Place & story
Maps of the townland
The National Library of Ireland’s Farnham Papers catalogue lists a January 1868 survey of part of Mullaghdoo, made by J McCollum & Son for Lord Farnham’s estate. Later maps record individual holdings: John Elliott’s in 1877 and William McHoughe’s in 1879, both surveyed by Richard Stronge. These separate records preserve the names and dates attached to particular pieces of the townland, rather than a single map of the whole estate. [2]
