Box of leases of Ballindarra, barony of Ballybritt, on the outskirts of Birr. [Sometimes these, in common with other leases of suburban or rural townlands in King’s County, include in the same lease premises in the town of Birr. There
is therefore a good deal of inevitable overlap between the King’s County and Birr runs of leases. Within each townland or denomination there is also a good deal of duplication, because when renewable leases expired, the tenant’s original was returned to the Estate Office and often survived there along with the Estate Office counterpart.]
