As this is in the Gaeltacht, the Irish Barr Rúscaígh is the only official name. The anglicized spelling Barroosky has no official status.

Barroosky (also spelt as Barroskey or Barrooskey. Irish: Barr Rúscaígh, meaning "top of the undulation")[1] is a Gaeltacht townland within the civil parish of Kilcommon in County Mayo, Ireland.[2] It is located within the ecclesiastical parish of Kilcommon-Erris.[3] Barroosky townland has an area of approximately 1,923 acres (7.8 km2).[2]

Barroosky is also the name of the electoral division (ED) in which the townland lies.[2] As of 2022, Barroosky ED had a population of 96 people.[4]

History

Farm shed in Barroosky

In Irish folklore, Barroosky is mentioned in the epic tale of Táin Bó Flidhais. It also is mentioned in a popular Erris folktale called the Fool of Barr Rúscaígh as part of the year of the French celebrations.[5] In 1911, the population was recorded as 34.[6]

In September 1922, during the Irish Civil War, the Battle of Glenamoy took place nearby.[7]

Agriculture and geography

The area in which the Barroosky lies on is mostly covered in peaty, blanket bog which covers much of the North Mayo coastlines of Kilcommon and the Barony of Erris.[8]

Glenamoy bog

The Glenamoy bog complex, which spans parts of Barroosky,[9] is a large site situated in the extreme north-west of Erris, County Mayo.[10] The area, which incorporates both inland and coastal regions, has a wet and oceanic climate and there are frequent strong winds across the largely treeless and relatively exposed area. The bog complex is drained by four main river systems - the Glenamoy, the Muingnabo, the Belderg and the Glenglassra rivers. Extreme oceanic blanket bog dominates the site in its inland areas.[8]

Sheskin forestry

Barroosky is situated near to the Sheskin Forest (not to be confused with Sheskin, County Monaghan) which stretches from near Ballycastle to Bellacorick. The forest is a large area of conifer forest plantation established on the bog lands of north Mayo.[11] A hunting lodge built by the McDonnell family and later owned by the Jameson family, now in ruins lies there.[12][13][14]

In physical cosmology, a protogalaxy, which could also be called a primeval galaxy, is a cloud of gas which is forming into a galaxy.

Solar thermal enhanced oil recovery

Solar thermal energy Solar thermal enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated solar EOR) is a form of thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a technique applied by oil producers to extract more oil from maturing oil fields. Solar EOR uses solar thermal arrays to concentrate the sun's energy to heat water and generate steam. The steam is injected into an oil reservoir to reduce the viscosity, or thin, heavy crude thus facilitating its flow to the surface. Thermal recovery processes, also known as steam ...
