Place & story
Cultivation and remaining bog
Samuel Lewis described Annaclone’s land as fertile and intensively cultivated in 1837. He estimated that only about two hundred acres of bog remained and reported it becoming scarcer and more valuable. His observation places the bog within a changing agricultural landscape, without identifying a particular reclamation scheme or showing how quickly its extent was declining. [2]
