Derrygoon Manor lies within Ardstraw parish. The survey of Derrygoon Manor indicates the amount (acres) of each type of land (i.e., arable, heathy green and mishy pasture, bog, etc.) within each section with a commentary by the surveyor about usability in general. The current leaseholder (if any) and number of houses is usually indicated. Sometimes the surveyor added up the number of houses for multiple plots together rather than indicating a separate number of houses for each plot.

The survey is split into two parts: first part is on LDS Microfilm #1885919, item13 (DGS #007909388, starting image 670) and the second part is on LDS Microfilm #1885920, item1 (DGS #007909389, starting image 004).

Note that the first few pages of the survey don't indicate a townland but based on the names of tenants, they could be referring to lands in Baronscourt.


FHL Microfilm #1885919, Item 13

Loose Note: Cut off Robert Kinkead's Farm 10 acres. Remains for John Gillespie 31 acres.
