 Wadding (Inq. Chan., 15a, 6b). 1641 Callow C. (Dep., 437). 1655 

 It and Ballymurrisheen held by Fra. Borstye (C.S., p 62).

 (Plea E., 34, m. 63). 1586 The C. and mill on the Dylebegg River 

 held by Maur. Lee, the Earl's doctor (Peyton, 78, 179) ; he had 

 pardon, 1577 (Fi. 3086), and still held the hamlet of Argoole, with 

 Argoolebeg and BooUiglass, at his death, 1588. His son Edm. married,

306. Stoneville (20). "Tower" marked on new maps. It 

 seems to correspond to ffarrenrye (C.S., p. 62). It may be the C. of 

 Ardgowlebegg, or that of Cloghatrida, which townlands adjoin 

 (see 316, infra). 



Fabric. — The C. is a featureless and modernised building noted in 

 1840 (O.S.L., 8, p. 11), but not on old map.
