A crucial factor in the study of the dindshenchas is to understand its date – or rather, the period in which it was formalized – and thus its context (Ó Concheanainn, 1981–2, pp. 88–131; idem, 1982, pp. 85–98). Indeed, it plays a decisive part in solving some of the questions raised by the rest of senchas. As a symbol of the later acculturation process between the established Irish clergy and the lingering pagan teachings and of the deep roots of senchas in Irish minds, identity and landscape, it plays a very powerful role on the literary scene of the Middle Ages in Ireland and deserves to be understood in this light.
