TEMPLEMORE.

The parish of Templemore, sometimes called Temple Derry ['Ceampull *Ohoifiel, and more anciently Derby ["Ooiiiel, or Derry Coldmbkillb [*Ooip.e Chotuim Citte], derives its first and most usual name — Templemore — from the Irish ceainpubb mop,, or “ great church” — ceccmpuU. [temphm] being derived from the Latin, like most other Irish words expressive of Christian edifices, offices, rites, and ceremonies. This name was originally applied, in a popular sense, to the cathedral, or “great church” of Derry, in contradistinction from the smaller churches in its immediate vicinity; and, after the cathedral had become the parish church, its popular name — Templemore — was in a similar manner transferred to the parish. There is every reason, however, to believe that the use of this name is not of very ancient standing ; for it appears from the Irish annals that the cathedral, or Templemore, was not erected till 1164, and it is probable that it was not used as a parish church till some centuries later. Its more ancient appellation — Derry — would therefore still be the more correct one, and it is generally so called in ecclesiastical records down to recent times.

The most ancient names of the district in which this parish [Templemore] is situated were Farran Neid

■peaixann Hero, or the land of Neid, — and Tir Ely — 'Cip, CCitig, or the country of Aileach. Of these names the former is derived by Irish writers from Neid Mao Indai, a provincial king of the Tuatha-de-Dananns, who had

his palace on the hill in Inishowen, now called the Grianan, or Grianan Ely, and anciently CCiteac Hero, and

the latter name was derived from the palace of that monarch. At the commencement of the 5th century, when a large portion of Ireland was partitioned by the monarch Niall (called of the Nine Hostages,) among his twelve sons, this district became the patrimony of his son Eogan, or Owen, from whom it received the name of Inishowen — -Itiif 6‘ogain, or Owen’s Island — being nearly insulated by the two arms of the sea, called Lough Foyle and

Lough Swilly. The ancient and natural southern boundary of this peninsula extended from Castleforward

anciently called Ciiit-m ac-an-cp.eoin — on Lough Swilly, by Lough Lappan, now Port Lough, to Carrigins, on the Foyle, and included the whole of the present parish of Derry, or Templemore. After the erection of the abbey at Derry, by St. Coluiubkille, a portion of this ancient district, lying immediately adjacent to it, was given as a support to that establishment ; and hence the territorial boundary of Inishowen, as a temporal lordship, became changed so as to exclude the island of Derry and the other church-lands. This change appears evident from the Inquisition taken at Derry, in 1609, before a jury composed of resident English, and of Irish natives of the principal ancient septs of the district, who were impannelled to ascertain among other matters the extent of the possessions of Sir John O’Doherty and his son Sir Cahir, as lords of Inishowen. Their return was, “that the auntient and knowue meares of the countrey of Inishowen, als O’Doghertie’s countrey, to the south and southeast, are and have bene tyme out of mynde as followetb, viz. from the pte or braunch of Lougliswilly on the west and southwest pte of Birl thorough the midst of a bog which exteudeth to Loughlappan [O’Lappan’s Lake], and soe thorough the midst of that lough, and soe alongst the midst of a small river, fallinge into Loughlappan, from a well or springe uppon Mullaghknockemona, and from the topp of that mountayne the meare extendetkthorough a small bogg which r uneth alonge the topp of the hill of Ardenemahill, and soe to the top of the hill of Knockenagh, uppon the east pte of which hill ariseth the streams of Altbally Hc Eowertie which runneth ameare betweene Bally Mc Roioertie in Enishowen and pte of the lands of the Derry and Garrowgarle, to the cawsy, under Ellogh, and soe down thorough the bog to Loghswilly, and from the foresaid cawsy the meare of Inishowen aforesaid is thorough the midst of the bogg to Louglifoue.”

Thus it appears certain that Sir John O’Doherty was in possession of all the townlands within the parish, the churchlands excepted, as belonging to his territory of Inishowen. These townlands were Ballyarnett, Ballymac- grorty, Ooshquin, Laharden, and Elaghmore — all which were upon a surrender confirmed to him by letters patent in the 30th Elizabeth. In 1599 Sir John O’Doherty rebelled, and forfeited all Inishowen ; but it was afterwards regranted to his son, Sir Cahir, “ the said quarter of Ballyarnett, the half quarter of Laharden, on which the said castle of Coolemore is built, together with three hundred acres of land to the said castle allotted and apperteyuinge, only excepted.” In 160S Sir Cahir also rebelled, and, his letters patent therefore becoming “null and voide,” his whole property was granted to Arthur, Lord Chichester, of Belfast, by letters patent bearing date the 20th of November, in the 19 th James I. It appears from au Inquisition, taken at Donegal in 1625, that Lord Chichester being thus seized of these possessions, leased them to Faithfull Fortescue, Knt, Arthur Usher, Tristram Berrisford* and Charles Points, and to their heirs and assigns.

The townlands belonging to the abbey of St. Columbkille were Ballougry, Battymagowan, Battynagard, Bally- nashaUog, Greevagh, Killea, Midlennan, Termonderry (now Londonderry), aud Termonbacca. These, with the exception of Ballyuagard and Ballyuashallog, formed the Fifteen Hundred Acres, or Quarter Lands.

The quarter of Craggin and Drumniurny, aud the half-quarter of Courneglogh — both which seem to be included in the present townlands of Greggan. and Edenballymore — belonged to the bishop ; and the townland of BaUyna- galliagh, as its name imports, was a part of the property of the nunnery of Derry. — (See Inquisition, taken at Derry in 1609.)

It has not been discovered whether the townland of Shantallow was ecclesiastical or temporal property, as the name does not occur in the Inquisitions. The remaining rural townlands— Cloughgla&s, Pennyburn, Sheriff's Mountain, Springliitt, and Springtown — are only modern subdivisions of earlier denominations.

The ancient topography of the district being thus pointed out, the next most important object of statistic research is the investigation of the orthography and etymology of the names of the townlands, into which the parish is now divided : and, as several of their constituent terms are of constant occurrence in Irish topography it will be expedient to dilate on them when they first occur, especially as the view here taken of their origin differs in some important instances from that usually adopted.

. R raay also be necessary to premise that the term townland is now applied in a more general sense than anciently. The Irish .designation baile btacac — victuallers’, or farmers’ town— originally denoted a tract of land, which constituted the thirtieth part of a cfiioca ceuo, or barony,— and all the lesser divisions were known by the various appellations of quarters, half-quarters, ballyboes, gneeves, tates, &c. In the Ordnance Maps, however, in accordance with the prevailing usage, all these names of subdivisions are discarded, and the term townland is applied to every such denomination, whether great or small.

The boundaries of the townlands laid down on the Ordnance Maps having, in accordance with the act 6 George TV. c. 99, been shewn by the local government, guided by the present usage in collecting the grand jury rates and cess, it will often happen that boundaries, so laid down on the Maps, do not exactly coincide with those of earlier denominations, and new subdivisions will sometimes occur. A great diversity is also found in the manner of spelling the early names of townlands, and their subdivisions, used in various authentic documents. The consideration of the etymology of these early names, and their collation with the most approved spelling in modem use have therefore been a subject of anxious care, and the endeavour has been to adopt, as far as modern usao-e would permit such a mode of spelling as would preserve the greatest identity with the best authorities ; and, ° as a further aid m this identification, the various modes of spelling, with the authorities on which they rest, are given with the respective names. •

CITY OF LONDONDERRY.

