematic Megalithic Survey of Ireland that was initiated by Ruaidhrí de Valera in the 1950s, under the auspices of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland (Ó Nualláin 1989; Cody 2002 are the latest volumes published) and the excavation of key sites, for example the passage tombs of Newgrange (O’Kelly 1982; O’Kelly et al. 1983) and Knowth (Eogan 1984; 1986; Eogan and Roche 1997; Eogan and Cleary forthcoming) in the Boyne Valley and Carrowmore in Co. Sligo (Burenhult 1980; 1984; 2001). Current work includes the excavation of individual sites, work on the sources used in tomb construction, reviews of particular megalithic tomb types, landscape and regional studies, archaeoastronomy and overviews for a wide readership. The known number of megalithic tombs on the island now approaches 1,600 and the majority of these can be categorized as falling into one of four tomb types whose names encapsulate key architectural features of each tradition, hence the terms portal tombs, court tombs, passage tombs and wedge tombs (Evans 1966, 7–15; Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, xiii). Unsurprisingly, much of the focus of archaeological research has been on the role of these monuments for the people and societies who constructed them. Issues such as the date of construction of different tomb types (Cooney et al. 2011) and the relationship between them have been central to key debates about the Neolithic, informing such major topics as the date and character of the Mesolithic to Neolithic transition, the changing character of society over the course of the Neolithic, mortuary rites and traditions, and the links between Ireland, Britain, and north-west Europe at this time (Cooney 2000; Bradley 2007; Waddell 2010).

Abstract:

In the second half of the nineteenth century two prominent scientists, working in two distinct specialties, identified the importance of atmospheric trace constituents as efficient absorbers of long-wave radiation and as factors in climatic control. John Tyndall conducted the first convincing experiments on the radiative properties of gases, demonstrating that “perfectly colorless and invisible gases and vapours” were able to absorb and emit radiant heat. Svante Arrhenius, in pursuing his interests in meteorology and cosmic physics, demonstrated that variations of atmospheric CO2 concentration could have a very great effect on the overall heat budget and surface temperature of the planet. It would be a mistake, however, to consider either of these individuals as direct forerunners or prophets of contemporary climate concerns. Each of them had extremely broad scientific interests and pursued climate-related research as one interest among many. Tyndall worked on absorption in the near infrared at temperatures far above those of the terrestrial environment. Arrhenius, who has recently gained renewed attention as the “father” of the theory of the greenhouse effect, held assumptions and produced results that are not continuous with present-day climate research. . . . The solar heat possesses, in a far higher degree than that of lime light, the power of crossing an atmosphere; but, when the heat is absorbed by the planet, it is so changed in quality that the rays emanating from the planet cannot get with the same freedom back into space. Thus the atmosphere admits of the entrance of the solar heat, but checks its exit; and the result is a tendency to accumulate heat at the surface of the planet. —John Tyndall (1859). . . John Tyndall was born in Leighlin Bridge, County Carlow, Ireland, on August 2, 1820, the son of a part-time shoemaker and constable. He attended the national school in Carlow and, at the age of eighteen, joined the Irish Ordnance Survey as a draftsman and surveyor. In 1842, as the Irish survey neared completion, Tyndall was transferred to the English Survey at Preston, Lancashire, but due to his protests against the survey’s oppressive policies and incompetent management, he was dismissed.
