Belfast and vicinity town plan 1:2,500 — Sheet 114-1 [Mossley and Monkstown]
A Troubles-era British Army map of Mossley and Monkstown, prepared by the Royal Engineers and printed in August 1978, during a period of repeated IRA attacks on police and troops. Its security additions to the Ordnance Survey base distinguish roofless ruins from habitable derelict buildings: potential hiding places for gunmen, weapons or booby-traps. Crossed symbols identify ruined buildings among the farmsteads. Archways flag covered passages; telephone boxes and Royal Ulster Constabulary stations receive separate symbols in the key. Orange roads and a 100-metre grid supported patrol navigation and precise reporting across railway halts, factories, housing and country lanes. Revised from aerial photography and Headquarters Northern Ireland information, this second edition carries a “Limited Distribution” notice restricting release outside government service.
