    [Aside] 1685 was an important year for music. Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti were all born in 1685. www.bachsocietybrasil.com

    Wikipedia has an older 1545 map showing how soggy it was ...
    See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Cork

    Edit - that Wiki page also has a 1714 map which marks the 'rectangular green area' as "Bowling Green".
