Historical Information

Although a building is shown at this spot on the 1835 and 1861 OS maps, it does not accord with the ground plan of the present one. The latter is probably of later 19th century date as it is depicted on the 1907 edition. Primary sources: 1. OS 6” map, 1st edition, Co Armagh sheet 29 (PRONI OS 6/2/29/1). 2. OS 6” map, 2nd edition, Co Armagh sheet 29 (PRONI OS 6/2/29/2). 3. OS 6” map, 3rd edition, Co Armagh sheet 29 (PRONI OS 6/2/29/3).
