- made by John Norden between 1609 and 1611 Preserved in State Paper Office, London.This map was presented to me by Mr. Patrick Mortland a few years ago. He found it amongst old papers and books in his home in Ballygonnigan, Castlefin. It is almost entire, the piece representing the south west having been torn away and lost. It measures 27” by 20”I have endeavoured to trace out that part of it, that represents “Tirconaill.” The red and black inks are as shown in the copy.The map, on the whole, is a totally different shape in comparison with what we have now and is practically shown as a complete oblong – Tirconaill Connaught and South West headlands on the same line of Longtitude.The original is in my possession, and I have pasted it on a sheet of cardboard, in order to preserve it.(continues on next page)
