Monasterredan Plot Number 13.

Today, this plot consists of the house and surrounding lands of the Terence Casey. The lands extend to the back of plot 12.

Griffith 1858.

At this time, the plot of land was owned jointly by John Casey and Thomas Casey. The most interesting thing about this plot is that is contained a school.

There was a hedge school here since before the famine. A more permanent structure was in place by 1858. It was valued at £1-5-0. But it was not the only school in the village at this time. Griffith reports that there was a boys and a separate girls school in Clogher. These are most likely the protestant schools. They were valued at £1-15-0 each, so were better structures in a better state of repair.

Along the road boundary at the edge of this plot, there was a old white-thorn tree, now long gone. This was known locally as "Watty's Bush" after an R.I.C. man killed in this area during the land wars.
