Historical Information

A building is shown at this location on the 1834 OS map. However, as its valuation was less than £5, it is not cited in the accompanying valuation book. There is no change in its £1.10s.0d valuation between 1863 and 1908, when it increases by £1. This may indicate an extension. Sources: 1. OS 6" map (1834) Co Armagh Sheet 26 (PRONI - OS 6/3/26/1); 2.
