As to most of the lay divisions, the earliest information we have, 

 which marks theix limits with any degree of distinctness, is derived 

 from the rentals of O'Brien and Macnamara,^ evidently con- 

 temporaneous, and the latter is stated to have been compiled (about 

 1390) for Maccon Macnamara, chief of Clancuilen, grandson of that 

 Lochlan who was executed at Lough Colmin in 1313, by Sir Richard 

 De Clare's allies of the Hy mbloid.
