dc.descriptionThe Irish annals are one of the most important and remarkable sources for the history of Ireland, and can be demonstrated to run reliably from the seventh to the seventeenth century AD (Smyth, 1972) when the encroachment of English colonial rule resulted in the dissolution of their centres of preservation and recording, which had been mainly undertaken, though probably not exclusively, in monastic communities across the country (Mac Niocaill, 1975). In essence, the annals are yearly descriptive calendars of notable events in Ireland, and commentators have drawn comparisons between these and the type of material presented in contemporary newspapers (Byrne, 1987) exhibiting the characteristics of on-the-spot reporting (? Cu?v, 1987). The goal of this article is to provide a brief introduction to the Irish annals as a whole, commenting on issues such as their origins, character, and importance, along with the motivations for their recording. Taken within this context, a selection of some of the more unusual celestial and environmental entries in the annals will be presented and discussed.en
