[edit]

Hi! Looking at the sources and maps, I think someone missed (or rather added) here - the hill is actually Shelmartin. I used to walk there and sometimes saw Sheilmartin, and yes Shielmartin, but I see Fingal Co. Co. also call it Shelmartin... 109.188.204.246 (talk) 17:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to have a mention of that form of the name. Autarch (talk) 19:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a case for showing 2-3 forms of the name. The "most official" should name the article, and that would be, I guess, the one used by the national mapping authority, Ordnance Survey Ireland. Anyone got access to their online "map shop" which previews maps from the first survey (1837?) to today? 109.188.196.57 (talk) 06:33, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to point to the site in question - selecting "Historic" shows a map with "Shelmartin". (Historic B&W merely seems to be the same map at a lower resolution.) It shows the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, putting it maybe as early as 1827, but it's not linked over the Liffey. In fact, the map refers to the Dublin and Drogheda Railway as being in progress, suggesting that it may be as late as 1844.Autarch (talk) 19:39, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
