Place & story
Four townlands within the town
The original 1911 census lists Castlemaine townland as nine acres, one rood and thirty-nine perches in Kiltallagh parish. A footnote explains that Castlemaine town stood across Annagh, Castlemaine, Gransha Lower and Meanus townlands. The town’s estimated area was twenty-seven acres, with its area and valuation included in those townland entries. The namesake townland therefore represents only part of the settlement. [2]
The wider town’s population
The separate town entry records 127 inhabitants in 1911, sixty-two male and sixty-five female. Its thirty-three houses included twenty-six inhabited and seven uninhabited buildings. Those totals cover Castlemaine town across all four townlands; they are not a population or house count for Castlemaine townland alone. [2]
