Merlin Park, Merlinpark, Co. Galway

Merlin Park, on the eastern edge of Galway city, carries a name that prompts an obvious question: what connects a wooded demesne on the west coast of Ireland to the most famous wizard in the Arthurian tradition?

The answer is not entirely straightforward, and the name may owe more to older Hiberno-Norman or Gaelic placename layers than to any deliberate romantic invention, though the question remains pleasingly open.