Cm of Londonderry. — Derry, in Irish *Ooi|te — the popular name of the place — means literally a “ place of oaks,” but is also used to express a “thick wood:” it is so explained by Colgan (1645) — an Irish topo- grapher of the highest authority — in his Acta Sanctorum : p. 566 \recte 562J. This word, however, was not topo- graphically used by the ancient Irish without the addition of some distinctive epithet, as in 'Ooip.e bp opera n, X)oipe LopAin, &c. : thus the original Pagan appellation of this place was “Ootpe C algetic, or Derry-Calgach — the “ oak wood of Calgach,” — Galgach, which signifies a “ fierce warrior," being the proper name of a man in Pagan times, and rendered illustrious as Galgacus in the pages of Tacitus. In support of this etymology may be adduced the high authority of A dam nan — abbot of Iona, in the 7th century — who, in his Life of his predecessor, St. Columbkille, invariably calls this place “ Roboretum Calgagi ,” in conformity with his habitual substitution of Latin equivalents for Irish topographical names. For a long period subsequent to the 6th century, in which a monas- tery was erected here by St. Columbkille, the name of Derry-Calgach prevailed ; but, towards the latter end of the 10th century, it seems to have yielded to that of Derry-Columbkille — no other appearing in the Irish annals after that period. In subsequent ages, when the place had risen in importance above every other Derry, the distinctive epithet Columbkille was dropped as no longer necessary j and such is the effect of long established usage that the English prefix London — imperatively imposed by the original charter of James I., and preserved with pride by the colonists for a long time after — has likewise fallen into popular disuse. Indeed this mode of abbreviation is usual in Ireland, whenever the name of a place is compounded of two distinct and easily separable words : thus, in the counties of Antrim and Down, Carrickfergus is shortened into Garrick, Downpatrick into Doum, Iniscourcy into Inch, &c.

It may, perhaps, not be unworthy of remark that the English prefix London, and the original Irish name Derry, are equally traceable to a Celtic — or, more correctly, Scythic — origin ; and that by a enrious coincidence, the word London seems as graphically descriptive of the modern locality as Derry was of the ancient. By Lltjvd, and other British etymologists, it is interpreted the “town of ships,” from long in British, and Irish, “ship,” — and dinas in British, or nun in Irish/* fortress,” — (the dunum of the Homans,) which is the root of the word “town," This derivation is, however, merely conjectural ; and the Celtic compound Lonn -nfm, signifying a “ strong fortress,” is as likely to have been the original signification of London. Either explanation is, however, curiously applicable

to Londonderry, or Lunivoun-noipe, which would mean in Irish what the English have really made the city tho

“ship town," or “fortified town, of Derry and it may be added that an etymology similar to the former may be found in the name of an ancient fortress, a few miles higher up the river, called “Oun net long — “ fortress of ships,” or “ town of ships,” as it has been preserved to the present time.

i. City of Londonderry.

Considered as a townland, the City, or more correctly the Island, of Derry appears to have anciently home the name of Termonderry, or the Sanctuary of Derry, and to have constituted one of the seven quarters of erenach or termon land, called “ the 1500 acres.” Thus, in the license to grant leases, granted to Bishop Bramhalland the mayor and corporation of Londonderry by the lord lieutenant and privy council, in June, 1638, these seven town- lands are thus enumerated : —

“ Wentworth, (Lord Lieutenant of Ireland).”

“ Whereas there is an agreement for certain leases to be made by your supplicant, John Lord Bishop of Derry, unto the rest of your petitioners, viz. — To the Mayor and Commonalty of the seven quarters of land, called or known by the names of Moylenan alias Molenan, Ballyougery alias Ballydongery, Termanbackoe, Ballynegowan, Termonderry, Creevagh, and Killeagh, situate in the parish of Templemore alias Derry, within the liberties of the said city of Londonderry, at the yearly rent of £50.” <fcc. &c. — “ Signed by ten of' the Council.” — ( Concise View of the Irish Society: p. 57.)

Though this name Termonderry was used in a loose and popular way to denote the whole of the erenach or termon lands of the monastery of Derry, it can scarcely admit of doubt that in the above list it was exclusively and properly applied to the Island, in which tho original termon , or sanctuary, of the monastery was situated.

iiSUj i C*Uen*’ as aPPears fr°m 3 and 4 Anne, the Island, as a townland, was omitted in the list of townlands called the “ quarter lands,” or “ 1500 acres,” and which, even with this omission, contain in reality considerably more than that amount. J

Of the word termon some fanciful etymologies, by Bishop Montgomery, will be found in page 51 of this Memoir. Some more receut writers have supposed that it was the same as terra monachorum , or the French terre-mome — the land of monks,— and others have derived it from the Latin terra immunis, free land, because it was unques- tionably applied to land free from all claim of temporal lords. A more solid conjecture respecting its etymology has been given by Usher, who supposed it to have been derived from the Latin terminus, and that it signified an asylum, or sanctuary, “because such privileged places were usually designed by special marks, or bounds.” It is probab.e indeed that they were always so, in accordance with the canon of the Irish synod, given by D’Achery:— .

Let the Terminus of a holy place have marks about it : whenever you find the sign of the cross of Christ, do not do any injury ” “ Three persons consecrated a Tei-minus of a holy place — a king, a bishop, and the people.” bucli termini, or boundary-stones, still remain in the vicinity of many Irish termons. They are usually four in number, placed towards the cardinal points, and in the form of crosses ; though occasionally they are pillar-stones, either plain, or having a cross cut upon them. From the application of the word termon , to signify a sanctuary, it afterwards came into general use to signify shelter, refuge, or protection, and is so employed by the Irish to the present day : ‘ cignn pu-o tcqiman, I require your protection, or I repair to you as my sanctuary. —(O’Brien.) •oerab cecqunmn, tutelary gods.” — (Id.) It seems also to have been popularly applied to denote the lands e onging to a termon, in the same loose manner as baile was to those belonging to a habitation, and sometimes even, in a looser way, to an extensive district in which a sanctuary was situated, and which was believed to be au 1 pr°i?ctlon a Patr°a saint- Thus in the Inquisition, taken at Lymmavaddy in 1609, the then parishes o Aghanioo, Drumachose, and Balteagh, are called by the name of “ Termonconny,” or the termon of St. Cainneach, ougn tbe termon, or sanctuary, was in reality limited to the church of Drumachose, which was popularly called lermon Mac ' deige , from the family of that name, who were its hereditary corles, or erenachs. [See Parish of Drumachose. I And though it is stated in the same Inquisition that land was called “ termon or free,” because it was tree ot aU temporal exactions, it is obviously an error ; for, though all erenach lands were equally exempted, none were called termon but such as had the privilege of sanctuary annexed to them. This appears clearly from several of the Inquisitions of the 7th James I. Thus, in the one above cited, it is stated : — “ Further, the said jurors aoe, uppon their oathes, finde that the diflerence of termon, corbe, and herenagh, consisteth onlie in this, that the termon is the name of the land, and all termon land is herenagh land, and hath all the priviledges of herenagh land, but all herenagh laud hath not alwaies as ample privileges as tbe termon lands.” And again, in tne inquismon taken at Dungannon in the same year, the jurors “ say, that termonland had the same beginninge b-V.'S 311 ®nej7e th®y differ in that the termonland had ofteh tymes more privileges, as sanctuarie and the

like, which was not allowed to many of the herenaghes.”

