trust (Pat. E., Deeds P.R.O.I.). 1642 Sir Hardress Waller was 

 besieged for six weeks by Gen. P. Purcell, and surrendered for want 

 of water. He describes tbe place as having a fair large stable, one 

 story high, built of stone with fair timber-work ; the repair of the C. 

 and barbican cost £300. He gives a long and very interesting list of 

 goods, furniture, stock, &c., including 20 niusquets, fowling-pieces, 

 callivers, and a harquebush (Dep., 287, 290). 1657 The D.S. gives a 

 view of the C. (D.S., B., 17).^ It was forfeited by Waller as one of 

 the judges of Charles I., having signed his death-warrant. Granted 

 to Sir H. Ingoldesbye, but remained still in possession of Waller's 

 descendants. The modern house is on the C. site. 



145. Balltgleaghan, Hollypark, in Curragh Chase north (20). 

 Marked. Identified by the mearings given in the Civil Survey.- 1569 

 The C. of Pelleglohane surrendered to the English (C.S.P.I.). In 

 that year Edm. f. David of Balligillighan was pardoned, and his fine 

 remitted for good service under Sir Humphrey Gilbart (Fi. 1463, 

 see Inq. Exch., 11). 1580 After the fall of Carrigfoile C, the followers 

 of Desmond fell back before Pelham, burning Askeaton C. and Baile 

 Ui Geileachain C.^ It was burned in April (A.F.M., Carew, ii., 

 pp. 240-243). Carew calls it Ballogellohan C. ; it was held by Ger. 

 mac Thomas and Edm. mac David (Ei. 3767 ; Inq. Exch., 11). 1583 

 Ed. mac David mac Ruddery held, under the Knight of Glin, the C. and 

 villof Ballygollyghan, Ballygleaghan, or Ballygyilyghan, in Kyllkurnan 

 in Kenry (Des. E., 35b). Edward's son Thomas succeeded him in 

 1588 (Inq. Exch., 21, 25). 1591 Grant to Beston andBostockas part 

 of Seignorie of Castletown (Fi. 5444). 1604 Tho. f. John Geraldine 

 (Knight) of Glin held Bally Ilighane (Inq. Exch., 8). 1655 Gen. 

 FitzGerald held Ballygleaghane (D.S.B., 17 ; C.S., xxvi., p. 20). 1668 

 Granted to Duke of York, 1703, sold to W. Taylor,* of Burton and 



1 Plate XIII. 



^ As so many place-names have been altered in this parish, I may note 

 others identified by C.S. Ballyhetrick is Crokers' Park ; Ardloman covers Boher- 

 boy, Blossom Hill, and Stonehall ; and Ballygleaghan is Curragh Chase, north. 



' O'Donovan is satisfied, "by Camden and Cox," that this is Ballyloghane in 

 Ardagh (Index, A.F.M.) ; but Cox cites Camden, and has no independent authority ; 

 ^nd Camden and Hollinshead are not borne out by C.S. P. I., Carew, or the Surveys. 

 It is also inconceivable that the Irish returned to Ardagh after retreating, with the 

 English in close pursuit, to Askeaton.
