BOHERBUE- Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – BOHERBEE or BOHERBUI, a village in the parish of Kilmeen, barony of Duhallow, county of Cork and province of Munster, 5 miles (W) from Kanturk; the population is returned with the parish. This place is situated on the new line of road recently constructed by Gov ernment, and leading from Roskeen-Bridge, through King-William’s-town, to Castle-island. The village, from its advantageous situation on the road above mentioned, and also near the junction of the roads from Kanturk to Newmarket to Millstreet, promises to become a place of some importance. A police barrack has been lately erected by Mr. W. Allen, for the accommodation of the constabulary force stationed here; and the R. C. parochial chapel, a large slated building recendy erected, is situated in the village. —See Kilmeen.
KILMEEN - Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – KILMEEN, a parish, partly in the East Fractions or the barony of MAGONIHY, county of KERRY, but chiefly in the barony of DUHALLOW, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 3 miles (WS.W) from Newmarket, on the river Blackwater, and on the new road from Roskeen-bridge to Castleisland; containing 8322 inhabitants. It comprises 32,105 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, about one-fourth of which is arable land; of the remainder, which consists chiefly of mountain pasture and bog, a large portion is now likely to be brought into cultivation, and the state of agriculture improved, by means of the facilities afforded by the Government roads recently constructed through this pr wild and almost impass able district. A court for the manor of Castle McAuliffe is occasion ally held, in which debts not exceeding 40s. late currency are recoverable. The principal seat is Woodview, the residence of J. McCartie, Esq., situated in a well-planted demesne. A portion of the Crown estate of Pobble O’Keefe, now in progress of improvement, is within the limits of the parish. It is in the diocese of Ardfert and Aghadoe; the rectory is impropriate in the Earl of Donoughmore, and the vicarage forms part of the union of Droumtariffe, in the gift of the Bishop. The tithes amounting to £740, are payable in equal por tions to the impropriator and the vicar. In the R. C. divisions it is part of the union or district of Boherbee, which also includes small portions of the parishes of Droumtariffe and Nohoval-Daly. The chapel at Boherbee is a spacious modern building: there is also a chapel at Cushkeem or Cuscian. About 130 children are educated in three pri vate schools. Of the ancient castle of McAuliffe, once the chief seat of the sept of that name, the foundations alone can now be traced. —See BOHERBEE and KING-WILLIAM’S-TOWN.
Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – KING-WILLIAM’S-TOWN, a village, recently erected by govern ment, in the parish of NOHOVAL-DALY, barony of DUHALLOW, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 9 miles (S.E.) from Castle-Island, on the river Blackwater, and on the new government road from Castle-Island to Roskeen Bridge; the population is returned with the parish. It is situated nearly in the centre of the crown lands of Pobble O’Keefe, comprising about 9000 statute acres, which formed part of an extensive territory forfeited by the O’Keefes in 1641, and have since remained in the occupation of the lessees of the crown. On the expiration of the last lease, granted about a century since to the Cronin family, it was determined by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, on the recommendation of their surveyor, Mr. Weale, to retain the estate in their own hands; to commence a series of experimental improvements in draining, planting, building, &c.; and by the construction of new roads to render accessible this hitherto wild, neglected, and uncultivated district. For these purposes the com missioners were empowered, by an act passed in 1832, to appropriate , 17,000 from the revenues of the crown, to which the Grand Juries of Cork and Kerry added presentments amounting to £7937. The works were accordingly commenced in Sept. 1832, under the super intendence of Mr. Griffith, the government engineer; and after considerable progress had been made in the intersection Of this mountain district by two important lines of road (noticed in the article on the county of Cork), the erection of the village was commenced on the eastern bank of the Blackwater, on the road to Castle-Island, which here crosses the river over a handsome stone bridge of two elliptic arches. It chiefly consists of a row of neat houses with shops, and of dwellings for workmen, situated on the northern side of the road; at the western extremity near the bridge is a commodious dwelling- house with suitable out-offices, at present occupied by the sub-engi neer, but intended for an inn, on the completion of the model farm-house now in course of erection near the village, which will be his future residence. Immediately opposite is a neat garden and nursery, extending to the river, which, though formed in the centre of a deep bog, has produced flowers, vegetables, and seedlings of a superior description, and from which nearly 50 acres of mountain land have already been planted. To the east of the nursery garden a handsome school-house in the Elizabethan style has been erected; it is sur mounted by a cupola and its front ornamented by a clock; and it is in contemplation to erect a chapel, with a residence for the priest. The village is well supplied with water from a well on the Kerry side of the river. Three substantial farm-houses have been erected in the vicinity for tenants of the ‘estate, in lieu of the miserable mud cabins which they previously occupied; and, as the land is gradually reclaimed, oth ers will be erected on different parts of the estate, of which nearly 100 acres have already been brought into cultivation on an improved sys tem, and made to produce excellent crops of grain and potatoes; and about 60 acres of mountain land have been drained for meadow and pasture. A vein of culm has been lately discovered and worked to a considerable extent for burning limestone, of which a large supply is obtained from the quarries at Carrigdulkeen and Taur, in the adjoin ing parishes of Kilcummin and Clonfert. A branch road to Mount Infant is in progress, to complete the direct communication with the former quarry, and with the roads to Killarney and Millstreet; a road to Newmarket is nearly completed; and it has been suggested that a cross road should be made from King-William’s-town to open a direct communication with the limestone quarries at Taur, and to form a junction with the new road between Abbeyfeale and Newmarket.
NOHOVALDALY - Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – NOHOVAL-DALY, a parish, partly in the barony of MAGONIH’Y county of KERRY, but chiefly in that of DUHALLOW, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 6 miles (N.W) from Milistreet, on the river Blackwater; containing 3229 inhabitants. It comprises 16, 225 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £6720 per annum. The portion belonging to the county of Kerry forms part of a district called, in the civil divisions, the “East Fractions.” The arable land is of medium quality, and there is a considerable quantity of marshy bog. The parish comprises the greater part of the Crown estate of Pobble O’Keefe, on which the village of “King-William’s-town” has been recently erected by Government, and considerable progress has been made in draining, planting, and other improvements, noticed in the article on that place. The new Government road from Killarney to Mallow commences at Shanogh Cross, on the Kerry side of the parish, and at the distance of about a quarter of a mile crosses the Blackwater over a handsome stone bridge, called Duncannon Bridge; it traverses the southern part of the parish, running nearly par allel with the river, and at Clonbanin, in th adjoining parish of Cullen, forms a junction with the other new line of road from Mallow to Castle-Island, which passes through the northern part of the parish. The old road from Shanogh Cross to Mount Infant is now being extended to the last-mentioned road at King-Williams’s-Town, thus forming a direct communication between those two new and important lines of road. At Knocknagree is a large flour-mill, and four fairs are annually held there, of which the principal is that on the 28th of April. During the disturbances of 1822, a detachment of the miii tary was stationed at this village. The parish is in the diocese of Ardfert, and partly impropriate in the Earl of Donoughmore; and the vicarage forms part of the union of Drishane. The tithes amount to £280, of which one-half is payable to the incumbent, £9. 2. 3. to the dean, and the remainder to the impropriator. In the R. C. divisions it is partly in the union or district of Boherbee, but chiefly in that of Knocknacoppel, or East Kilcummin: there is a small chapel at Knocknagree. About 120 children are educated during the summer in two private schools, and the late Mr. Cronin of the Park, near Killarney, has recently bequeathed £30 per annum for the establishment and sup port of a school in each of the parishes of Kilcummin and Nohoval Daly. There are some vestiges of the old church in the burial ground.
