Schauplatz der Macht: der anglo-normannische Park in Earlspark, County Galway, Irland von Fiona Beglane
Dieser Artikel untersucht die archäologischen und historischen Belege für einen Park aus dem 13 Jahrhundert in Earlspark, Loughrea, County Galway. Er ist die erste veröffentlichte detaillierte Untersuchung eines aus der irischen anglo-normannischen Periode stammenden Parks, und die Stätte, die etwa 2 km südlich der Stadt Loughrea liegt, ist außerordentlich gut erhalten. Sie wurde 1333, einschließlich ihres Wildbestandes, urkundlich erwähnt, und Feldforschungen auf dem Gebiet haben den Park identifiziert, der von einer mit Mörtel zusammengefügten Steinmauer definiert wird, die 7,4 km lang und bis zu 2,60 hoch ist.

Teatro del potere: il parco anglo-normanno di Earlspark nella contea di Galway in Irlanda di Fiona Beglane
Questa pubblicazione esamina le testimonianze archeologiche e storiche relative al parco di Earlspark del XIII secolo a Loughrea nella contea di Galway. Si tratta del primo studio particolareggiato di un parco irlandese del periodo anglo-normanno a essere pubblicato e il sito, che si trova a circa due chilometri a sudest della città di Loughrea, è in un eccellente stato di conservazione. È documentato nel 1333, compresi i suoi cervi, e la ricognizione archeologica ha individuato il parco, delimitato da un muro in pietra e malta alto m 2,6 che si estende per 7,4 chilometri.
