X. The Inquisitions and Visitations. — These are exceptionally 

 satisfactory and numerous. AVe have AYilliam cle Burgo's and Miler 

 Fitz Henry's deeds, 1200-1201; Bishop Donat's Ordinance, 1204; 

 the Papal Taxations, 1291 and 1302 ; O'Dea's A^isitations and Taxa- 

 tion, 1410 and 1418-22; Peyton's Survey, 1586; tlie Valor Benefi- 

 ciorum, 1591 ; the Royal Visitations of 1615 (two) and 1633, and the 

 all-important Down Survey and Civil Survey of 1655-57. These are 

 fully utilised in this present survey, but the first is so important that 

 it demands separate notice. It was taken in 1201 by the Justiciary 

 Meyler fitz Henry, with a jury of twelve Englishmen, twelve Ostmen, 

 and twelve Irishmen, and is based on a slightly earlier list made by 

 the Governor, William de Burgo.^ 



It gives the churches and lands of the See as — Imlechdromggi

- Ardmafaelan Church, 1418. Ardmuillain, or Ardewelain, 1410 ; noted by 

 Father White as "forgotten," in 1650 ; Ardevolan, in 1615. 



^ Kylecomwohan, claimed by Margaret de Brestoll, 1298. Plea Poll 46 of 

 xxvii. Ed. I., m. 28. 



^ Perhaps CallahoM^ in CloncreM'. 



5 We must, however, remember there was a " Towlowglass " at Kyllfarisa or 

 Ivilfergus, in Toghe Glancorbrye, in 1586, Peyton, p. 105. 



^' The Cluain Claidech of the " Life of St. Aedan." This Inquisition marks it 

 as Mahoonagh, not as Cloncagh, which appears here as Cluonkai. Perhaps Cluain 

 Claidech survived in Cluayn Cliete (Xos. 50, 61, 83) ; in 1567 and 1597 it does 

 not, however, appear in Peyton's Survey. Clonekurvane and Clonefernagh adjoin 

 Mahoonagh, 1586. 



" Peyton, p. 174, gives Maymoore in"^Temple Clee or Athea, 1583. Atheaand 

 Moymore were granted to P. Collum, 1595; perhaps the last is the Magmor of 

 1201. 



Ardynwyr, next Leamkaill, or Loghill, in de Rupefort's rental, 1336. See also 

 grant of the Bishop of Limerick (1216-23), Ecc de Ardumir (B. B. L., p. 114).
