The writing of a history of a townland involves several steps. The first is to obtain maps of the townland and surrounding areas. A map of the county should be obtained to show the location in relation to the larger towns in the county. The next map that should be obtained is the townland map of the parish. This shows the location of the townland in relation to the other townlands in the parish. Once the maps are obtained a visit to the Valuation Office will allow holdings to be identified on the townland from 1857 until 1965.Sources to be used will include:
