@ihtaria.bsky.socialThe Round Tower remains the dominant monument of the monastic site. Visible across the surrounding countryside, it acted as a landmark within the urban landscape and emphasised the centrality of the church enclosure in the life of the town

@ihtaria.bsky.socialThe boundaries of monastic Kells were marked by monumental sculpture. The High Crosses stood at key points around the precinct and helped define sacred space. They served as visual markers for residents, travellers and pilgrims moving through the settlement

@ihtaria.bsky.socialAccording to tradition, St Columba founded a monastery in the 6th cent. Significantly, the monastery occupied an earlier enclosed site whose boundaries continued to influence the layout and curved streets of the later town

@ihtaria.bsky.socialKells derives from the Irish Ceanannas, a name possibly connected with an earlier royal fort or "head fort" (ceann lios). Long before it became a medieval town, the site was an important secular & ecclesiastical centre whose elevated position helped shape later settlement patterns.

@nordregio.bsky.social🗺️ Nordic economies may face common external shocks, but regional trajectories can be very different.
This #MapMonday maps annualised GDP per capita change across Nordic regions, 2019–2024. Cities are strong, but rural regions had the highest median growth.

@simongerman600.bsky.socialYou read a lot about The South China Sea as a current geopolitical hotspot. Have a look at this 1944 map from the US Navy to see that this isn't a new development at all. Really interesting map. Source: buff.ly/3EuXeLO #mapmonday
@goldwagnathan.bsky.socialLast minute #MapMonday bonus! I'm sure you're all sick and tired of this map by now, but I thought up names for all the new states I created and wanted to post a version with them, just so I don't forget later. 😅

@umichlibrary.bsky.socialDo you recognize any of these places on campus? This map of the University of Michigan Campus was hand-drawn in 1937. Can you spot any differences between now and then? #MapMonday https://myumi.ch/nVDM3
