Came across the place place name Lisalbana in 3 separate 1st Magherafelt Presbyterian baptism records from the 1820s/30s on RootsIreland.
I have no idea where this place is as it's not listed as a townland on https://www.townlands.ie/londonderry/magherafelt/ (https://www.townlands.ie/londonderry/magherafelt/) and Google doesn't turn up much either.
I did find another 2 references;
a Soldier listed from Lisalbana, Magherafelt who died in WW1 https://eddiesextracts.com/rohpci/rohmagherafeltunionrd.html (https://eddiesextracts.com/rohpci/rohmagherafeltunionrd.html)
a 1950 marriage indexed on British Newspaper Archive "Mr James Paul. son of Mr. and Mrs. Lennox Paul, of Lisalbana. Magherafelt"
Anyone have any idea where this place is?

Wow that was fast! :o That's great thank you! ;D

That site is good to use because you have options to help find the townland.

I got as far as Lisalbanagh Road to the south of Magharafelt on a map but it then disapeared ::)

I checked Irish maps Geohive http://map.geohive.ie/mapviewer.html
Found it on the Historic 6 inch B&W (1837- ?)- but it does not deliver a URL I can post
-
It translates as the "fort of the Scotsmen".

Last year I complained about this, you could post a link on the old version, (and it had a few other useful functions) I was told they were working on it. ::)

The townland map that I posted the link to earlier shows more or less the same info.

The PRONI Historical Maps viewer is also good to look at Lisalbanagh.

Do you have the fantastic old OS map collection that NLS have for GB?
(I appreciate that Townlands wouldn't be included)

See https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/about-proni-historical-maps-viewer
While townlands are almost all compact units, it is possible to find parts of a townland in different civil parishes. Townlands can vary enormously in size from a few acres to over 7,000 acres. In Northern Ireland there are over 9,000 townlands. This application reflects current townland boundaries.

Thanks for the update. I'd wondered at the absence of a URL which certainly used to be delivered. I agree that the old version had advantages. This and PRONI are an excellent resource.
