Poleglass
Poleglass ()〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.placenamesni.org/resultdetails.php?entry=6849 )〕 is an area of West Belfast in Northern Ireland. It is the name of a townland, a modern electoral ward,〔(Councillors in the Dunmurry Cross Area )〕 and a housing estate. The townland is situated in the civil parish of Derriaghy and the historic Barony of Belfast Upper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thecore.com/seanruad/ )〕 It is mainly an Irish nationalist area.
Due to its proximity to both Belfast and Lisburn, it has become popular with commuters. This has led to the swift growth of housing in the area and a sharp rise in house prices. Addresses in Poleglass are classed as being in Belfast, and the telephone numbers in the area generally start with '90' as with the rest of Belfast.
==Early history==
The area currently known as Poleglass has a long history of human habitation, with a ringfort having existed in the area yielding artefacts from the early Christian era.〔Seán P. Ó Ríordáin, Ruaidhrí De Valera, ''Antiquities of the Irish countryside'', Taylor & Francis, 1979, p. 33〕 A thirteenth century silver coin was also excavated, suggesting an extended period of habitation.〔Raymond Gillespie, ''Early belfast: the origins and growth of an ulster town to 1750'', Ulster Historical Foundation, 2007, p. 35〕
By the early 20th century the area had become part of the green belt between Belfast and Lisburn and was largely uninhabited.〔William J. V. Neill, ''Urban planning and cultural identity'', Routledge, 2004, pp. 190–191〕 Cloona House was a stately home located in the area however until it was taken over by the Ministry of Defence in 1940. Subsequently passing into the hands of the local Catholic Church it has been used for a community projects and since 2011 has been occupied by Colin Neighbourhood Partnership.〔(Colin Neighbourhood Partnership at Cloona House )〕
