Small leather-bound volume of maps of Lixnaw, county Kerry and adjacent lands surveyed for Dudley Ryves by Charles Frizell Senior and Richard Frizell in March 1763. The book begins with an index of townlands, followed by coloured maps of each surveyed townland on a scale of 40 perches to an inch. Comments accompanying each map provide the names and sizes of individual fields within each townland, the overall quality and value of the land and recommendations for its use or for suitable improvements to increase quality or productivity. The pages have been numbered but the numbering runs sequentially on right-hand pages only and many of the numbered pages are blank.
