...and the Dorans are still most numerous in this area today, with the placename ‘DORANSLAND’ in WEXFORD providing EVIDENCE of their long association with the area.

I have searched numerous sites that deal with placenames but have not been able to find any info. I've even contacted companies that make maps and no one seems to know where or even if this place still exists.

Can you help me? Recommend some websites that I may have missed?

Thanks for your time.

I assume that Doransland is probably an estate or neighborhood name associated with Kilmuckridge itself, as I don't see the name on the Discovery map 69 anywhere close to the town. You might ring-up the property agent and ask them?

The only spelling I am aware of is Doransland...

I have not found any reference to a townland called Doransland in Co Wexford. I have checked out -of -date townland names and it is not there either. The only reference to Doran in Wexford townland names are Glandoran and Mandoran. I would apprecaite your original spelling of Doransland or where it came from.
