lay at Cloghatred, Inchmoore, and Kyllcroye. Strange to say, the Commis- 

 sioners were unable to find if the lands were inhabited (71-80). 



(23) The Deel Valley. — We now reach the lower valley of the Deel, 

 and the strongest castle and one of the chief manors of the Desmonds at 

 Askeaton, the ancient Iniskefty, which name is used for the last time in the 

 Inquisitions of this date. The Park of Kylgulbane, Farrencaheragh, 

 Moynerly, Knockderry, and other woods lay round the village. Ballyengland 

 or Ballyinglanna (now Castle Hewson) was then, as now, a thickly wooded 

 glen. The wood was called Kyllmoore ; while an oak coppice near the Deel 

 was appropriately named Derry-Shandyrrey ; the Islets of Ilan e Woghuill, 

 or the Bays Island and Islangore, or Goat Island, were covered with brush- 

 wood. There were several other thickets in the parish and on the border of 

 Lismakeery, where small patches abounded, several in each townland 

 (80-87). 



KiLBEADEAN. — In the Toghe of Drynan, in this parish, lay certain under- 

 woods, and the forest of Ballynedyrrey, probably of oaks. Three woods lay at 

 Arloman and Ballyany, the first being named Beallaballygwoll, " the bellagh 

 of the coales," which probably refers to the charcoal-burners, who doubtless 

 took a heavy part in stripping the country (9). Six woods lay between 

 Dunmoylin Castle and that at Monemoghill, over the edge of the low green 

 hills towards Luachra. There were nine little parcels of plantation near 

 Teermoore, and others at Lismacken, Morgans, Kancally, Foynes Island, and 

 Durenyshe. Belldyrrigg-verry, once an oak-wood, was then treeless; so was 

 Kilcosgrave ; but why the emphatic statements are made in these cases is not 

 clear. There was a wood at Leath, in Ballylawras, near Kobertstown, not far 

 from Foynes ; and two in Boherbradagh, which doubtless sheltered the robbers 

 that gave that place its name. 



(24) Shanid and Glin. — The oldest manor of the Geraldines lay farther 

 west ; and along the Shannon their territory extended to the still more western 

 castle of Glin or Glancarbry. Olybane, the name now lost, lay in Kilcolman, 

 near Shanid, with five woods, and underwoods and thickets ; Bealdorroo wood 

 Kyllolebane, with a quarry for building-stone and one for millstones (66). 

 An underwood lay in Killbegg, near Logheill, in the Glin district. 



The lands round Shanid itself were clear, save a (possibly holly) wood at 

 KyllnekuUenaghe, and one at Ballyhaell (99). Near Glin lay the woods of 

 Kylltollogeasse, Bellanecullena (holly), Killkeynarde, and five others (105). 

 Corgragg Manor, near Foynes, had woods, and '* growing underwoods " at 

 Dunmoylen ; while Aughinish Island had divers woods and underwoods. 

 Shanegoule or Shanagolden was also wooded. Other woods and underwoods 

 were on Aughinish Island, Glancorbry and Killeany, in the last, is again
