Place & story
A creamery in the land records
Darragh’s creamery appears in the valuation revision books for Darragh North. Kathy Roughan’s study identifies it on lot 24 in a 1953 entry, held by the Dairy Disposals Board. This is a record of the creamery’s presence at that date, rather than evidence of when it first opened. [2]
A small burial ground
The Clare Cillín Survey records a burial ground at Lismulbreeda in the Darragh South area. Its field survey describes stone grave markers on a low mound within a ringfort, close to the L4224. The authors estimate 35 to 40 graves but caution that paired headstones and footstones make a precise count difficult. [3]
