MONANIMY CHURCHYARD – James Buckley in ‘Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead in Ireland, Vol. VII, 1907-08’ Transcribed by Anita Sheahan Coraluzzi. - Not a vestige of the ancient church survives- a circumstance, perhaps, unprecedented in this country. Some ruins existed a century and a half since, according to Smith’s A. and P. State of County and City of Cork. A modern Protestant church, in the erection of which the old church was probably utilised, stood here, but was taken down about fifteen years ago. The late Rev. Richard Ahern, the Parish Priest, acquired the pews, and had them installed in the Annakissy church, where they are now in use. After a close inspection of most of the headstones in this cemetery, the one bearing the oldest and most interesting inscription I could find, was erected to a father of the flock. The inscription appears in no fewer than three different languages--English, Latin, and Irish---and is probably unique:
KELHR - Here Lyeth the Body Of the Rev Dan Kelhr PP of Monanimy Who Died Feby 20th 1751 Aged 56 Years Resquiescat in Pace

CARRIGLEAMLEARY – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 –CARRIG, or CARRIGLEAMLEARY, a parish, in the barony of FERMOY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 2 (N.E.) from Mallow; containing 1133 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the north bank of the river Blackwater, and on the north road from Mallow to Fermoy; it comprises 3238 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £3462 per annum. The land is good and mostly under an improved system of tillage, with the exception of Mount Nagle, which affords good pastuarage; there is no bog. Limestone abounds, and is quarried for agricultural and other uses. Carrig Park, the seat of W. H. Franks, Esq., is beautifully situated on the banks of the Blackwater, which are here richly wooded: the ruins of Carrig casde, on the summit of a rock overhanging the river, form an interesting and picturesque object as seen from the opposite bank; and the whole demesne, in which are the vestiges of an ancient burial ground, abounds with richly varied scenery This parish was formerly united to that of Rahan, and on its separation about 30 years since, part of it was added to Rahan, to make the divisions more equal. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is appropriate to the vicars choral of the cathedral of Christ Church, Dublin. The tithes amount to £270, and are equally divided between the vicars choral and the vicar. A neat small church, in the later English style, but without a tower, is now in progress of erection on the site of the old parish church, part of the walls of which will be incorporated in the new building; the estimated expense is £222. 10., towards defraying which the Ecclesiastical Commission ers have granted £192. 10. 8. Divine service is in the mean time performed in a private house. There is neither glebe-house nor glebe. In the R. C. divisions this parish forms part of the union or district of Killavullane of Kealavullen, at which place, and also at Annakissy, is a chapel. There are two private schools, in which about 50 children are educated.
CLENORE – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 –CLENORE, a parish, in the barony of FERMOY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 2 miles (S.) from Doneraile; contain ing 1303 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the north side of the river Blackwater, and on the road from Mallow to Castletown-Roche, and contains 4163 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, about two-thirds of which are arable and the remainder pasture. The land is in general of superior quality; and by the exertions of Pierce Nagle, Esq., irrigation and other improvements in agriculture have been extensively introduced. There is a small quantity of wet bog, and abundance of limestone, which is worked for building and agricultural purposes. Culm exists, and a shaft has been sunk, from which some fine specimens have been obtained. The principal seats are Anakissy, the residence of Pierce Nagle, Esq.; Killura, of Cornelius Linihan, Esq.; and Castle-Kevin, of E. Badham Thornhill, Esq. The ancient castle was the property of the Roches, and the present extensive castellated mansion was rebuilt by Mr. Thornhill after designs by Mr. Flood, in the Elizabethan style. It consists of a regular front flanked by semicircular towers with embattled parapets: at the back is an octangular tower, from which the light is thrown into the grand hail through a window of stained glass, exhibiting the family arms, &c. The entrance is through a porch of hewn limestone, and a skreen of the same material extends along the front of the building.
