Ag an am, bh\u00ed an talamh \u00e1 n\u00edoch\u00e1n ag screamhuisce ilchothaitheach agus tharla coinn\u00edollacha anaer\u00f3bacha.

Th\u00e1inig formh\u00f3r na bportach ardaithe chun cinn i gcontaetha l\u00e1r t\u00edre – U\u00edbh Fhail\u00ed, an Iarmh\u00ed, an Longfort, Laois, Ros Com\u00e1in, Tiobrad \u00c1rann agus Cill Dara – agus i gcontae na Gaillimhe agus Oirthear Mhaigh Eo san iarthar.

In 1979, mheas Hammond go raibh 310,000 heicte\u00e1r (750,000 acra) cl\u00fadaithe ag Portaigh Ardaithe i dt\u00fas agus i l\u00e1r na 1800\u00ed.
