Abstract
This source is a good introduction to the variety of rural Irish settlement patterns.

He provides a general overview of problems and theories concerning Irish rural settlement, with an examination of work by earlier researchers. Also covered are methods of investigating the origins, distribution and development of rural settlement patterns.