The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, united from the earliest period with the rectories of Ahacross and Templemolloghy, part of the rectory of Ballyvourney, and the nomi nal vicarage of Rogeri Calvi, which only exists in the incumbent’s titles and the diocesan records: these parishes constitute the corps of the chancellorship of the cathedral of Cloyne, in the patronage of the Bishop. The tithes of this parish amount to £350, and the entire tithes of the union payable to the incumbent amount to £791 14. 5. The church is a neat modern edifice with a square tower, built in 1811, near the ruins of one of ancient date, by aid of a gift of £800 from the late Board of First Fruits. There is no glebe-house, but a glebe of about 6 acres. In the R. C. divisions this parish is one of the three that form the union or district of Monanimy, which has chapels at Kealavullen, in the parish of Monanimy, and at Anakissy, in Mr. Nagle’s demesne. There is a private school, in which are about 24 children.
KILLAVULLEN – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 –KEALAVOLLEN, or KILLAVULLANE, a village, in the parish of MONANIMY, barony of FERMOY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 2 miles (S.W) from Castletownroche, on the river Blackwater, and at the intersection of the road from Mallow to Fermoy by that from Doneraile to Cork: the population is returned with the parish. This place is picturesquely situated at the foot of the range called the Nagle mountains, from the name of the family that for several centuries possessed this district, and whose descendants still reside in the neighbourhood. The Blackwater is here crossed by a neat stone bridge of three arches, at the south end of which is an immense rock overhanging the river, the base of which has been worn away by the action of the water, and is perforated so as to form a low and nar row cavern of considerable extent, resembling a subterraneous passage. The road from the bridge winds round the steep rock, and branches off towards the east through a romantic mountain pass on the old road to Fermoy. The village, which consists of several comfortable houses, is the property of James Henessy, Esq., by whom its vicinity has been extensively planted, and whose mansion, Ballymackmoy House, stands on the summit of the rock before mentioned, and commands an extensive view of the surrounding scenery; which is here of the most picturesque and diversified character. The air is very salubrious, and the river affords excellent salmon and trout fishing. Here are the R. C. chapel of the district, a station of the constabulary police, and the neat residence of the Rev. G. Spaight, rector of Monanimy; and in the immediate vicinity is a large boulting-mill, lately discontinued.
MONANIMY – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 –MONANIMY, a parish, in the barony of FERMOY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 5 miles (N.E.) from Mallow, on the river Blackwater and on the high road from Mallow to Fermoy; containing 2751 inhabitants. The estates of Monanimy, Ballygriffin, and Carrigacunna formerly belonged to the ancient family of the Nagles, the head of which has for several centuries been settled in the vicinity; the two former have passed by female connection into other families, the last was the residence of Sir Richard Nagle, successively Attorney-General, Lord Chief Justice, Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, and private secretary to Jas. II., whom he accompanied into exile; he died abroad, and the estate was forfeited; it is now the property of H. B. Foott, Esq. The parish, which comprises 10,637 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £4140 per ann., is situated on both sides of the Blackwater, and contains part of the range called the Nagle Mountains on the south side of that river, affording good pasturage; the land on the north side, which comprises about one-third of the parish, is good and chiefly in tillage, and the state of agriculture is improving. There is a large tract of bog, that supplies not only the neighbourhood, but the market of Mallow, with fuel. Considerable improvements have been made by H. B. Foott and Jas. Hennessy, Esqrs.: those of the former consist of flourishing plan tations extending up a romantic mountain glen on the old road to Fermoy; and those of the latter are in connection with the village of Kealavollen, or Killavullane, under which head they are noticed, together with his seat, Ballymackmoy House. Carrigacunna Castle, the seat of H. B. Foott, Esq., is a handsome modern mansion, adjoining the ruins of the old casde, the approach to which from Kealavollen is through some young plantations leading to a grove of venerable oak- trees, forming with the castle an interesting feature in the surrounding beautiful and diversified scenery. