took a ship with 150 butts of wine, besides iron and other goods, on the coast of 

 Brittany, slaying its owners and sailors. They brought her to Kinsale, where 

 the story got known ; so the Sheriff of Cork sent Milo de Courcy to take the 

 ship for the Crown. Philip de Barri of Carrydoogan and others armed and 

 took the ship, removed its cargo, held it against de Courcj', and got it away, 

 giving his supporters 3 butts (dolia) and 1 pipe of wine for their assistance. 

 Kinsale only rose to importance too late to affect the early maps, perhaps not 

 long before 1374, when it first returned members to Parliament. It was 

 walled 1381, and was granted Endelford and a rate on goods by Pdchard II 

 in 1395, and by Henry IV in 1409.' It appears as Guinsala from the Upsal 

 Map {ante 1450) down. Edward IV granted its sovereign and burgesses 

 control of the coast from the BuUman rock to the Durzees m 1482. 



Lessee Poets. — The smaller ports named on the early maps throw little 

 light on foreign intercourse. Henry III borrowed money from a ^yintner in 

 Aedglas. a 'prise of wines at Dungaevan in 1276 gives £16 for 8 tuns. 



Dalket.— In 1282 it shipped red wine to Are (Ayr) in Scotland for the 

 king's army. 



Ledengyn. — Dingle, or Daingean Uiehuis, in Kerry,- paid a substantial 

 sum of £121 to the New Custom in 1282. In 1293 a Custom of £8 on 

 40 hogsheads of Leybourne wine was paid there by Stephen Cruys. The 

 king in 1295' bade the sheriff of Kerry to forbid any victuals or goods likely 

 to be of advantage to the Scots to be taken by merchants out of Kerry " at 

 risk of their bodies and goods." 



Wykinglo, or Wicklow, a Norse settlement at an early promontory fort, 

 though its ancient enclosures are very small, appears in early Norman records, 

 and was a small town in 1225. 



There is bare mention of several of the other ports and coast towns. 

 Caelingfoed sent two galleys on messages for King John. The following are 

 mentioned, but no details of trade or shipping at the various dates : — Crack- 

 fergus, 1210; Luske, 1207 ;' Suerdes, 1279 ; Crocum (Crook, Waterford), 

 Henry II landed there; it appears in the Calendar from 1199; Clere Island, 

 Co. Cork, 1199 : Ban, or Bannum, the Bann, 1215 ; andPiachrun, or Piathlin 

 in the same year. 



Of inland places (though not relating to the maps) I must note the wine
