What is recorded here

Deserted settlement in County Limerick, Ireland, near the River Shannon. A Down Survey map shows a gabled house and cluster of dwellings, but the place has not been located on the ground. Whatever lived there has sunk back into pasture and memory.

In low-lying pasture, c. 0.8km to E of the River Shannon. Depicted as a gabled house (LI005-049001-) standing beside a cluster of dwellings on the Down Survey barony map of North Liberties (Hib. Reg.). The Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) suggested that the unnamed buildings shown on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map may have been the site of the Down Survey cluster of dwellings. However the scale of the Down Survey map is insufficient to precisely locate this possible settlement without supporting archaeological remains. The precise location of this possible settlement depicted on the Down Survey barony map remains unlocated. See attached Down Survey map of the barony of North Liberties.
