Monasterredan Plot Number 11.

Today, this plot consists of the majority of land in the village and goes up both sides of the Clogher Road. The village crossroads is in this plot.

Griffith 1858.

At this time, the plot of land was owned jointly by eleven different people with nine having houses on the plot. This plot is a good example of the old Irish "Rundale System". This meant that all the named were responsible for paying the rates. If one person defaulted, the the remainder had to come up with the money.

This system came about because the owner of the land saw nothing wrong with subdividing it among his sons so they could provide for their families. Often, land was also given as a dowry to a daughter who got married, even though she and her husband might live elsewhere. You can assume that all people involved in a "Rundale System" were in some way related unless, in the meantime, land had been sold or transferred elsewhere.

All of the above seems valid for this plot. Also of interest in this plot is the fact that Laurence Casey seems to have land to the value of three times anyone else and that Edward Parsons had a very substantial house but with only a garden.
