Civil Parishes In Ireland
Civil parishes () are units of territory in the island of Ireland that have their origins in old Gaelic territorial divisions. They were adopted by the Anglo-Norman Lordship of Ireland and then by the Elizabethan Kingdom of Ireland, and were formalised as land divisions at the time of the Plantations of Ireland. They no longer correspond to the boundaries of Roman Catholic or Church of Ireland parishes, which are generally larger. Their use as administrative units was gradually replaced by Poor_law_union#Ireland, Poor Law Divisions in the 19th century, although they were not formally abolished. Today they are still sometimes used for legal purposes, such as to locate property in deeds of property registered between 1833 and 1946. Origins The Irish parish was based on the Gaelic territorial unit called a ''túath'' or ''Trícha cét''. Following the Norman invasion of Ireland, the Anglo-Normans, Anglo-Norman barons retained the ''tuath'', later renamed a parish or manor, as a un ...

Killallon
Killallon civil parish is situated in the barony of Fore, County Meath. It has an area of 7,626 acres. Etymology The parish was originally named after the early Irish church founded there in the 6th century by Saint Dallán Forgaill. The Preface to the Amhra Coluim Cille states Dallán composed the poem in County Meath. The original name of the church was ''Cill Dalláin'', meaning 'The Church of Dallán'. The Irish name was later corrupted into different spellings such as Killalon, Killaloone, etc. John O'Donovan (scholar) in his Ordnance Survey Letters for Meath stated- ''The parish of Killallon is called by the Irish 'Cill Dhaluain' i.e. Ecclesia Daluani or Cella Sancti Dallani''. The patron saint of the parish had been changed by 1836 to Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, probably by the later Norman landowners, but O'Donovan said this change of name was not unusual. Paul Walsh in 'The Placenames of Westmeath' disputes O'Donovan's interpretation and claims the parish is named aft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barony (Ireland)
In Ireland, a barony ( ga, barúntacht, plural ) is a historical subdivision of a county, analogous to the hundreds into which the counties of England were divided. Baronies were created during the Tudor reconquest of Ireland, replacing the earlier cantreds formed after the original Norman invasion.Mac Cotter 2005, pp.327–330 Some early baronies were later subdivided into half baronies with the same standing as full baronies. Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898. Subsequent adjustments of county boundaries mean that some baronies now straddle two counties. The final catalogue of baronies numbered 331, with an average area of ; therefore, each county was divided, on average, into 10 or 11 baronies. Creation The island of Ireland was "shired" into counties in two distinct periods: the east and south duri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
