It is the property of Gunwell French, Esq., and is held by Charles Kirwan, Esq., on a lease of 999 years at the yearly rent of £1 8s. 6d. per Irish acre. Mr. Kirwan sublets a part at from 20s. to 33s.6d. per acre, yearly. The soil is part light, and part wet clay; it provides good grazing. Farms are in size from 1 1/2 to 140 acres. The tenants are Roman Catholics. There are here two ancient forts, one of which is in the west side of the td. and the other in the north side.
When searching for a placename type some or all of the word and click search. If you are unsure of the spelling try a part of the word . For example the placename Mocharra sounds like Moharra so if you search for arra you should find it. For example a placename record ( eg Rostaff ) gives the townland ( eg Moyne ) and the civil parish ( eg Shrule ) .
