Historical Information

Although a building is shown at this spot on the 1835 OS map, it does not share the ground plan of the present one. It is probably of mid 19th century date as it is shown on the 1862 map and its rateable valuation (10 shillings) does not change thereafter. Primary sources: 1. OS 6” map, 1st edition, Co Armagh sheet 31 (PRONI OS 6/2/31/1). 2. OS 6” map, 2nd edition, Co Armagh sheet 31 (PRONI OS 6/2/31/2). 3. Second Valuation, Co Armagh, Newry Union (published 1864; MA dates from 1862). 4. Valuation Revision books (PRONI VAL 12B/15/13A-D).
