Place & story

The field-name account

The Tullabracky field-name record preserved by Limerick Local Studies describes Raheen as containing about seventy acres of arable land, with the remainder classed as demesne. It places Raheen House in the western part of the townland and Rockbarton to the south. This is a historical description of an estate landscape; it does not describe present ownership or the townland’s modern division into farms. [2]