Dr. Lanigan was of opinion that tlie word terminus, in the ecclesiastical style, meant originally district, or territory (like .finis), and that the idea of sanctuary was secondary. But, as already shewn, it does not appear that in Ireland church-lands were always called termons, or that the name was ever applied to any but those which had sanctuaries within them, — and it is always so understood by Colgan, the highest authority on the subject. And it maybe observed that this word was applied to designate not only the church sanctuaries, bat even those of the bards, or poets, &c. “ Camden says, that it is a custom amongst the Irish nobility that each

should have his own judges, antiquaries, poets, physicians, and musicians, to whom they granted Termons." — (Keating: Preface; p. 86.) “And what Termons they granted to the learned of Ireland.”— (Id. p. 8.) The Irish had another word, which they used synonymously with this — neirhecro, sacred land — and it is so translated by Colgan, and explained by O’Clery, as well as by Coruiac Mac Cullenan, king of Munster, and archbishop of Cashel, in the 9th and 10th centuries. The Four Masters thus use it in speaking of the depredations of Sir Nicholas Malby, in 1582 : — “Neither the nermeerb of the saint, or the poet, the wood, nor the desert, the valley, the towu, nor the bawn, was available in sheltering the inhabitants from this captain and his people.” As it is certain that among the Gaulish and British nations the druids, bards, &c., had their sanctuaries, or consecrated places, it is not improbable that these termons and neveds. in Ireland, had their origin in Pagan times, and therefore that the word tearmann may not be derived from the Latin, but be traceable rather to the parent of all the Indo- European languages — the Sanscrit. Such is the opinion of one of the most profound philologists of the present day — Professor Pictet, of Geneva — who thus expresses himself, respecting the remarks originally made on this word in the precursory impression of the present Memoir, in a letter to Mr. Petrie, dated “ Geneve, 13 Mai, 1836”:—

“ Je prendsla libertd de vous adresser a cesujet une conjecture sur la vraie origine du mot tearmann, asylum, qui a dtd rapportd au Iatin terminus , leqnel auroit dtd pris d’abord dans 1' acception de territoire, district, puis de church-land, puis enfin de sanctuaire, et de refuge. (Voyez Ordnance Survey. Antiquities of the Parish. Etymolog. de Teimonbacca.) J’avoue que j’ai quelques doutes sur ces transformations successives. Le sens d'azyle, de pro- tection, me paroit etre le plus ancien : dans le gallique dcossaisle mot tearmunn n’ a pas d’autre signification, et il y a lueme un verba tearmunnaich, proteger, defendre. Jo croia que le latin terminus et l’irlandais tearmann sc lient tous deux directement au Sanscrit tarman, que Wilson traduit par the top or term of the sacrificial post.

L’antel etant un lieu de refuge, nn sanctuaire, le mot a conservd on irlandais le sens abstrait et ddrivd, tandis que le latin terminus n’ a gardd que la signification matdrielle de terms, borne.”

It appears from tlic Inquisition taken at Derry in 1603, that tbe southern half of the Island of Derry then belonged to St. Columb’s Monastery, and the northern half to the Nunnery — each containing by estimation, half a small quarter of land.

TOWNLANDS.

Ballouguv. Called the quarter of Balliioirry in the Inquisition taken at Derry in 1609 ; Bally ougery alias Ballydoitgery in the licence of the Lord Lieutenant to Bishop Bramliall, in 1638 ; Ballyioirry alias Ballyovgry in the Act 4 Anne; BaUougry by Sampson ; and Ballyoogary in the titlie-book. From the variety of forms which the latter part of this name assumes in ancient documents, and the want of historical evidence of its correct Irish orthography, it is impossible to offer any explanation but a useless conjectural one, as to its etymology, or original meaning.

The origin of tbe word baile, which enters so generally into Irish topographical names, has been the subject of a vast deal of learned conjecture. Tbe advocates of tbe theory of a Phoenician colonization of Ireland, from General Vallancey down to Dr. Villanueva, have availed themselves of the support which their hypothesis seemed to derive from its apparent connexion with the name of Baal, the god of the Phcenicians, and the supposed deity of the ancient Irish ; while the earlier Irish writers content themselves with a simple explanation of its established meaning. Thus it is explained by the word inert), a place or locality, in the Book of Lecan (f. 164 ; p. b. ; col. a); translated oppidum by Archbishop Esher in his Primordia (p. 861), and by his cotemporary, Philip O'Sullevan Beare, in his History of the Irish Catholics (p. 159) ; villa, viciis, vcl burgum, by Colgan in his Acta Sanctorum (p. 544 ; n. 2) ; and villa, pagus, vel vi/lata, by Roderick O’Flaherty, in his Ogygia (p. 24).

The learned Dr. O’Brien has indeed remarked, in his Dictionary, that “ this Celtic word bailie and the Lat. vallis are originally the same, as the ancients always built their habitations in low, sheltered places, near Rivers or Rivulets.” But this derivation, like those of the later etymologists already referred to, though ingenious and partly true, does not go far enough to be satisfactory ; or, to use the words of the learned William Baxter, “ the origin of this name is to be sought from a more remote source.”

“ Bel, diminutive Beltn,” observes this ingenious etymologist, “ with all the Celts meant the sun, or Apollo. With the ancient Gauls, as appears from an inscription, Abellio — from the Greek 'AfijXidff. But the origin of tbis name is to be sought from a more remote source. Whatever was round, particularly the head, was called by tbe ancients either Bdl, or Bel, and likewise Bui, and Bui. Among tbe modern Persians tbe skull is called Pola ; and tbe Flemings use Bolle for tbe head. The IloXoe of tbe Greeks means the crown of the head, and IIoXeTv means to turn. Bw\oc, likewise, signifies a round clod, and what the English call ball [in Baxter’s Latin Pila,] the Welch call Bel [and the Irish Meall]. The Scoto-brigantes use Bhel for the head, whence the English word Bill is derived, which signifies the leal: of a bird. Figuratively, the Phrygians and the Thurian Greeks by BdXXijv understood a king. Hence also, in the Syriac dialects, BadX, Bi)X, and likewise EuX, signifies lord, and hence also God and the sun [Irish Mai, and Fal — Hebrew Miiar] ; and in some dialects "HX, and"IX, whence TIXoc, and the Greek "HXios, FijXioe, and Bi/Xioc ; and also the Celtic diminutives ''EXevoc, FiXevoe, and BiXevoc, for the sun, and 'EXe'vj;, FtXtv jj, and B eXivri, for the moon. In the Teutonic and Celto-Scythian dialects Sol and Sell have the same meaning [Sanscrit Hailih], whence is derived the adjective Holig or Seilig, which signifies divine or holy, — and, the aspiration being changed into the prepositive S, the Romans form their Sol.” And again, under the word Bulceum .- — “ We have also said, at the word Bel, that, it signified figuratively a king, but properly the head. It will therefore make no difference whether we write, according to the ancient dialects, Bdl, Bel, Bil, Bol, Bill ; or Mdl, Mel, Mil, Mol, Mill ,- or Ydl, Vcl, Vil, V61, Vul; or Fdl, Fel, Fil, Fdl, Fill; or finally, Gal, Gel, Gil, G61, Gill. From Gol [in Baxter’s Latin Cranium,'] the Scoto-brigantes borrowed Col, the English Skull, and the Hebrews Qolgolelh, — whence also the Syriac ToXyoXOd, and the Latin Galea, and Galerus [a helmet]. Fal also with the Scoto-brigantes means a king, — a word which the ancient Silures seem to have written indifferently Bdl and Fdl. Hence our Bulceum and Caer Fyli, or Caer Fcda, which ought to he Goer Bulach and Caer Falach, meaning royal city.”

