Local historian, Shane Gilleran shared this Map and Reference Documentwith us. We thought you would all like to see it.
Shane tells us” this is a very impressive map of Kilteevan meticulously hand sketched. The teacher and author was Patrick Ryan. What makes the map stand out is the clarity, and in depth detail and lay-out of the townlands, big houses, roads, buildings and shops in the parish in 1938”.
We now know that the roads through the Cloonlarge and Cloneigh boglands were built in the late 1930’s as Road z.z and y.y are referred to as New Roads. There are many other interesting historical details on this map.
Thank you Shane- these documents clearly demonstrate the importance of recording local history for future generations.
