What is recorded here

The Nesbitts of Derrycarne had Iron works in Annaghduff parish before 1830 (Flanagan 1972, 415) but the date of commencement is not known. The work might have been located at Dromod and an old furnace is indicated on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map in Furnace or Bleankinnew townland, just N of the village.
