BALLINCOLLIG - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - BALLINCOLLIG, a post-town, in the parish of CARRIGROHANE, barony of BARRETTS, county of CORK, and province of MUN STER, 5 ½ miles (W) from Cork, and 130 miles (S.W) from Dublin, on the road from Cork to Macroom; containing 875 inhabitants. This place is chiefly distinguished as a military depot, and for its extensive gunpowder-mills, formerly carried on under the superintendence of Government, but, after having been for some years discontinued, recendy purchased by the present proprietors, and now in full operation. The artillery barracks form an extensive quadrangular pile of buildings, having in the eastern range the officers' apartments, and on the western side an hospital and a neat church, built in 1814, in which divine service is regularly performed by a resident chaplain. The buildings contain accommodation for 18 officers and 242 non-commissioned officers and privates, and are adapted to receive eight field batteries, though at present only one is stationed here, to which are attached 95 men and 44 horses: in the centre of the quadrangle eight gunsheds are placed in two parallel lines, and near them are the stables and offices; within the walls is a large and commodious schoolroom. Immediately adjoining the barracks, and occupying a space of nearly four miles in extent, are the gunpowder-mills, 16 in number. At convenient distances are placed the different establishments for granulating and drying the gunpowder, making charcoal, refining sulphur and salt-petre, making casks and hoops and the various machinery connected with the works; the whole communicating with each other, and with the mills, by means of small canals constructed for facility of carriage, and for preventing such accidents as might occur from other modes of conveyance. In appropriate situations, and adjoining these establishments, are the residences of the different persons superintending the works; and at the eastern extremity of the ground, but at a considerable distance from the mills, are two ranges of comfortable cottages for a portion of the work-people, now tenanted by 54 families, which obtain a comfortable livelihood. The number of persons employed is about 200, and the quantity of gunpowder manufactured annually is about 16,000 barrels. The police depot for the province of Munster is situated here; the men are drilled till they become efficient, and then drafted off to the different stations in the province. There is a R. C. chapel, to which is attached a school. To the south of the town, and on a limestone rock rising abruptly from the surrounding meadows, are the remains of Ballincollig castle, of which one of the towers is in tolerable preservation. —See CARRIGROHANE.
CARRIGROHANE - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - CARRIGROHANE, or KILGROHANMORE, a parish, partly in the county of the city of CORK, but chiefly in the barony of BAR RETTS, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 4 miles (W. by S.) from Cork; containing 1921 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the south bank of the river Lee, over which is a stone bridge connecting it with the parish of Inniscarra, and on the new line of road through Magourney to Macroom. The whole comprises 2578 acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £4655 per annum; and that part of it which is included within the barony of Barretts contains 1556 acres, valued at £2136, according to the county estimate. The land is of excellent quality, and the farms, being in the occupation of persons of capital, are in an excellent state of cultivation. From the low price of grain, the produce of the dairy and the grazing of cattle have been found more profitable than growing corn; the lands are therefore being converted into dairy farms. The parish forms part of the limestone district that extends from near the source of the river Bride, along its southern bank, across the vale to the west of the city of Cork, and passing through its southern suburbs, terminates at Blackrock. The quarrying of limestone, and manufacture of gunpowder at Ballincoffig encourage that industry among the people of which the fruits are seen in their comfortable appearance and the improved state of their habitations. On the river Lee are some extensive mills, capable of manufacturing from 350 to 400 sacks of flour weekly. About a mile and half from the church are several very handsome houses, occupied by the officers connected with the garrison of Ballincollig.
The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Cork united from time immemorial to the rectories of Curricuppane and Corbally, and to one-fourth of the rectory of Kinneagh, which four parishes constitute the corps of the precentorship of the cathedral of St. Finbarr, Cork: the tithes of the parish amount to £330 and of the whole union to £943. The church is a small plain edifice, situated near the river Lee, to the repairs of which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have recently made a grant of £143. There is no glebe-house in the union, but a glebe of 22 acres and 38 perches. In the R. C. divisions this parish, together with the parishes of Kilnaglory and Inniskenny, and a small part of that of Ballinaboy, form the union or district of Ballincollig, where there is a chapel. There are male and female parochial schools supported by subscriptions; a national school at Ballincollig, in which are about 100 boys and 40 girls; and a Sunday school supported by the rector. Behind the church are considerable remains of the ancient castle, and the fine ruins of a more modern house, of great strength, of which nearly the whole of the outer walls are remaining. The turrets, pierced with loop-holes, which project from the upper story of the latter building, indicate that it was built about the reign of Queen Elizabeth, but the castle is evidendy much older and both were ruined in the war of 1641. At Balincollig are the ruins of an extensive castle, situated on an isolated rock which rises in the midst of a fertile plain. This castle was built by the Barrett family, in the reign of Edw. III. William Barrett joined in the insurrection of the Earl of Desmond against Elizabeth, but was pardoned by Her Majesty and received into favour. In the war of 1641 it was in the possession of the insurgents, who were dispossessed by Cromwell in 1645: it was garrisoned for Jas. II. in 1689, but after his flight fell into decay, and is now a stately ruin, with a very strong and lofty square tower still nearly perfect.