The justice of these observations will to the linguist at once appear obvious ; or, if a doubt of its extent occur, it will be immediately removed by a reference to the various words which, under the modifications above given, are found in the Celtic and Indo-European languages, to express objects into which tlie idea of rotundity enters. It will not, therefore, be considered visionary to inquire whether the Irish word baile (anglicized bally,) may not

have had a similar origin. It will not admit of doubt that this word was originally applied to signify a habita- tion, and not land, though subsequently applied to denote the laud belonging to a habitation, like villa, in the Law Latin, — and hence the constant recurrence of family names compounded with it when applied to townlands. In support of this fact numerous examples might be adduced from the most ancient Irish authorities, but the following entry in the Book of Kells, in the lltli century, is so decided as to make further evidence unneces- sary: — “ITluinrefi Cennanpa jio eupaqi CCjvo Comma .1. baile ui llitqun cona imnlnnvo octip cona hejinn-n uili octip baile ui Contain cona hejitiivo uili octip cona muiliunTi no *Oia ocup no Cholum cille,” &c. “ The family of Kells granted Ard-camma, i.e. Ballyheerin [O’Heerin’s habitation], with its mill and with all its land, and Ballycoogan [O’Coogan’s habitation], with all its land and with its mill, to God and to Columbkille,’’ etc. Hence also the term Oaile biacac, literally habitation of the betagh, or entertainer, which was applied by the ancient Irish to signify a townland generally, as the modern Irish generally use the term baile caiman for townland, and sometimes, especially in Munster, baile, absolutely, in the same sense, like villa in the Law Latin. Nor can it be questioned that in this sense of habitation, or village, the word baile, with all its modified changes, as ball, a spot, “balla, a wall,” — “pal, a wall, hedge, fold, circle” (O’Reillv), is referrible to the same source with the Welch gnal, the English and German wall , the Icelandic or Gothic hoi, the Latin villa (anciently written vella), vallum, vallis, and ballium, the Greek iroXtg, and the Arabic balad. And, though this conjecture does not appear to have occurred to Baxter, it did not escape the critical mind of Pinkerton : — “ This,” he observes, “ is another word, which might puzzle the most profound etymologist to determine, if really Celtic or Gothic. Nothing is more certain than that Bal and Bally are most frequent in Ireland, as initial of the names of towns : and that Bailie, in Irish, implies a city, town, or village. In Welch it means the head of a river flowing from a lake, as Twyne says [in Irish bel, from beat, or beul, a mouth] ; but, according to Price, a town. Davies doubts this last, except that it be from the Latin Villa, or the Arabic Balad, a town.” “ Nothing is also more certain, than that, in the Icelandic or Gothic, Bol is a town, or village. ‘ Bol. caput, —o\oc, Gr. bol work, Bol, rotundus.’ Wachter. ‘ Bal, vide Boll Id. As the first towns were on the tops of hills, the consonance of caput and rotundus with a town is apparent. The Greek irdXos and voXi s are in singular agreement.” It is certain that maol, or meall. signifies in Ireland, as in Wales, a round-shaped hill, or mountain : — “ IT) call, a hill, hillock, or any rising ground of a spherical shape" (O’Brien) : “IT) call, a globe, a ball, a lump, a mass, a heap” (O’Reilly). Pinker- ton, however, is probably as much in error in supposing the first towns to have been on hills as O’Brien is in locating them in valleys ; at least it does not follow that towns, or habitations, took their name from the rotundity of hills, which are not always or necessarily round. And, if conjecture be allowed, it would appear to he more consistent with truth that the word originated in the circumstance of rotundity being connected with the primitive form of habitations in Ireland ; for it is certain that all the towns, inclosures, earthen works, for- tresses, tombs, temples, and houses, in this country, before the introduction of Christianity, with the single exception of one constructed at Tara in the 3rd century, received this form : and it may be presumed that a similar mode was universal in tbe British Islands before the arrival of the Romans. St. Evin, a writer of the 6th century, in his Life of St. Patrick, makes a druid predict, that “one would come to Ireland, whose bouses would be like the houses of the Romans, narrow and angular [angustee et angulatje)” — a striking evidence that, previously to the introduction of Christianity into the island, no angular buildings were known.

In 1609 this townland was in the “ occupation of John Howton.”

Ballyarnet. Called the quarter of Ballyarnell in the Inquisition taken at Derry in 1609; Ballyarnet by Sampson ; and Eallyarnett in the tithe-book. The etymology of the latter pan of this compound is uncer- tain : it would appear to be derived from the Irish family of O’ I1CC1 prill ana, or Harnett, but this name is not found in the district.

Balltsiagowan. Called the half-quarter of Balligam in the Inquisition taken at Derry in 1609 ; and Ballygan alias Ballygowan, in the act 4 Anne. It is spelled Ballinagowan on Sampson’s Map ; but Ballyma- gowan, the spelling adopted in the tithe-book, is now become the established name. The correct orthography is, however, Bally nagananagh, or baile na 5-can Anac — the townland of the Canons, or Canonstown — as it is written by tbe Eour Masters at tlie year 1537, and as appears from an Inquisition taken at Derry in 1605, in which it is called the Canons' Land. In the Down Survey the northern part of this townland is marked as “many small parcels of land, belonging nnto the City of Derry.”

In 1609 this townland was in the “ occupation of George Norman.”

Ballymagrortt. Called Baile-meg-Eabhartaich by Colgan ; the quarter of Ballymcreioortie, and Bally Jfe Rowertie, in tbe Inquisition taken at Derry in 1609 ; the quarter of Ballymacrowretie, Bally mac-Roartie, and Bally mac-Rowrty, in that taken at Lifford in 1621 ; the quarter of Bally-Mac-Roxcerty in that taken at Donegal in 1625 ; and BaJlymagoHy in the Down Survey, but by mistake or ignorance. The signification is unquestion- ably the toion of ITlac Robapraij;, or Mac Roverty, now Magrorty — a family of the Kinel-oweu, closely connected with the early ecclesiastical history of Derry, and probably erenachs here, as Colgan says there was a monastery anciently in this townland, the ruins of which were scarcely visible in his time (1647). — [Triad. Tkaum. p. 495 ; col. 1.) Another branch of the Mac Rovertys, who were the keepers of the Caah of St. Columbkille, described by Sir William Betham in his Antiquarian Researches ( — part 1.), gave name to Baile-meg-Rabhartaich, in the barony of Tivhugh.

Ballynagalliagh. Called the half-quaiier of Ballynccalliagh in an Inquisition taken at Derry in 1602 ; the quarter of Ballygalliagh in that taken at Derry in 1609 ; Ballynagaliagh by Sampson ; and Ballynagallagh in tbe tithe-book. The meaning is unquestionably baile na 5*caill6ac, the tenon of the nuns, as it appears from the latter Inquisition that the jurors did, “uppon their oathes, say and pnt [present] that there was a nunnery on the south side of the said cittie, in the ilaud of Derry, with a small garden or plott of ground called Garncgal- liegh [gapna na jcailleac, the garden of the mens'], and a quarter of land called Ballygalliagh to the said nun- nery belonginge, and that the half quarter of land called Kossenegalliogh, lyinge in O’Chane’s side, is parcell of the possessions of the said nunnery.” Cailleac is the Irish word to denote an old woman who has borne no children, and also a nun. Cormac Mac Cullenan, fantastically derives it from the verb call, to keep, and says it was a name for an old woman who keeps the house. Cailleac, when it signifies a nun, is derived from caille, Latin vel-um, a veil, or cover, q. d. the veiled : this rests on the authority of a very old Life of St. Bridget.

This townland has been in the possession of the Donegal family since 1620, but how it was acquired by them does not appear from the Inquisitions.

Ballinagard. Called Ballynagardie in an Inquisition taken at Armagh previously to the settlement ; the quarter of Ballinnegord in one taken at Derry in 1602 ; the quarter of Ballenegarde in that taken at Derry in 1609 ; Ballynagard on Sampson’s Map ; Ballymagard in his Memoir ; and Ballynegard in the tithe-hook : Ballymagard has also, by corruption, become the popular name. The signification is probably baile na jayvoa, the town of the guard, or garrison : thus Stranagard, in Desertmartin, is named from a guard-house, a part of •one wall of which still remains.

