Place & story
Surveying Milltown
Milltown Heritage Group’s account of the 1838 Ordnance Survey name books records a triangulation station at the northwestern end of this townland. The same account gives its area as 102½ acres, including about five acres of bog, and identifies its proprietor as W Laurance of Newtown Laurance. It also preserves the spelling Myltown. These details belong to the historic survey, rather than a description of present ownership or land use. [2]
