F OR some years past it has been in my mind to collect every matter of
interest, historical and otherwise, relating to those places in thjk North
•
of the County Cork in my immediate neighbourhoods
Owing to so many of the old places having changed hands of late
years, and so many of the old families having left the country, it will be
• • • • . i • - • - :-
almost impossible a short time hence to trace their history, or record any
memorable occurrence connected therewith.
•
I have, therefore, endeavoured,*with the help of several friends inter
ested in the local traditions, etc., of this part of the County, to lay before
• . . ' .-
the readers of the Cork Historical and A rchaological Journal the following
1
* Notes,* * in alphabetical order, which embody my researches in this

direction. *
I trust that they will be found to form a not unimportant contribution
aft
W
to the past history, antiquities, etc., of this portion of the County.