In 1609 this townland was in the “ possession of capten Henrie Harte,” whose descendant still retains it.

Ballynashallog. Called the quarter of GoHneshalyg in an Inquisition taken at Derry in 1602 ; the quarter of Comeshalgagh in that taken at Derry in 1609 ; Ballynashanagh on Sampson’s Map, which means town of the foxes; and Ballynashallog in the tithe-book. The correct name is evidently baiie net yettlg, the town of the chaces, or hunting — a name synonymous with Huntingdon, in England. Gortneshalyg, or gojic na peats, means the field, of hunting. The word gort is now understood in the north of Ireland to signify a globe, but this meaning is not recognised by any Irish writer : Keating uses it to signify a tilled field, and O’Sullevau Beare translates it simply ager, and Colgan preedium.

It is obvious that in this sense the word is identified with the Welch gardd, Cornish geare, French jardin, Saxon geard, Gothic gar dr, Latin hortus, a -grum, a-ger, a -era, Greek hypos, Sanscrit, a -jirum, Persian gardah (ploughed land — Richardson), and Arabic gaur, or gour — (D’Herbelot). But this sense of the word seems obviously derivative, or secondary, the original meaning being a circular inclosure : — “ Goth, garda, a garden, from the Su. Goth, gaerda, to inclose, to hedge in — (Sbreniub.) The same derivation is observable in other northern languages, v. Ludwig, Jura Feudorum, &c. p. 508. In like manner Mr. Horne Tooke deduces garden [Saxon geard!] from the Saxon gyrdan, to gird, to inclose.” — (Todd’s Johnson). The root of all these words seems to be the Persian gird, “a circle, round, orbit, circumference, circuit, rotundo” — (Richardson); and hence, as iD the word hel, already noticed, the various words in the Indo-European languages, expressing objects of a circular form, derived from this source — as the Persian gardah, a watch, guard; Irish jjup/oa; Persian garda, wheeling round, encircling ; Greek yvpoe ; Latin gyrus, and gyro, circus, and all its derivatives ; Irish cuaip/o— (O’Reilly) ; CijV^ofli the ancient name of Stonehenge. Cormac Mac Cullenan thus derives the word gjxian, the common Irish name for the sun, the Apollo Grynam of the Romans : — “5yian a gtficnrDO tepyiam .1. a circuital .1. on cuanrugcro.” “Syian agyrando terrain, i.e a circuit'd, i.e. from its encircling tho earth." To the above may be added (with many others,) the following Irish words, collected from O’Brien’s Dictionary, and Cormac’s Glossary : —

Cop,, a twist, a round or circular motion, a round ' hill : Latin curvus.

Cop,, a choir : Latin chorus ; chorea, the circular dance.

Cop,, a round pit of water.

Cop.c, and copc&n, a pot.

Coycog, a bee-hive.

Coiye, a cauldron, a whirlpool.

Coyti, a horn, a drinking-cup: Latin cornu; Greek j nipac ; Gothic haunt ; Gaulish carnon ; Arabic | carnon ; Syriac carno.

Coyoin, a crown : Latin corona ; Greek icopuivt].

Ceipn, and Ceipm'n, a dish, or platter.

Coycuiy, the border, or fringe, of a garment: Eng- lish garter.

Caoy, a berry.

Cuay, crooked : Welsh guyr.

Cuaiyt, a circulation, a circular visitation.

Cayn, a heap. “ The true origin of the word caiy- neac is from capn, a heap of stones, &c., on which the Druids or Pagan priests offered sacrifices to Belas; whence the Armories have the word belec to signify a priest.” — (O’Brien.)

Caipc, and coipc, the bark or rind of a tree, from the idea of circling : Latin cortex.

Capb, a basket : German horb ; Belgic kerf.

Cupan, the crown of the head.

Cappdn, and Coyyan, a reaping-hook, derived from cop, a bend.

Capban, the palate, or roof of the mouth.

Caybco, a chariot.

Ciopcac, a circle: Greek eipros ; Latin circulm , and circus.

Cpoibe, q. d. coporoe, the heart: Latin cor; Greek KapSta.

Cpo, a hovel, a fortress.

Cpom, stooped, bent: Belgic hrom ; German krumb (now krumrn ) ; Welch knm.

Cputnn, round : Welch krun.

Cpuinne, the world — orbis terrarum.

Cpiop, q. d. ci pi pi', a girdle : Armorican guris; Welch guregis; Cornish grigis.

Cpiof, cyeay, the sun : Phoenician cares. gape, a head.

^apedn, a bonnet, a cap.

5pccD, grain.

Syeineal, a griddle, q. d. girdle : British gradell, a _ grid-iron.

Sp'oc, q. d. gipioc, the sun.

^piun, a hedge-hog.

The Irish caraip (pronounced caliir), a circular uncemcnted stone fort, and, figuratively, a city, appears also to he of the same stock : — “ Brit, kaer ; Sey thice, car ; Antiq. Saxon, caerten ; Goth, gards ; Cantab, caria ; Brit, her • Heb. mp; Phcen. and Fun. kartha ; Clialdaice, kartha; and Syriace, karitita; Grace, xaPa£- N. B. Malec-karthus or Mel-karthus, i.e. king of the city, was an appellative of the Phoenician Hercules, said to be the founder of the city of Tyre., — (O’Brien). (And as the Phoenicians are acknowledged to have introduced their religion into the British Isles, hence probably the inscriptions to the god Bel-ath-cadrub, or Bel-ata-oader, the father Icing of the city, found in different parts of England, and so long a puzzle to the learned.) As in this sense no directly connate word is found in Latin, the philologist, if he please, may add to the above the word urbs, its nearest parallel which is derived by lexicographers from m hum (sometimes written urrnrn): — “Ham urbare et orbare est circulo circumscribere." — (Scaliger.) It is not improbable that the Latins omitted the c, as in the word ramus Celtic craomh, and as they rejected the g in hortus. Thus it might have been originally curbus, or curvus, next curbs, then, aspirating the c, chuibs, next hurls, and finally whs. It is certain that many changes as remarkable may be found in other Latin words, from the aspiration or rejection of initial consonants. Finally : — if tho two words gort and baiie, which are so similar in several of their meanings, be not originally derived from different families

of language, it is probable that the former originally denoted a circle or girdle, the latter a ball or solid round

and that in course of time these primary ideas were sometimes abandoned, or neglected, in the derivative applica- tion of the words to objects of an orbicular and circular form.

In 1609 this townland was in the “ occupation of Walter Tallon.”

Cloughglass. This name does not appear in the Inquisitions. It is written Cloughglass by Sampson • and Cloghglss [ Cloghglass ], and Glochlass, in the tithe-book. In the Down Survey the townland immediately to the north olEdenballymore, and evidently occupying the situation of this, is called KnochtaU. Cloughglass, in Irish Ctoc stay, means green stone. This small townland is probably a modem subdivision of some more extensive ancient denomination.

