Building in Newpark Upper

Indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of ‘The Liberties of the Citty of Kilkenny’ as two stylised buildings, in a townland annotated as, 'New Park church land' and on the parish map of ‘The Parrish of St. Johns in the Liberties of Kilkenny’ two buildings, one definitely a house, are indicated (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). The 17th-century townland accords well with Newpark Upper townland. The precise location of these 17th-century buildings within the townland is unknown.
