Ballynahinch is not a bloody town! It ain't even a village!

This is a slight problem we have for a few small locations in Ireland (smaller than true towns, or indeed villages) that have articles on Wikipedia. In order that people find the articles, we've used the term "town" in its broadest sense, to encompass actual towns as well as villages and "townlands".
The issue has arisen before at Wikipedia:Irish Wikipedians' notice board, but if you would like the issue revisited, perhaps you should comment on that page.

[edit] History

The history section says: "The first inhabitants in the Galway are arrived there over 7000 years ago. Shell middens tell us about the existence of people as early as 5000 BC."

What are shell middens - is it meant to be shell mittens? Cormaggio @ 14:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry - please ignore - I never knew the word midden before - ah well.. Cormaggio @ 14:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
