Place & story
A surveyor’s farming account
The Ordnance Survey name-book entry for Williamstown describes arable land over limestone, with potatoes, corn, wheat and flax among its crops. It names John Croker as proprietor and records the land as let at will to one tenant. The account places Williamstown beside Ballynagarde and Arywee, grounding these historical agricultural details in this small townland rather than the wider Fedamore district. [2]