CORBALLY - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - CORBALLY, a parish, in the barony of BARRETTS, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 53 (S.W) from Cork. It is situated on the road from Cork to Bandon, and is a rectory, in the diocese of Cork, two-third parts of which are appropriate to the vicars choral of the cathedral of St. Finbarr, Cork, the remaining third forming part of the union of Carrigrohane and of the corps of the precentorship of Cork. The tithes amount to £70, of which £46. 13. 4. is payable to the vicars choral, and £23. 6. 8. to the precentor.
INNISKENNY - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - INNISKENNY or INCHKENNY, a parish, partly in the barony of BARRETTS, county of CORK, but chiefly in the county of the city of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 4 miles (S.W) from Cork, on the old road to Bandon; containing 1290 inhabitants. It comprises 3810 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act; the greater portion of the land is under tillage, though in the part nearest to the city there are some large dairy farms, and there are about 400 acres of waste and bog. The soil of the higher grounds is poor and stony; the system of agriculture, which was previously very backward, has been greatly improved since the opening of the new line of road to Bandon. The seats are Waterfall, the residence of T Austin, Esq.; and Castle White, of G. M. White, Esq. It is a rectory in the diocese of Cork, and the corps of the prebend of Inniskenny in Cork cathedral, in the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes amount to £369. 4. 7. The church, a small plain edifice with a low tower and spire, was built by a gift of £600 from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1809. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union of Carrigrohane. About 20 children are taught in the parochial school, which was built and is supported by the present incumbent. About a mile beyond the church, on the old road to Bandon, are the remains of the abbey of Ballymacadane, founded about the year 1450 by Cormac McCarthy, for nuns of the order of St. Augustine, consisting only of the side walls and gables.
KILNAGLORY - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - KILNAGLORY, a parish, partly in the county of the city of CORK, but chiefly in the barony of BARRETTS, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 5 miles (WS.W) from Cork, on the old road from Ballincollig to Ovens; containing 1129 inhabitants. This parish, which is situated in the heart of a retired district, comprises 4558 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £3365 per ann. A portion of it dips into the limestone district near Ovens, and again near Ballincollig castle, but the stone lies too deep to be profitably worked, as it can be easily procured from the adjoining parishes. The southern portion of the parish, adjoining Inniskenny, rests entirely upon a substratum of clay-slate. The surface is hilly and the land full of springs, which is a great impediment to cultivation, especially in wet seasons. The northern or lower portion partakes of the rich and excellent quality of the limestone plain of which it forms a part, and the soil is extremely fertile. About one-third of the land is in pasture, and the remainder under tillage; the system of agriculture is improving; the holdings being in the possession of a few individuals, who have both skill and capital, are in an excellent state of cultivation. Here is Ballinora, the seat of J. Beamish, Esq. The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Cork, partly constitut ing the corps of the prebend of Kilnaglory, in the cathedral church, and partly appropriate to the treasurer of St. Finbarr's Cork; and in 1785 episcopally united to the rectory and vicarage of Athnowen, and in the patronage of the Bishop. The tithes amount to £360, of which £325 is payable to the prebendary, and £35 to the treasurer. In the R. C. divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Ballincollig; there is a neat chapel at Ballinora. About 45 children are taught in a private school. There are several raths or forts.

SLATER'S 1846 DIRECTORY - BALLINCOLLIG
A VILLAGE, in the parish of Carrigrohane, barony of Barretts, county of Cork, is five miles from Cork, situated on the main road between that city and Killarney. Its chief importance is derived from the extensive gunpowder mills belonging to Mr. Tobin, and the cavalry and infantry barracks, which are of great magnitude. The country around is in high state of cultivation, and is besides delightfully picturesque. Near to the village are the ruins of Ballincollig castle, once a structure of considerable extent. The numerous seats of the gentry, of which many occupy charming situations, add to the beauty of this district. The places of worship are the parish church of Carrigrohane, a plain structure, about a mile from the village; and a Roman Catholic chapel. A national school and a dispensary are the principal charitable institutions. Ballincollig (North and South) contained, in 1841, 1,721 inhabitants.

