Description:
Griffiths Primary Valuation of Rateable Property in Ireland is commonly known as Griffith's Valuation. The valuable sidekick to this edition is The Householder's Index to Griffith's Valuation. Between 1849 and 1850 the land in County Kilkenny was surveyed, under the direction of Richard Griffith, for the purpose of establishing the level of rates (local tax) payable by each landholder or leaseholder.