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, and in the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes amount to £400. The church, a small neat building with a tower and spire, is situated on the northern bank of the Blackwater: it was erected in 1810, on the site of an ancient preceptory of Knights Hospitallers that formerly existed here, and was aided by a gift of £800 from the late Board of First Fruits. In the R. C. divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Kealavollen, comprising also those of Clenore and Wallstown, and containing the chapels of Kealavollen and Anakissy: the latter is in the parish of Clenore; the former, a small plain building, is about to be rebuilt on a site given by Jas. Hennessy, Esq.: there is a small cottage residence for the parish priest. A school of about 80 children is maintained by a bequest of £18 per annum from the late Jos. Nagle Esq., of Ballygriffin, for 30 years from 1814; and there are two private schools, containing about 90 children. The castle of Monanimy is by some supposed to have been built by the Knights Templars; and by others, it and the castle of Carrigacunna are said to have been erected by the Nagles, to whom this district formerly belonged, and after whom the “Nagle Moun tains” are named. The former, which is the property of the Hon. Douglas Halliburton, has been fitted up, and is now occupied by a respectable farmer. Of the ancient preceptory nothing now remains but a few fragments of a wall near the church. The celebrated Edmund Burke passed his early childhood at Ballyduff, in this parish, the seat of his maternal grandfather, where he remained about five years, and received the first rudiments of his education at the ruined castle of Monanimy, in which a sort of hedge school was then held. He always retained a great partiality for these places, which he often revisited in subsequent years. —See KEALAVOLLEN.
WALLSTOWN – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 –WALLSTOWN, a parish, in the barony of FERMOY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 2 miles (E.S.E.) from Doneraile, on the road to Castletown-Roche; containing 1021 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the river Awbeg, by which it is partly intersected, and comprises 3054 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £2679 per ann.; the land is of medium quality, and chiefly in tillage, and the state of agriculture is much improved; limestone abounds and is used both for building and agricultural purposes. Fairs are held at Drumdeer on July 12th and Aug. 12th for cattle and pigs: at the village of Dunavalla is a mill for grinding oats. The river Awbeg winds very beautifully through this district and is famous for its fine trout. The gentlemen’s seats are Ballywalter, the residence of R. Weisted, Esq.; Landscape, of Jas. Hammond, Esq.; the Glebe, of the Rev. John Gavan; and Wallstown, of T. Baily, Esq. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, united to the particle of Ballygregan (a towniand now considered to form part of the parish of Wallstown), and in the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes amount to £416, and the glebe comprises 16 statute acres. The glebe-house is a commodious and well-built mansion, erected in 1829 at an expense of £1 100, of which the late Board of First Fruits gave £200 and lent £600, on condition of its being used for the performance of divine service until a parish church could be erected, and it is accordingly used for that purpose. In the R. C. divisions the parish is in the union or district of Monanimy, or Kealavullen. The ruins of the church still exist; immediately adjoining is the ancient castle of Wallstown, which originally belonged to the family of Wall, and was granted by Cromwell to one of his soldiers of the name of Ruddock.

EVICTIONS IN KILLAVULLEN
1828 - 1843
Two accounts of evictions in Killavullen, from the Foott and Nagle Estates were published in ‘The Cork Examiner’ of 1844, the first in February (1) and the second in October (2) with additional information from The Devon Commission* as published in ‘The Cork Examiner’ of 1845 and a report from Castletownroche Petty Sessions**, 1845.
(1) EVICTIONS AT CARRIGACUNNA, KILLAVULLEN (CE 9/2/1844) - THE CLEARANCE SYSTEM AT CARRIGACUNNA, KILLAVULLEN -TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK EXAMINER - SIR – The Constitution a newspaper having taken under its protection Mr. Henry Baldwin Foott, and the depopulating system now extensively carried on at Carrigacunna, and the same organ having thought proper to abuse Mr. John Quinlan, the active Poor Law Guardian of Monanimy, who in the discharge of his duty at the Mallow Board spiritedly exposed that vile and ruinous system and its instigators. I wish to lay the particulars of the case before the public.
