Place & story
One house marked uninhabited
The 1911 census lists one house in Curraghduff and marks it as uninhabited. Its earlier population columns record eight people in 1891 and six in 1901, with one house in each of those years. The townland was entered under Rathgormuck parish and electoral division, in Upperthird barony and Carrick-on-Suir Union. Its recorded area was 1,706 acres, two roods and four perches. The table does not explain when the house became empty or why. [2]
