• The Down Survey of Ireland

  A free online resource made available by Trinity College Dublin.

  The Down Survey of Ireland (1656-1658) was the first ever detailed land survey on a national scale anywhere in the world. The survey sought to measure all the land to be forfeited by the Catholic Irish in order to facilitate its redistribution to Merchant Adventurers and English soldiers.

  There are two main components to this website. The Down Survey Maps section comprises digital images of all the surviving Down Survey maps at parish, barony and county level. The second section, Historical GIS, brings together the maps and related contemporaneous sources - Books of Survey and Distribution, the 1641 Depositions, the 1659 Census - in a Geographical Information System (GIS). All these sources have been georeferenced with 19th-century Ordnance Survey maps, Google Maps and satellite imagery.