Cosh quin. Called the half-quarter of Costquoyne in the Inquisition taken at Derry in 1609 • the half-

quarter of CosJcenie, and Coskeyne, in that taken at Lifford in 1621 ; Coshquin by Sampson ; and Cosquin in the tithe-hook. The orthography would at first sight seem obscure, hut to a person acquainted with the general nomenclature of Ireland it will not appear inexplicable. The word coy is explained by O’Brien thus “Cor the foot, the leg, is like the Greek ttovs, & the Latin pes ; the letters C and P being often commutable with respect to the Greek k Irish these are traceable to the Gothic, from which the English foot is evidently derived. From this word coy is formed the preposition coiy, or a-coiy (the preposition a, at, or in, bein* understood—) near to, hard by, alongside of, along, as coiy na paiy^e, by the sea, i. e. literally — by the foot° of the sea In like manner “taiiii, from Idrh, the hand ;” as O’Brien remarks, “ t&im ye, and Worn yiy, near at hand close to

hard by. A barony in the county of Waterford bears the name of Coif b|\i'goe, Coshbride, i.e. along the Bride from its stretching along the banks of a river of that name ; and another barony in the county of Limerick has derived the appellation of Coif TTlaige, Coshna, from its lying along the river Maig. In the county of Antrim the names of Cushendun and Cushendall are derived from two rivers, anciently, but not at present, called Dun and Dali : it is therefore highly probable that the stream that flows by this townland into Lough Swilly, the name of which is now lost, was anciently called caom, or the beautiful ( amcena — Colgan), and that the townland received the appellation of coif caome from its situation on its banks. Caom would be a very appropriate Irish name for a stream, as such appellations are constantly given to them ; for example uifce caoin, fair water, now Eskaheen, in Inishowen : pom), white, or bright ; glan, and its diminutive jlanoj, clean ; •out), black ; pionn glaf, the bright green, Ac. Sampson explains Coshquin as rabbit’s-foot ; but the Irish word which signifies rabbit is not quin, but coinin (com in).

Creevagh (Upper and Lower). Called the quarter of Crivagh in an Inquisition taken at Derry in 1602 • Grevagh in that taken at Derry in 1609 ; Creevagh in the Act 4 Anne ; Creevagh by Sampson : and Creevy in the tithe-book. It is an anglicizing of the Irish word cjraobac, which literally means bushy, but which is con- stantly used, in a topographical sense, to signify bushy or shrubby land. Respecting Cf.aoli, correctly Cpaorii, O'Brien observes : — "Cpaoiii, a branch ; Lat. ramus; either the Latins threw off the c, or the Celts prefixed it.”

This townland was a possession of the abbey of Derry; and was in 1609 in the “occupation of Denis O’Dery,” who was probably the crenach. This family, called in Irish 0,‘0aijp.e, which is now anglicized Deery, were a branch of the Kinel-Ou'en, and for many centuries hereditary erenachs of half the church-lands of the monastery of Derry, namely — those in the diocese of Raphoe.

Creggan. Called the qmrte>' of Craggin, Cargan, and Gregg, in the Inquisition taken at Derry in 1609; and Craggabell in the Down Survey. Cp.e«5«n means rocky ground. [See Edenballymore.']

It is stated in the Down Survey that the half of Craggabell belonged to the church of Derry.

Culmore. The fort is called Guil more by O’Sullevan Beare ; and Culmoore by Pynnar; and the place is called ail cuil ihop. by the Four Masters ; the fort is called Coolcmcre in the Inquisition taken at Derry in 1609 ; and the townland, in which it stands, the half-quarter of Laharden; it is called Conlemore alias Culemore in the charters of James 1., and Charles II. ; Coulemore alias Culmore, in that of Cromwell ; Kilmore in a manuscript in the Lambeth Library, the Southwell MSS., Ac. ; and Culmore by Sampson. O’Sullevan Beare, in his account of the rebellion [»«oIms] of Sir Cnhir O’Doherty, translates Cuil more by angulus magnus, i.e. great comer, which is the true meaning, and descriptive of the locality. The two Irish words — cul and cuil — are sometimes confounded by Irish topographers ; they are, however, distinct — cul signifying a back, or retired place, and cuil a corner, or angle. . Cuil eaccparm (now Culfeighterin), the name of the north-eastern corner of Antrim, affords another cor- roboration of the real meaning of this word. Laharden — in Irish teat tqvoan — the “ alias’' name of this town- land, signifies the half hill, by which is meant a gently sloping kill.

Edenballtjiore. This townland is not named in the Inquisitions. It is called EdenbalUmore, and Edenballymore, in the Down Survey ; and Edenballymore by Sampson. The name is evidently Gu'oaii baileinop, which means the large townland on the broio, or face, of the hilt, Gunan Uaite is Brae-face-town ; and the adjectives mop, large, and beog, small, were generally postfixed to the names of Irish townlands, when a denomina- tion, originally one, was subdivided into a larger and smaller portion. Though this is the prevalent usage throughout Ireland there is no Edenballybeg to he now found in this neighbourhood.

The Irish word euuati is translated frons by Cormac Mac Cullenan, and generally signifies the human fore- head, but when used topographically it signifies the brow of a hill — generally, but not always, the southern or sunny side ; and the opposite of cut, the back, or northern side, of a hill. Keating defines the meaning of this word completely when lie states that the river Barrow spriugs from the eden, or brow, of Slieve Bloom : — ■“ Ip polluy gup ab 6 heuTKm pleibe OLatnna -0011 leir foip o'yapap beaplia.”

Lluyd observes, “ that the most common way [among the Britons,] of naming lulls was by metaphors from the parts of the body,” as bron the breast, lliygad au eye, geneu. the mouth, braich an arm, Ac. In Ireland like- wise places are found, which take their names from a comparison with almost every member of the human frame.

It appears from the Down Survey, which was finished in 1657, that 224 acres of this townland were then held under lease by Captain Alexander Staples, and 12 acres of the south-eastern corner of it “a controversie.” It seems to have been included in the bishop’s lands, called the quarter of Craggin and Drumniumey, and the half-quarter of Courneglogh, which lay on the northern side of the bog, near the Island of Derry. — (See Inquisition, taken at Derry in 1609.)

Elaghmore. Called in the most ancient Irish MSS. indifferently CCiteac and Oileac (both which are pronounced E/lagh, according to the Ulster mode of pronouncing the diphthongs ai and 01, when short) ; and the quarter of Ellaughmre, and Ellaghmore, in the Inquisition taken at Lifford in 1621 ( — the l being doubled, to secure the short sound of the e). It is written Elaghmore by Sampson, who remarks that the district is called Ely. A full explanation of this name will be found in the account of the Grianan of Aileach, and in that of the ruined castle of the O’Dohertys, which stands in this townland.

The adjective mop. large, is postfixed to the name of this townland, to distinguish it from the smaller town- land of ElagKbeg, which lies to the west of it, outside the boundary of the county.

Klllea. Called the quarter of Killeigh in an Inquisition taken at Derry in 1602 ; the half-quarter of Kellegh in that taken at Derry in 1609 ; Killeigh alias Eilleagh in the Act 4 Anne ; Keelagh by Sampson, incorrectly; and Kitlea in the tithe-book. The name may be an anglicizing either of Cill liar, grey church, or, more probably, of Cill pack (pronounced Killiagh), Finch’s church. It is certain that Killeagh, in Meath, was thus derived, as St. Fiach is there venerated as the patron ; and it is most probable that the cliurch owed its origin to another saint of that name, though no longer remembered in the district, as it appears from Mac Firbis’s List of the Saints descended from Eogan, or Owen, the prince of this territory, that there were two bishops of the name in the 6th century— one a son, and the other a grandson of that prince. — (See Mao Firbis: p. 701.) The old church of Killea, which is situated in, and gave name to this townland, was anciently, according to Archbishop King’s Visitation Book, one of five chapels-of-ease to the church of Derry — namely, Burt, Iniskehin, [Eskaheen, now Muff], Inch, Killeah [Killeagh], and (as he supposed) Grange. This church, however, was properly in the diocese of Raphoe, which, according to Bishop Downham’s Visitation Book, extended in his time even into the Island of Derry, — and its name has been given to the adjacent parish in that diocese.

