46. Eallin-agaede (22). IS'ot marked. 1320 Probably Wallygard 

 in Camartliy (see 39, supra). 1540 Baile na cceard, estate of Maoilre 

 Burke (Rental). 1567 Held by Ulig Bourke (Fi., 1050). 1583 

 Ballynogerd C, by W. Bourke (Des. R., 27). In 1587, his son 

 Edmond entailed it on his sons Walter and John (Inq. Chan., Car. T., 

 53b). 1632 This Walter settled it on his sons Walter, Theo., and 

 Edm., and died 1633 {Ih. 111). Theo. was transplanted, 1653. He 

 had married Marg. Lysaght, and owned the C, 1655 (C.S., xxi, 

 p. 35). 1653 Capt. Faithful Chapman held C. (Acct. Bk.). 1680 

 Dyneley {loc. cit.) sketched it, and shows a peel tower four stories 

 high. He tells how a daughter of the Bourkes sprang from a 

 window 16 yards high to escape a forced marriage. " She afterwards 

 married the man she so avoyded, and lived happily." It belonged 

 1680 to John Croker, j.p., in whose family it since continued. We 

 leave to students of folklore the curious legends of Satan's visit to it. 



Eedamoee, 



47. WiLLiAMSTOWN (22). Marked. Perhaps Ballywillin^ C, 1583 

 (Des. R., 37). 1625 Theo. or Tibbott Bourke, Williamstown C, 

 except the " Geist Hall" (Inq. Chan., Car. I., 11). 1636 John, his 

 son, held a room in it, with the bawn and a stone house in the 

 north part of the C. {Ih., Car. II., 180). 1655 Lord Brittas, Dr. T. 

 Arthur, and others claimed the C. and bawen (C.S., xxi., p. 35). 

 1666 Granted to Col. Clayton and W. Matthews, except the middle 

 story, confirmed to Dr. Arthur's daughters (Act Sett.). 



Fabric. — Fitzgerald describes it as a tower without outworks (I., 

 p. 297). It was repaired and modernised by the Crokers, so 

 O'Donovan failed to find it in 1840 (O.S.L. 8, pp. 151, 366). 



ROCHESTOWX. 



48. RocHESTOWN (22-23). Xot marked. 1540 Baile an Rois-

 C. (Des.R.,37). In 1655 it is called Longford (D.S. A., 14). 1666 Con- 

 firmed to Col. Clayton, and 1678 to Dr. Arthur's heiresses (Act Sett.). 



49. RocKSTOWis^ (22). Marked. 1583 Ballynecarrig C. held by 

 W. Bourke (Des. R., 37). 1600 Jas. Gould held C. of Ballynecarrygie 



^Its identity M-ith BallywilKn is uncertain, as " Ballinwilly " was an alias 

 for Carrigparson (see section 58, infra). 



^Eockstown Church was omitted in the Survey— Proc. R.I. A., xxv. (C), 

 No. 8. It has since been described and illustrated by Mr. J. Grene Barry in the 

 Journal of the Limerick Field Club, vol. iii., p. 38.
