ABBEYSTROWRY, see under SKIBBEREEN
AUGHADOWN - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - AUGHADOWN, or AGHADOWN, a parish in the East Division of the barony of WEST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 3 miles (W.S.W.) from Skibbereen; containing, with several inhabited islands, 5419 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the north bank of the river lien, and comprises 7063 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £5400 per annum. Its surface is very uneven; in some parts, especially towards the north, it is rocky and unproductive; but near its southern boundary, towards the Ilen, the land is good and produces excellent crops. About two-thirds of it are under cultivation; the remainder is rocky ground and bog of which latter there is a considerable extent near Newcourt. The state of agriculture is not much improved; the old heavy wooden plough is still used, and some of the land is cultivated by spade labour; the fences everywhere much neglected. Several good roads intersect the parish, one of which is a new line from Skibbereen to Crookhaven, likely to be of considerable advantage. The Ilen is navigable for vessels of 200 tons' burden nearly to its eastern extremity a quay and storehouses have been constructed at Newcourt, but are entirely neglected, and the har bour is only frequented by a few sand boats, which discharge their cargoes there for the convenience of the farmers. The principal seats are Aughadown House, that of H. Becher, Esq., occupying an elevated site in the midst of flourishing plantations, and commanding a fine view of the western coast; Lake Marsh, of Hugh Lawton, Esq.; Whitehall, of S. Townsend, Esq.; Newcourt, of Becher Fleming, Esq.; the glebe-house, the residence of the Rev. T. D. Moore; and Holly Hill, of the Rev. J. Coppinger, P. P. Fairs for the sale of cattle, sheep, pigs, &c., are held on May 6th and Oct. 2nd. A manor court is held monthly by a seneschal appointed by Lord Carbery, for the recovery of debts under 40s.; and here is a constabulary police station. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Ross, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is partly impropriate in Lord Audley and partly forms the corps of the archdeaconry of Ross. The tithes amount to £600, of which £300 is payable to the impropriator and appropriator, and £300 to the vicar. The church, situated on the margin of the river, is a small neat edifice with a square tower, and was built by aid of a loan of £500, in 1812, from the late Board of First Fruits. The glebe-house is handsome and commodious, and is situated on a glebe of 45 acres. In the R. C. divisions this parish is the head of a union or district, which comprises also the parish of Kilcoe and part of Abbeystrowry, and contains two chapels, situated at Aughadown and Kilcoe, the former of which is a large and handsome edifice, occupying an elevated site near Currabeg. In addition to the parochial schools, there are schools at Whitehall and near Newcourt, also a pay school. In the demesne of Whitehall are the ruins of Kincoe or Kincolisky castle, built by the O'Driscols in 1495; and on the grounds of Lake View are some picturesque remains of an ecclesiastical edifice, called by the peo ple of the neighbourhood the Abbey of Our Lady.
Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - CALVES ISLANDS in the parishes of KILCOE and SKULL barony of WEST CARBERY county of CORK and province of MUNSTER 6 miles (S.W) from Ballydehob; containing 86 inhabitants. They are three in number and are situated at the entrance to Roaringwater bay off the harbour of Skull: the largest called the Middle Calf contains 78 statute acres; the second in size called the East Calf; contains 75 acres; and the third called Leacrer or the West Calf; 65 acres. There are two families in West Calf and six in Middle Calf which belong to the parish of Skull and five families in East Calf which forms part of the parish of Kilcoe. The islands are contiguous lying in a line nearly east and west about midway between Cape Clear and Long island and about 5 Irish or 6 ¼ British miles from the main land. A school was established in 1835 on the Middle island in which all the children and adults of these island may receive gratuitous education; 18 children and 14 adults were in this school at the commencement of 1836.
Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - HARE ISLAND, or INNISDRISCOL, in the parish of AUGHADOWN, Eastern Division of the barony of WEST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 7 miles (S.W.) from Skibbereen; containing 267 inhabitants. It lies off Turk Head in Roaringwater bay, about three-quarters of a mile from the mainland, and contains 155 statute acres, some of which are cultivated by spade labour.
Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - INNISBEG, an island, in the parish of AUGHADOWN, Eastern Division of the barony of WEST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 4 miles (W) from Skibbereen; containing 109 inhabitants. It is in the estuary of the river Ilen, in the bay of Baltimore, and comprises 214 statute acres, part of which is fertile and well cultivated. The surface is rocky and uneven, and the substratum is slate.
