오란모어(Irish: Oran Mor 또는 Uaran Mor)[2]는 아일랜드 서부 해안 갈웨이 카운티의 갈웨이 시 근처에 있는 마을이다. 마을이 있는 시민 교구와 로마 가톨릭 교구의 이름이기도 하다.

오란모어는 갈웨이만의 입구인 오란모어 만 가장자리에 있는 갈웨이 시에서 동쪽으로 9km(5.6mi) 떨어져 있다.

어원

오란모어는 우아란 모르 또는 오란 모르의 성공회화다.[2] 오란모어의 첫 번째 서면 기록은 사대부 연보에 있다.[3] 원래는 푸아란 모르(Fuaran Mor)라고 불렸는데, 아일랜드어로 "위대한 봄"이라는 뜻이다. 본촌의 서북쪽으로의 샘을 일컫는 이름이다. 2010년 오란모어 지역사회 개발 협회에 의해 봄의 역사를 요약한 이중언어 안내 표지판이 세워졌다.

역사

프리 히스토리

오란모어 교구 지역에 선사시대 정착을 위한 증거로는 다수의 풀라흐트 피아드(프랑스 포트랜드), 링포트(린 타운랜드), 메가알리스틱 구조물(가룬 사우스 타운랜드) 등이 있다.[4] 1857년에 완성된 토지 조사인 그리피스의 밸류에이션은 이 지역에 있는 여러 가지 구조(때로는 구어체, 집단적으로는 요정 포트로 알려져 있다)를 보여준다.

중세 교회 유적

중세 로마 카톨릭 교회의 붕괴는 오란모어 마을에서 가장 오래된 건물 중 하나이다. 그것의 북쪽 벽은 교회와 그 묘지를 둘러싸고 있는 울타리의 일부를 형성한다. 그 교회는 13세기에 만들어진 것으로 여겨진다. 만약 사실이라면, 이것은 AD 1169년의 초기 앵글로-노르만 침공 이후 1세기 반까지 지어졌다는 것을 의미한다.[5]

The existing remains measure approximately 32 feet by 72 feet, however, there is evidence that the church was larger at one time. Some grave markers in the adjoining cemetery have no discernible name or date. Other graves have been marked with pieces of the fallen church walls. The oldest grave stone, with a discernible date inscription, is a Celtic cross dated 1661. It is no longer in its original location, but is instead lying on top of another, newer stone slab.[5][6]

There is a gated section within the graveyard set aside for the Presentation Sisters, an order of teaching sisters who established a convent in Oranmore in 1861. Some interments occurred within the ruined walls of the actual church.[5]

Oranmore Castle

Main article: Oranmore Castle

Oranmore Castle is a tower house which was originally associated with the Norman Clanricarde family. It was built around the 15th century, reputedly on the site of an earlier structure.[7]

St Mary's church

Oranmore's public library is in the deconsecrated St Mary's Church building

Completed in 1803,[8] St Mary's is a large church building with a bell-cote above the front door and an elaborate ceiling. In 1972, it was replaced as the local parish church with the newer, larger Church of the Immaculate Conception. St Mary's was deconsecrated and converted to become the town's public library. Its carved baptismal font was moved to the new church, but the graveyard was left intact.[9]

Economy

The focus of industry has shifted from dairy agriculture to tourism, manufacturing and logistics.[10] Oranmore has four hotels and 23 restaurants.[citation needed]

Railways

Oranmore railway station opened on 1 August 1851, closed on 17 June 1963. A new station was built 1.4 km west of the original station and was opened on 28 July 2013.[11][12] Trains connect directly with Galway, Athenry, Athlone, Portarlington, Kildare and Dublin Heuston, as well as on the Western Rail Corridor to Ennis and Limerick.

Education

Oranmore has three primary schools, Scoil Iosaif Naofa, Scoil Mhuire and Gaelscoil de hÍde. Calasanctius College, founded in 1861 by the Presentation Sisters, is the secondary school in Oranmore.

Transport

Oranmore village is near the old N6 Galway to Dublin road and the old N18 from Galway to Limerick. The M6 Motorway connects to the existing road at Doughiska, as well as connecting with the M18 at Glenascaul. The former N6 leading into Oranmore has been reclassified as the R338 regional road. The M18 motorway was officially opened on 27 September 2017 and connects to the M6 at Rathmorrissey at a three-level interchange. This road runs close to Oranmore but does not connect directly to it, and instead, motorists have to access it using the R381 at Kiltiernan or the M6 at Rathmorrissey.

Bus Éireann, Citylink, and Nestor Bus services through Oranmore serve Galway, Dublin, Cork, and Dublin and Shannon Airports.

Oranmore aerodrome was a Royal Air Force base in World War I. It later became a civil airfield serving the city of Galway. It was the site where many British and Irish troops lost their lives and there is a ceremony in Oranmore each year to remember them.

Sport

Oranmore-Maree GAA is the local GAA club, and has won a number county titles across several age groups, including a Galway Senior Hurling Championship title in 1933 and All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship title in 2019. The club fields teams in Gaelic football, hurling and camogie. Naomh Mhuire Ladies Football Club, Oranmore Maree fields ladies' Gaelic football teams from under-10 to minor and junior.[citation needed]

Galway Bay Golf Resort is based in Renvile, Oranmore,[13] and has been named best golf resort in Connacht 10 times.[citation needed]

Maree/Oranmore Soccer Club was founded in 1988. Other clubs in the area include the Oranmore Badminton Club, Maree Badminton Club, Maree Basketball Club, Oranmore Judo Club and Galway Bay Sailing Club. The latter is based in Renville, Oranmore.[14] Junior "Park Run" events are run on Sunday mornings.[15]