In 1609 this townland was in the “occupation of Francis White.”

Mullens an. Called the quarter of Moylenong, in an Inquisition taken at Derry, in 1602; the quarter of Mallennan in that taken at Derry in 1609 ; Mollenam (erroneously for Mollenan,) in the Act 4 Anne; Mollenan by Sampson ; and Mullenan in the tithe-book.

The meaning of this name is, possibly TTluitleann Gnna, Enna or Anna's Mill — Enna, or Annadh, being a male proper name, current in Ireland down to the 16th century. It appears at least certain that the word muit- leann (molendinum), a mill, forms the first part of the compound, as the ruins of a mill still exist in the townland.

As this word mutbleann enters into the names of many ancient places in Ireland, it will not be irrelevant to give some account of the introduction of water-mills into the country.

It might be supposed from a passage in Dr. Ledwicli ( — see Antiquities of Ireland : p. 373,) that water-mills were nearly unknown in this island until a comparatively recent period, — but it would appear from early autho- rities that they were even more common in ancient than they are in modern times, when the mechanical force of the mill, and the facilities of communication by roads have been both increased. It is clear, from the Brebon Laws (MSS. Trinity College : Class E ; Tab. 3 ; Ho. 5), that they were common in the country at a very early period, and in the records of the grants of land to the monastery of Kells, preserved in its ancient Book, it would appear that, whenever the locality permitted, the mill was a common appendage to a ballybetagh, or ancient towuland. For example 1 “ 1 ITluincep, Cemicmpa pio eopaip, CCjUO comma .1. bade ui Uroytin cona mmlimvo

ocuf cona hefunvo uili ocup Oaile ut Comgain cona hep.um> uili ocup cona muiliunn -do Dia ocup -do Cholum citle,” &a. “The family of Kells granted Ard-camma, i. e. Ballyheerin, with its mill and with all its land, and Ballycoogan, with all its land and with its mill, to God and to Columbkille,” &c. — (Boole of Kells: MS. Trinity College.) This grant was made in the middle of the 11th century, and similar notices occur in the Registry of Olonmacnoise about the same period. The charter also of lands granted to the monastery of Newry by King Muircheartach, or Mauritius M‘Loughlin, about the year 1161, after enumerating the several townlauds, adds “ Has terras cum molendinis. exdono meo proprio , dictis monachis confinnavi,” Ssc. — “ (Clarendon J/SS’. in the British Museum : vol. 45. — in Ayscoug/is Catalogue 4792. — Plut. 7 III. C. p. 179.) The Lives of Irish Saints shew that mills were erected by ecclesiastics, shortly after the introduction of Christianity, as the mills of St. Senanus, St. Ciaran, St. Mochua, Ac. — (See the Lives of these Saints.) The mills of St. Lucherin and St. Fechin are noticed by Giraldus Cambrensis j and a mill at Fore, built on the ancient site of the latter, still exists, and is called St. Fechin’s Mill.

The Annals of Tigernacli, at the year 651, record that the two sons of Blainac (king of Ireland), son of Hugh Slaine, Donchad and Conall, were mortally wounded by the Lagenians in Maclodrain’s mill.

The Four Masters also, at the year 998, record that a remarkable stone called Lia-AUblie, which stood on the plain of Moynalvy, in Meath, fell, and that the king, Maelsechlainn, made four mill-stones of it.

From the preceding authorities, as well as from the classical etymology of the name, in Ireland as in every other country of Europe, it might be supposed that water-mills were first introduced by Christian ecclesiastics. There is reason, however, to believe that their introduction is of higher antiquity. Cuan O’Lochain, chief poet and lawgiver of Ireland, whoso death is recorded in the Annals of Tigernach, at the year 1024, states in his poem on the ruins then existing at Tara — that Cormac, the sou of Art, chief monarch of Ireland in the 3rd century, had a beautiful c.umal, or bond-maid, named Ciarnad, who was obliged to grind a certain quantity of corn every day with a bro, or quern, — but that the king, observing her beauty, took her into his house, and sent across the sea for a millwright (cug pnoyi IYIuiILitto cap, mop. tunro), who constructed a mill on the stream of Kith, which flows from the fountain of Neambnach to the north-east of Tara. The ancient Irish authorities all agree in stating that this was tbejfraf mill ever erected in Ireland ; and it is remarkable that this circumstance is still most vividly preserved by tradition, not only in the neighbourhood, where a mill still occupies its site, but also in most parts of Ireland. Tradition adds, that it was from the king of Scotland the Irish monarch obtained the millwright, and it can be shewn that the probability of its truth is strongly corroborated by that circumstance.

Professor Tennant, of St. Andrew’s, in an ingenious Essay on Corn-mills, states, that “the first corn-mill driven by water was invented and set up by Mithridates, king of Cappadocia, the most talented, studious, and ingenious prince of any age or country. It was set up in the neighbourhood of his capital, or palace, about seventy years before the commencement of the Christian era. It was probably from this favourable circumstance of the invention of the water-mill, and the facility thereby afforded to the Cappadocian people for making cheap, good, and abundant flour, that the Cappadocian bakers obtained high celebrity, and were much in demand for two or three centuries posterior to the invention of mills, throughout all the Roman world. Coincident with the era of the inventor, as mentioned by Strabo, is the date of the Greek epigram on water-mills by Antipater, a poet of Syria, or Asia Minor, who is supposed to have lived sixty or eighty years before Christ. This epigram may be thus translated : —

“ Ye maids who toil’d so faithful at the mill,

Now cease from work, and from these toils he still;

Sleep now till dawn, and let the birds with glee Sing to the ruddy mom on bush and tree ;

.For what your hands perform’d so long, so true,

Ceres has charg’d the water-nymphs to do :

They come, the limpid sisters, to her call,

And on the wheel with dashing fury fall ;

Impel the axle with a whirling sound,

And make the massy mill-stone reel around.

And bring the floury heaps luxuriant to the ground.

“The greater convenience and expedition in working of these water-mills soon made them be spread over -the world. In about twenty, or thirty years after their invention, one was set up on the Tiber. They must have been not uncommon in Italy in the age of Vitruvius, for he gives a description of them. Yet it is rather surprising that Pliny, whose eye nothing of art or nature escapes, has taken no notice of them.”

This learned writer errs, however, respecting Pliny. The following passage is quite conclusive on this sub- ject : — “Major pars Italice ruido utitur pi'.o, rotis etiam qaas aqua verset obiter, et molat." — (Hist. Nat. lib. 18 : c. 10.) Whitaker shews that a water-mill was probably erected by the Romans at every stationary city in Roman Britain : they were certainly numerous during their time ; and this fact strongly corroborates the date assigned to the erection of the mill near Tara, as well as the tradition relative to its origin, derived most probably from the Roman portion of Scotland which lay nearest to Irelaud, and which, during the reign of Cormac, was in the possession of the Piets.

In 1609 this townland was in the “occupation of John Woodes.”

Pennvbdrn. The name of this townland is thus spelled in every authority hitherto discovered, and must have been a name imposed by the English colony, as it is not of Irish origin. In the Teutonic dialects, according to Verstegan, burn, or bourne, signifies a stream. It has been added by the Scotch settlers to the names of several small rivers in the north of Ireland,— as in Burndale, the name of the celebrated river in Donegal, called Daelia in the Latin Lives of Columbkille, and "Daoib by the Four Masters.

Shantallow. This townland is not named in Sampson’s Map, nor in any ancient document hitherto discovered : it is written Shantallow in the tithe-book. The meaning of the name is evidently Sean 'Gatari>, senex tellus, i. e. old land,— but why it originally received such an appellation would be now difficult to ascertain : perhaps land a long time tilled might be so called, in contradistinction to contiguous laud lately reclaimed.

