The Desmond Survey, a lost manuscript of Professor John A. Murphy’s, is today (June 11th 2009) being launched online at the Irish Conference of Historians in Limerick.
Originally transcribed for publication in the 1960s but never put in press, this is a large survey of County Kerry which the crown undertook following the death of the earl of Clancarty in 1596. Upgraded from old galley proofs by researcher Emer Purcell, it is now online at CELT http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/E580000-001/index.html complete with splendid maps of the MacCarthy lordship.
