Two peel towers marked at Knockardnegal (Petty 63). Cnockardne- 

 galliagh held by Bart. Stacpole and Jas. White (C.S., xxviii., p. 81). 



13-18. Caheedatin- and other castles adjoining (5). jS'ot marked. 

 1614 Cahirdavy held by T. Comyn (Inq. Exch.). 1655 Petty's map 

 63 shows the following C.s — (13) Caherdaveo;, a peel tower with 

 tall battlements, and a house attached ; (14) Cloxdrinagh, a large 

 tower; (15) Cloxecak-ane, a large tower, with side turret; (16) 

 'Shan-abolie, a small gabled tower; (17) Clon-emakinmoee, a battle- 

 mented tower, with a flagstaff; (18) Cloxmackixbeg, a battlemented 

 house, with a tower to each side. IS'one of these exist. 



19. CoREEN OR CooNAGH (5). Site marked. 1655 Counnagh, a 

 gabled peel tower, marked (Petty 63). It was held by Barnaby Earl 

 of Thomond (C.S.,fexviii., p. 79). Falric — A fragment of the west 

 wall, 18 feet high, 2^ feet thick, stood in 1840. 



20. Balltxantymoee (5). Site marked. 1665 It is probably the 

 peel- tower of "MoUish" at Ballineaghtenmore (Petty 63) ; probably 

 Mealish, held by Sir James White (C.S., xviii., p. 79). 



21. Cashlaux-ka-Corran- (5). Marked. The Castle on the 

 Laxweir, though assigned to County Clare, is in the middle of the 

 Shannon, and historically belongs to Limerick. It is the lower 

 part of an old building, retaining a sort of corbelled bartizan and 

 some of the original window-slits, but evidently defaced and 

 modernised. The Laxweir fisheries evidently date from iN'orse 

 times. They were granted to "W. de Braosa in 1215. Eecords are very 

 numerous, but make no allusion to the tower. ^ 



South SrsuRBS of Limerick. 



Two peel towers are so closely connected with Limerick that, 

 though respectively to be assigned to Clanwilliam and Pubblebrian 

 baronies, we may give them here. 



St. Patrick's. 



22. Eeboge, or K^g's Island (5). JS^ot marked. 1590 T. Arthur 

 at his death owned the C. of Eebogge orKeibieg (Inq. Exch. 14). 1633 

 Nic Arthur held Rebucke C. lb., Car. I., 112). 1657 T. Arthur held 

 a ruinous C. there (C.S. xxix., p. 32, and D.S.A., 13). 



1 I hope eventually to deal with these fisheries, for which there is much material. 

 {Several have yet to be located : where, for instance, were Sownycockogyogeese 

 and Sownygockogybegshone, used down to 1624 ?
