Survey of the Mcinerney Sept of Thomond (Download PDF)
SURVEY OF THE McINERNEY SEPT OF THOMOND Luke McInerney, M.A. This survey gives an historical account of the McInerney sept of Clann Chuiléin, the eastern division of County Clare. The survey investigates the genealogical origins of the McInerneys in twelfth century Thomond as an offshoot of the ruling McNamaras. The origins of the McInerneys as an airchinneach family of east Clare is explored and the survey looks at the history of the sept up to the confiscation of the sept’s lands in the mid-seventeenth century and their scattering into Limerick and Tipperary during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The survey attempts to give an overview of the McInerney family of Thomond and to redress the silence in many histories of County Clare about the family and its origins. It is a curious tenet of history that the McInerneys were almost totally dispossessed of their ancient lands, so it is not surprising that they escaped the historian’s pen. I intend for this survey to shed light on their history both before and after the collapse of the Gaelic order. Research indicates that the McInerneys – Clann an Oirchinnigh – of Thomond have been associated with their powerful overlords, the McNamaras (Mac Con Mara), since the twelfth century. It was from the main dynastic branch of the McNamaras that the progenitor of the McInerney sept, Donnchadha Mac Con Mara, originated. As a junior sept – or sliocht – the McInerneys retained an important position at the local level within the McNamara polity of Clann Chuiléin and their role as minor gentry found them scribed alongside the powerful Dromoland O’Briens in land and rental documents beyond the collapse of the Gaelic order into the eighteenth century.

ARCADE, DUBLIN 1 or through any Bookseller. PRINTED BY DUNDALGAN PRESS (W. TEMPEST) LTD., DUNDALK FOREWORD The wealth of the Irish countryside in field antiquities is by any standard remarkable. These demand the attention of the cartographer and since its inception the Ordnance Survey has been concerned to take notice of them. Indeed in the initial years of the Survey the brilliant team headed by O'Donovan, O'Curry and Petrie could justly claim to have laid the foundations of the development of scientific archaeology in Ireland. During the century since their passing, though its resources were never adequate for the task, the Ordnance Survey has, as it must, maintained its interest. In our own time the effort to revive archaeological work has been intensified and this at last led to the establishment of an archaeological section at this Office. The means needed to carry out a comprehensive general survey of field antiquities were not avail able and a special survey of one important class of monuments was therefore proposed. The choice fell on megalithic tombs. Not only is Ireland particularly rich in these but, as work in many lands has shown, such surveys are especially instructive and are vital for the understanding of the great neolithic and early bronze age movements which established farming and introduced so many of the basic skills and crafts of civilization.

The Townland of Nutfield in County Clare1
The Townland of Nutfield in County Clare1 Philip Crowe The present-day townland of Nutfield in the parish of Templemaley, barony of Bunratty Upper, is on the eastern side of the River Fergus and immediately adjacent to it. It is somewhat elongated in shape, north to south in orientation, and about 5 kilometres north of Ennis. Nutfield does not appear among the denominations of land in the parish of Templemaley as delineated in the Down Survey conducted from 1655 to 1658.2 While the parcels of land in that survey frequently correspond with the place names and boundaries of modern townlands, Nutfield is an exception.3 Townlands are the smallest administrative land units used in Ireland today.4 Nutfield is just one of over 60,000 townlands in the whole of Ireland. Despite the name ‘town-land’, it does not refer to villages, towns or built-up areas but to land generally. Townlands vary greatly in size and shape. Under various names, they have been the basic unit of land divisions in Gaelic Ireland going back at least 1,500 years.5 The names of townlands often refer to geographical features, historical events or even folklore and myths. The folklorist Thomas Johnson Westropp (1860-1922) recounts two versions of a myth about the placename Skaghvickincrow (otherwise Skaghvickencrow), a townland in the parish of Inagh, County Clare, meaning ‘MacEnchroe’s [Crowe’s] hawthorn bush or tree’.6 7 Both versions of this myth tell of a great treasure to be found under this tree. The central character in the stories unearthed this treasure so that they and their descendants became enormously wealthy.