Sheripp’s Mountain. This townland is not mentioned in the Inquisitions, and, as its name indicates,

Printed image digitised by the University of Southampton Library Digitisation Unit

is evidently a modern sub-denomination of some ancient quarter, or townland — most probably of Ballymagrorty. It was allotted to the sheriffs before a salary was annexed to tbeir office.

Springe ill. This townland also appears to be a sub-denomination of BaUymigrorty.

Springtown. This townland appears to be a sub-denomination of Ballymagrorty, or Shantallow. Terjionbacca. Called the quarter of Fcrmonbaciagh in an Inquisition taken at Derry in 1G02 ; Termon- haccoe in that taken at Derry in 1G09 ; Termonlacco in the Act 4 Anne ; and Tirmonbacca , incorrectly, by Sampson.

The meaning is evidently TTectp.mmm baettig — i. c., the termon of the cripple. Bat why it received the appellation termon, or the additional epithet of Lacca, it would be now vain to conjecture, as after careful research no historical elucidation has been discovered.

In 1G09 this townland was in the possession of Sir Thomas Phillipps.”

Whiteiiouse or Ballvmagrorty. This townland is a sub-denomination of the Ballymagrorty, treated of above. The name WHiitehouse is said to have been derived from an old English habitation, the ruins of which still remain.

In the “ Preliminary Notice” to tlie Memoir, the historical importance of tracing the derivation of the Townland Names is noticed as follows : —

“ Thus, a subject of the earliest necessity to the Maps themselves, afforded a basis for historic inquiries. The mode of spelling the names of places was peculiarly vague and unsettled, but on the Maps about to be constructed, it was desirable to establish a standard orthography, and for future reference, to identify the several localities with the names by which they had formerly been called; and as the townland, and other divisions under various denominations, have existed over the whole of Ireland from the earliest times, it soon became apparent, that a sufficient extension of the original orthographic inquiries, to trace all the mutations of each name, would be, in fact, to pass in review the local history of the whole country.”

On this subject I beg to refer to a paper, written by Sir Thomas Larcom in 1846, on the “ Territorial Divisions of the Country,” which was published in the following year, by order of the Government, in the First Part of the “ Relief Correspondence of the Commis- sioners of Public "Works.” This paper, I may observe, although professing to be merely an outline, contains much valuable matter in a concise form. It closes with a reference to the ancient manuscripts of the Brehon Laws, as the source from which incomparably the most valuable information on this subject generally is to be derived, “ which it is very much to be desired the Government would publish, as they have the Laws of Howel Da, and the Saxon Laws.” It is satisfactory to know that the publication of these ancient laws has been subsequently sanctioned, and is now in progress, the transcription, colla- tion, and translation being understood to be already complete. With tins national and historic work, the names of the Rev. Dr. Todd, the "Very Rev. Dean Graves, and Dr. O’Donovan and Professor O’Curry, will ever be honorably associated ; and it is only to be hoped that the irreparable loss which Irish literature has sustained by the recent death of Dr. O’Donovan may not retard the editorial labours of the publication.

The “History of the Down Survey,” edited by Sir Thomas Larcom for the Irish Arch Ecological Society in 1851, is also interspersed with much interesting information relative to the several territorial denominations.

I also beg to refer to a paper on the “ Townland Distribution of Ireland,” which was read by the Rev. William Reeves, d.d., before the Royal Irish Academy in April last, and since published in the Proceedings of that body. In the course of this erudite and comprehensive paper the learned writer makes the following observations as to the great utility of the present publication : —

Entertaining tlie belief that the present townland names of Ireland not. only preserve a great many ancient forms, but afford very interesting materials for philological deductions, both as regards the distribution of certain words, and the local varieties of the same word, feeling also the want of some comprehensive book of reference in. the important work of the identification of ancient names, I undertook, in 1853, to compile an alphabetical index to all the townland names of Ireland, which I found to exceed sixty-two thousand in number. After a consider- able amount of mechanical labour, I succeeded, in 1857, in producing the desired catalogue, in the form of these two large volumes which I have now the honour to exhibit to the meeting. The plan I adopted was, to divide the page into five columns, the first of which gave the townland ; the second, in the same line, the parish ; the third, the barony; the fourth, the county; and the fifth, open for the etymology, where attainable. 1 should have been glad to have given the acreable extent of each ; bat the Addenda to the Census of 1841, from which I made my com-

pilatiou, did not supply the desired information. It was my intention to have prescutcd these books to the Academy as a work of public reference in topographical inquiry ; but I lately learned that a similar index, containing all my items, and farther supplying the areas, with a reference under each name to the sheet or sheets where it appeared on the Ordnance Survey, had been compiled from the Census of 1851, to which it was designed to serve as an alphabetical reference, and that it was likely, within a short time, to be published, and, of course, find its way to our library. It appeared to me, therefore, that it would be of no advantage to occupy a place in our shelves with an inferior production. It has, for several years, however, done good service, not only to the compiler, but some of his literary friends, who, in their difficulties, sought counsel of the “ monster Index.” The printed Index will form an ia valuable book of reference, and I hope that its appearance will promote investigations into the interesting topogx-aphy of our island : certainly the Census list of 1851, with its admirable details, and this Index to follow it, will prove a rich treasury of topographical illustration ; and ere long I hope to see the series on our shelves divested of their blue wrappers, and recommended to notice by a becoming exterior. It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of such a work as this to the topographer. Not only is he enabled hereby to trace to its proper position the site of an ancient church, or the field ox a distant encounter, or the subject of an early grant, but he has also materials for the correction of etymological fallacies, and the establish- ment of a true standard of interpretation.

Endless are the curious applications and combinations of Irish words which such an Index presents to view. What a boon to Irish topography would the forthcoming compilation be, if it had but one column more, namely, an etymological one. There is no member of society, from the great landed proprietor down to the humblest anti- quarian student, who would not welcome with delight the appearance of such a work. In some words considerable difficulty would attend the interpretation ; but the majority could be surely ascertained and safely expounded ; for it would be found that certain prevailing elements of composition pervaded the names to a great extent ; in which, as has already been observed, Bally, is so frequent; Kill, the first syllable of 2,S90 names, representing, according to the combination, either dll “cella,” “church,” or Cuttle, “sylva,” “a wood;” Drum, “dorsum,” “a ridge," introduces 2,000 names ; Knock, “ a hill,” 1,600 ; Lis, “ au enclosed abode,” uow called “ a fort,” 1,380 ; Deny, “ an oak wood,” 1,310; Cliiain, “a meadow,” 756, in the form Cion, and 924 in that of Oloon. The etymologicon, however, to be complete, would require a careful comparison of the old forms of the townland names, as found in Inquisitions, Patents, and kindred records, which were much purer than those now in use, as approaching nearer to the fountain head, and as current at a time when the Irish language was comparatively uninfluenced by foreign influence or intermixture.

I have thus indicated some of the various sources of information on this interesting subject, in the hope that those who have leisure will refer to the original documents; and that by continued research the history which lies enshrined in local names may yet be preserved to the country, and rendered accessible to the public.

It is proper here to add, that since the publication of the first edition of the Ordnance Maps, power has been vested in the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council to change the names and boundaries of townlands when the straightening of river courses, reclamation from the sea, or other circumstances, have rendered it necessary. The cases, however, will not be numerous, and no inconvenience or error from this cause need arise, if all the precautions required by the Acts of Parliament be, as they doubtless will be, duly observed.

I have the honour to be,

Your Excellency's very faithful servant,

William Donnelly,

Registrar- General .
