Irish dindsenchus >  or Dindsenchas or Dindshenchas (modern spellings: Dinnseanchas or Dinnsheanchas or Dinnṡeanċas), meaning "lore of places"[1] (the modern Irish word dinnseanchas means "topography"),[2] is a class of onomastic text in early Irish literature, recounting the origins of place-names and traditions concerning events and characters associated with the places in question. Since many of the legends related concern the acts of mythic and legendary figures, the dindsenchas is an important source for the study of Irish mythology. Dinnseanchas can also refer to an Irish journal which discusses placename meanings.

Something we as Druids should seek to know and understand better. Where ever we are. Both the History and the Genus Loci, which requires talking to the land.
