Early Irish maps at The National Archives (TNA)

 

TNA has made available for the first time online a collection of early Irish
maps (c.1558 - c.1610).  They depict plantations, fortifications and
townships from the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I.  The maps often name
the local chiefs and major families in an area, providing useful information
for family historians.  You can obtain more information at
