How To Find Out When A Property Was Built?

Mr Creosote

Hello,

I am trying to find out some information as to when a property may have been built. It is a traditional Irish Cottage located in Co.Laois. I have been able to find it on the first ordnance survey map on the Ordnance Survey Ireland geohive website historical 6 inch map from the townland where it is located. The first ever ordnance survey of Ireland was carried out between 1829-1842 so it is as at least as old as that.

Just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions as to where I could look further?

Thanks for any advice / information.

unless its a listed building, youll be very lucky to find any records of a cottage build beyond 1829. if its linke dot any planned estate, you might some reference somewhere but unlikely to be able to corlate specifically to your cottage.
