Joel Mokyr's Data
Number of Farms: by County, 1841
Farm Size: by County, 1841
Social Indicators: by County, 1841

I have combined the data in the above table in an Excel 5.0 spreadsheet. Depending on the software available to you, and on how your web browser is configured, you may be able to retrieve the spreadsheet. Joel Mokyr, Professor of Economics at Northwestern University graciously made the data available. He originally used them for his study, Why Ireland Starved: A Quantitative and Analytic History of the Irish Economy, 1800-1850 (London. George Allen and Unwin, 1985).
