2001

article
Etchingham, Colmán, “North Wales, Ireland and the Isles: the Insular Viking zone”, Peritia 15 (2001): 145–187.  
abstract:
This paper deals with the historical evidence for political ties between north Wales, Ireland (especially Dublin) and the Scottish Isles in the pre-twelfth century Viking Age. Selected aspects of the relationship in the eleventh century, already illuminated in various degrees by recent scholarship, are reviewed. The position before the eleventh century, which has received comparatively less attention of late, is here the subject of detailed study.

article
Etchingham, Colmán, and Catherine Swift, “Early Irish church organisation: the case of Drumlease and the Book of Armagh”, Breifne: Journal of Cumann Seanchas Bhreifne 9:37 (2001): 285–312.  
abstract:

Were we dependent on the pre-Norman Irish annals alone, we should know nothing of the early history of the church of Drumlease, near Dromahair, Co. Leitrim. Like many of the other churches of Connacht, Drumlease suffers from the comparative neglect of the western province's early ecclesiastical history on the part of the surviving collections of annals. The ‘Patrician’ texts in the Book of Armagh, however, provide a snap-shot of Drumlease in the later seventh and eighth century, indicating that it was a church of considerable significance in north Connacht at that time. This study comprises two parts. The first, by Colmán Etchingham, introduces the references to Drumlease in the Book of Armagh and examines in detail the relevant passages of the eighth-century text known as the Additamenta. The second part, by Catherine Swift, places Tírechán's reference to Drumlease in the broader context of that seventh-century clergyman's portrayal of the Patrician churches of Connacht in general.
