Index of Placenames of the Desmond Survey. The following index contains all the placenames mentioned in the Desmond Survey; see http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/E580000-001/index.html The index is made for Limerick purposes. No real attempt has been made to identify places in adjacent counties, those entries are marked simply “in Co. Kerry” etc Personal names in the Survey are included in the “Who was who of early modern Limerick” at http://limerick.ie/media/Who%27s who of Early Modern Limerick.pdf These are useful for cross-referencing places; i.e. where a placename is unrecognisable it may be possible to identify a variant of the placename elsewhere in the Survey at another reference for the tenant. While some such cross-referencing has been carried out, I am certain that other instances remain to be identified. In some cases it has been possible to identify the location of placenames that no longer exist, by using the Civil Survey of 1654. If the Desmond Survey gives a parish name, then it is sometimes possible to identify that same name in the Civil Survey and from the mearings given there work out an approximate or even exact location. I have done this on a fairly unsystematic basis so far, so there is great scope for further work here. Another useful tool for helping to identify places, is the index of townland names for Co. Limerick http://limerick.ie/media/Townland Index.pdf I have tried to collect all variant spellings and paragraph references in the one location. Each variant spelling is directed to that one location. I have deliberately chosen to retain the paragraph references at each variant as well as incorporate them into the main location. That is for ease of finding a particular variant one may be interested in. Wherever it has been able to to identify a name as a modern townland name every variant is to be found there. I have used Ordnance Survey standard spellings. Names that survive as townlands etc. are marked in bold; names in italics are outside Co. Limerick. Abbreviations used; b. Barony, fn. Footnote, t. Tuath/toghe, td. Townland, p. Parish and CS Civil Survey. A question mark,?, as the single entry by a name means there is no information to allow it to be identified/located. Otherwise question marks graded from ? To ??? mark increasing tentativeness of an identification. This work should be seen as open source; a potentially collaborative effort. Ideally it should kick start people researching in and around the Survey, and should lead to other identifications, corrections etc. If you have found this to be useful and have the means to improve it, then contact me.
