The Antiquities of County Clare: Ordnance Survey Letters 1839

by John O'Donovan

The Antiquities of County Clare is derived from the Ordnance Survey Letters compiled in 1839, and is based on a typescript of the original manuscripts for County Clare, which were prepared in 1928 under the direction of the Rev. M. O'Flanagan. The Clare material is of special interest as two of the greatest Gaelic scholars of all time, Eugene Curry from Kilbaha, County Clare and John O'Donovan from Slieve Rua in County Kilkenny, participated in the survey. The letters give detailed accounts of every parish in County Clare, with the information included ranging from origin of place names to local lore and legends.
