Place names in Ulster by Jonathan Bardon
Originally published as Investigating Place Names in Ulster (1991) this excellent small guide is a practical research tool and a superb introduction and essential reading for anyone making a foray into the origins of the place names of Ulster.
This book provides a guide to the interpretation of place names in Ulster, gives historical background and explains the origins of many of our place names. Place Names in Ulster is a doorway into a hugely interesting subject exploring the richness of our heritage of place names and how these reveal so much about our landscape, people, flora and fauna, and so much else.