KILCOE - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - KILCOE a parish in the Western Division of the barony of WEST CARBERY county of CORK and province of MUNSTER 5 miles (W) from Skibbereen on the river Roaring Water and the road to Rock Island; containing 2316 inhabitants. It comprises 3232 statute acres as applotted under the tithe act and valued at £2030 per annum. The surface is rocky and uneven and not more than one-third of the land is in cultivation; the remainder consists of bare rocks of clay-slate intermixed with small tracts of bog; the land under tilliage is chiefly in small patches amidst the rocks and is generally cultivated by the spade; the manure is brought to it on the backs of horses and the produce carried off in the same manner; some of the higher grounds afford tolerable pasturage for young cattle. The scenery is wild and marked with features of rugged grandeur; the glen through which the river rushes with furious impetuosity forming numerous cataracts in its progress to the bay to which it gives name abounds with young and thriving plantations and is finely contrasted with the sterility around it. In this romantic glen is Roaring Water House the residence of J. O'Sullivan Esq. who has erected mills corn stores and quays on the banks of the river; and Greenmount of Capt. Long. Two manorial courts are held here monthly by the seneschals of the bishop of Ross and Thos. Hungerford Esq. respectively. The parish is in the diocese of Ross; the rectory is partly impropriate in Lord Riversdale and partly constitutes a portion of the archdeaconry of Ross; the vicarage is united with that of Cape Clear and in the patronage of the Bishop. The tithes amount to £300 of which half is payable to the impropriator and the archdeacon and half to the vicar. The church a small edifice for the erection of which the late Board of First Fruits gave £600 is nearly in the centre of the parish. There is neither glebe-house nor glebe. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union or district of Aghadown: the chapel is a large edifice situated near the Roaring Water. About 60 children are taught in the parochial school and there is a private school in which are about 80 children. On a point of land at the head of Roaring Water bay are the extensive remains of Kilcoe castle built by the McCartys lords of Clandermot and consisting principally of a large massive square tower with a small turret; and at no great distance close to the shore are the ruins of the old parish church. Several swords and spear-heads of bronze were found in 1825 by some labourers quarrying stone; they were all in good preservation.
Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - MANNIN an island in the parish of KILCOE Western Division of the barony of WEST CARBERY county of CORK and province of MUNSTER 8 miles (W) from Skibbereen on the south-western coast; containing 15 inhabitants. It is situated near the head of Roaring Water bay immediately off Kilcoe Castle and comprising about 29 statute acres of good arable land. —See KILCOE
Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - SCHEAMS ISLANDS, in the parish of AUGHADOWN, Eastern Division of the barony of WEST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 6 miles (S.W) from Skibbereen; containing 37 inhabitants. These are two islands situated in Roaring-water bay, and are distinguished by their position, East and West, the former com prising about 60, and the latter 34 statute acres. On the western isle, which is the more fertile of the two, are the remains of an ancient church or chapel.

(CE 29/5/1843) - SKIBBEREEN PETTY SESSIONS - SEA-WEED - PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE MALICIOUS TRESPASS ACT (Summary)
The names of the claimants and defendants are not given. ‘A great number of persons were summoned on informations sworn by different persons for cutting and carrying away sea-weed on the Skeam Rocks, and on Hare Island.' Messrs. Downing and Fitzmaurice, Attorneys for the Complainants. Mr. Jagoe, Counsel for the Defendants.
‘Richard Regan, sworn and examined by Mr. Downing – Knows James Barry and John Crowley; saw them lately cutting weeds above low water mark at the West Skeams; it is an island in communication with the main land; on Thursday week, the last Spring week. There were other persons; witness knows one man more, John Walsh; lives on the island since he was born; recollects it thirty ears; knows when it is high water and low water by looking at the water; when he saw Barry and Crowly it was a spell from low water; Barry was cutting weeds; Crowly was also cutting; is in the extensive possession of the weeds thirty years; they were cutting between high and low water mark at [nexp?] tides.
Cross-examined by Mr. Jagoe - Holds the lands from Mr. Samuel Townsend; has no lease, proposal, or writing; his father had it; Thomas Regan is joined in the ownership of the weeds; is not sure if his father has any writing now; …'
Thomas Regan, who stated that he was ‘cousin-german' to Richard Regan, was called as witness. Mr. Jagoe sought to prove that the weeds were worth one penny but Mr. Downing proved that they were worth one shilling. The defendants were fined half-a-crown each.
‘The next case called was, as entered in the Petty Sessions Book, Hart and others, against several persons, who were charged by defendant, with wilful and malicious trespass, cutting sea-weed on rocks at Hare-Island.
‘Mr. Downing called Michael Neil, who swore that he made the information then handed to him before Mr. O Donovan; he lived in Hare Island; has weeds attached to his lands; Florence and Jeremiah Neill are in partnership with him; is twenty years in possession; Jeremiah Regan was tenant before them to Mr. Becher; Mr. Long was also tenant; he saw Daniel Shanahan and Daniel Casey cutting weeds on Hare Island on the 13th of May; it was something less than half flood; when the tide was out the weeds couldn't be cut on the shore; saw Michael Collins a week last Saturday; saw Denis Collins; he knew them, but did not know their names; identified Michael Collins, Michael Harrington, Mr. Collins' crew.'
‘Jeremiah Neill examined by Mr. Fitzmaurice - Saw Michael and Denis Collins, and Daniel and David Finn cutting weeds; Michael Collins was holding the boat;…'
‘After a consultation, the magistrates called up all the persons whose names were entered in the book, and fined them five shillings each.’
(CE 13/5/1844) ABBEY, SKIBBEREEN - O CONNELL ANNUITY - Abbey, Skibbereen, May 9th, 1844 - MY DEAR SIR - I beg to transmit you a Bank Order for £11.4.2, the amount of the O Connell Tribute from this Union. This year's contingent would have been double what it is, but that I laid out large sums in improving our Chapels, and had to draw largely on a rack rented, but a generous and patriotic people, in order to establish Three National Schools in the Parish. - Fervently hoping that the Liberator of his country will not terminate his (to us) invaluable life within the precincts of a dreary dungeon, the sad victim of Saxon misrule. - I remain, my dear Sir, Very gratefully and faithfully yours, R.