(CE 3/10/1849) - COLLISION BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND CONSTABULARY NEAR BLARNEY - [From Our Reporter] - The following is a correct account of the above proceeding as ascertained in Ballincollig, by one of our Reporters, who was despatched to that place on the arrival of the rumour in the city. As stated in the preceeding account, a large number of small farmers and agricultural labourers assembled on Sunday week and cut down the corn on the farm of Widow Forde, which they put into sheaves and sacks, and stored in one of the adjoining houses. Keepers were placed on this house at the direction of Sir George Colthurst, the landlord of the farm; and those men remained in possession up to yesterday. About ten o clock yesterday morning men and cars were seen approaching this house from every road in the niehgbourhood, and, by the time they had all assembled, it was calculated there were upwards of two hundred men, armed with reaping hooksm pitch-forks, and other instruments used for agricultural purposes; and thirty-six cars in attendance. At this time there were twelve or thirteen keepers in the interior of the house in which the corn had been placed; and, on the main body of the persons in possession of the cars arriving before the house, one of them, who appeared to be the leader of the party, summoned the bailiffs three times 'to give up the house in the Queen's name.' With this threat the keepers refused to comply, whereupon the house was attacked, some of the party ascended the roof, and commenced removing the slates, through which they quickly obtained a view of the inmates of the barn. The persons appointed to protect the corn, seeing that resitance was useless, escaped through the door, without much obstruction from the party outside, and no injury beyond a wound inflicted on one of them by a pitchfork. Sir G. Colthurst, JP, Mr. Hussey, JP, and a clerk of Mr. Hussey, came before Mr. Tobin, JP, where the clerk swore an information, and the police were ordered out under the control of Mr. Tobin. The party proceeded to the farm of the Widow Forde, about two miles from Ballincollig, where they found thirty-six cars drawn up in line, and the people around them busily employed in transferring the corn from the barn to the cars; and effort was instantly made to arrest the most prominent of the party, and rescue the corn, but a vigorous opposition was offered, and it was found that it would be useless for eight policemen to contend with at least over 100 men armed with formidable weapons in a close encounter. In the affray consequent upon the demand of the police, Curry, the bailiff, of Sir George Colthurst, was knocked down, and his leg brokern in three places. His life is said to be despaired of. The police were compelled to retire, but succeeded in capturing two of the persons most conspicuously engaged. An express was then sent off to the military barrack at Ballincollig, and two troops of Lancers, accompanied by a party of fifty Infantry, started for the scene of the encounter, and, after a rapid march, overtook the cavalcade of laden cars, at places called Knockamore and Knockavillen, and compelled them instantly to halt. Finding that resistance in the face of so considerable a force was useless, some of the party engaged untackled their horses and made off, at least, temporarily, with the loss of their butts, and others escaped by removing the corn from their cars, and pursuing some of the bye roads that led to their respective homes. The majority of the party was there detained by the military until the arrival of the police, who had retired for a reinforcement, when nine persons were arrested, making eleven prisoners taken into custody. It is somewhat singular that all the prisoners arrested are from the neighbourhood of Innishannon, a distance of thirteen or fourteen miles from the scene of this proceeding. It was stated that the Widow Forde held about sixty acres of land from Sir George Colthurst, but the amount of rent she owed was not ascertained. In the precipitate flight which was made on the appearance of the military, a considerable quantity of the corn was thrown on the road, inside the ledges, and in other places likely to escape detection, and, for the discovery of this portion of the property, it appears that Sir George Colthurst has sent out men and horses to scour the country, and recover as much of the corn as the hurry and confusion of its former possessors obliged them to abandon.

HENRY & COGHLAN'S GENERAL DIRECTORY OF CORK FOR 1867 - BALLINCOLLIG & CARRIGROHANE
The post town of Ballincollig is about 5 miles from Cork, to the west, on the road to Macroom. It is a military depot, and possesses extensive cavalry barracks. The manufacture of gunpowder is extensively carried on here, in the establishment known as the Royal Gunpowder mills, in which a large number of workmen receive continual employment. To the south of the town is a castle, which was built by the Barrett family in the reign of Edward III. In 1600, William Barrett, of Ballincollig, submitted to the Queen's mercy, having been concerned in Desmond's rebellion. This castle was garrisoned by Cromwell, and, also, during the wars for King James II. From the castle of Carrigrohane, in the liberties of Cork, the river Lee runs through this barony about six miles, dividing it from Muskery. Upon this river are several seats. On the north side is Inniscarra.
