About: Some confusion reigns about the birthplace of Charles Guilfoyle Doran, but as he was baptised in Knockananna with a probable birthplace of nearby Knocknaskeagh, we shall claim him as a West Wicklow native. This article from Carloviana provides a nice introduction to his life as an engineer, nationalist, historian and book collector (to name just a few of his attributes). Most of his life was spent in the Cobh area of Cork and he was heavily involved in the construction of the cathedral there as well as participating in public life.

About: This is a short report on two ringforts before they were due to be submerged by the creation of the Poulaphouca Reservoir. One was in Balyknockan and the other in the townland of Burgage More. The author, a professor of Archaeology in UCD, concluded that no serious loss would be incurred by them being underwater.
