The Land-War In Ireland (1870)

CHAPTER X
13/50

As these ballyboes were not of equal extent, the English made the division of land by acres, and erected boundary fences.
The primate's share in this county was 2,400 acres.

The glebes comprised 4,650 acres; the College of Dublin got 1,200, and the Free School at Armagh 720; Sir Turlough M'Henry possessed 9,900 acres, and 4,900 had been granted to Sir Henry Oge O'Neill.

After these deductions, there were for the undertakers 55,620 acres, making in all forty-two proportions.
Number one in the survey is the estate of William Brownlow, Esq., which contained two proportions, making together 2,500 acres.

Pynar reported as follows: 'Upon the proportion of Ballenemony there is a strong stone house within a good island; and at Dowcoran there is a very fair house of stone and brick, with good lyme, and hath a strong bawne of timber and earth with a pallizado about it.

There is now laid in readiness both lyme and stone, to make a bawne thereof, the which is promised to be done this summer.
