Balafark

A farmstead and area of cultivation shown to the south is depicted on Roy’s map (1747-55) and annotated as ‘Ballyfark’. A farmstead, now annotated ‘Balafark’, is depicted in a similar location on Grassom’s map (1817) and Thomson’s map (1820). A farmstead, annotated 'Balafark', is shown on the

Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1865-6), comprising an L-shaped building with a garden enclosure to the south-east and a small enclosure attached to the northwest side. Two sections of track leading to the farmstead from the public road are also shown. A similar layout is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1899) and 3rd (1923) Edition maps, with two additional buildings shown to the north and an additional enclosure. The L-shaped building appears to still be depicted on the 2001 Ordnance Survey map together with the farm access roads, with additional modern farm buildings shown to the north of the L-shaped building.
