folded maps spanning the whole country (out of c.172
district maps published).

and were printed, some in Dublin, the majority at the OS
in Southampton, bearing printing dates between 1902
and 1914. Just under one-third of the maps incorporate
post-1945 revisions and were printed in Dublin between
c.1948 and c.1956. All but one map are coloured.
Light pencil or crayon notes appear on the margins of
some sheets relating to archaeological coordinates.
Condition ranges from fresh to used and dusty, with
occasional foxing.
