What is recorded here
Ballylynan,rahin held six cabins, a castle, an orchard and a church on a 1704 manuscript map, yet no exact spot remains named. The drawing preserves a complete small world: people eating, working, worshipping and defending within one valley. Forgetting the exact place does not empty it; it returns the cluster to the region that birthed it.
Unlocated settlement within townland that is indicated on 1704 mansucript map that shows 6 cabbins, 1 castle, orchard and 1 church (NLI ms 16M19) (Feehan 1983, 378-9).