The Batterberry family came to reside at Carrigacunna under the Footts more than 80 years ago; their farm contained 96 acres plantation. It was originally in 4 parts, but for years has been divided into 8 lots; eight occupying farmers enjoying 12 acres plantation measure each. Two of them lately left the farm after selling the interest of their 24 acres to two of the six farmers remaining, who let 5 small tenements varying from one to three acres each being the very worst of the farm, beside, there are a great many haggards and houses built by the humble occupiers along the mountain brow of Cloughoula, which forms the southern boundary of Carrigacunna. There are, or rather were (for seven families have left) 31 families on the farm, comprising 175 souls; 31 families containing 167 souls are under orders to quit; some are already gone.
Only one family of 8 persons is allowed to remain – that of Mr. Henry B. Foott’s steward (John Batterberry) who had the good luck to get from his employer after 40 year’s service, a new lease of his house and garden some time ago, he having a lot of 13 acres in another part of Carrigacunna. The Batterberrys held the farm for a lease of 3 lives, who lived to a great age. The last died about three months since at the patriarchal age of 93 years which allowed the occupiers to enjoy the lands for about 80 years. The children and grandchildren of the lessees are on the farm, which Mr. Foott, (the landlord) is in possession of, and working with a large gang of men, demolishing ditches and old fixtures that were not disturbed for the last century. None of the stock is allowed on the lands. The owners are obliged to confine and feed them in their out-houses. From the quarters they are getting they must be off as soon as they get a place to enter. The farmers are not going without capital, two of them have got farms from respectable landlords and paid fines. John Batterberry, the last of the three lives died early on Saturday, the 25th of November last, and Mr. Henry B. Foott, demanded and received possession at noon on the same day. The family where the corpse lay and another being the only parties who refused the modest landlord to quit on that day. The reoussants surrendered in two days after.
Mr. Foott is giving as a great boon to any of the poor people who will tumble their cabins and quit –viz., the timber and thatch – one person named Rorke, who took the proffered reward was living wretchedly for the last 3 months under the arch of a lime kiln. I have seen the habitation, and the wife told me that they were compelled to remain up on wet nights, being unable to lie on the sop from the rain coming down, ‘till eventually they had to fly entirely from this miserable abode.
A widow Kennefick’s little boy was summoned by Mr. Foott for a trifling trespass. Mr. Foott told her that he would forgive the offence, and give the timber and thatch if she would be off; she complied, being unwilling to meet a plaintiff in Court who happened to be the J.P. and Judge – while the widow was out looking for a customer for the thatch for which she got the sum of one shilling, Timothy Magner (Mr. Foot’s Watchman), came to tumble the cabin. The widow’s sick disabled daughter was putting a plaster to her leg, when the attack was made on the Castle; she ordered the assailant away, he insisted on her quitting to the d___l, the lame girl scrambled out of the cabin with her pot in one hand and the blanket in the other, and remained sitting under the canopy of heaven until her mother’s return. It is needless to say the fortress was taken.
The mother and daughter have signed a statement which is witnessed, containing the above facts, 12 families were put out of Carrigacunna about 5 years ago. These things are to be deplored in a Christian country. The parish is quite peaceable, and I hope it will continue so. I enclose a list of heads of families drawn up and their number. - I am, Sir, your obedient servant, KILLAVULLENSIS - Killavullen, February 5, 1844

STATEMENTS FROM THE KENNEFICKS
I, Catherine Kennefick, am prepared to declare that I received a summon from Mr. Foott on the day he got possession of my cabin, charging my son with taking the branch of a tree – the branch he took being already broken off. Mr. Foott told me on the same day he would forgive the offence, give the timber and thatch if I tumbled the cabin and left the lands, which offer induced me to comply. - Present _____________ CATHERINE KENNEFICK X her mark - Dec. 23, 1843 - (A true copy)
I, Anne Kennefick, am prepared to declare that while my mother was from home seeking a customer to purchase the thatch of our cabin, Timothy Magner, Mr. Foott’s watchman, came to pull off the thatch without saying a word; I at once asked him what he was about, and to desist until my mother came home – he (Magner) desired me to be off to the devil; I hastened out as well I could, taking the bed-clothes and pot with me, and remained sitting by the ditch until my mother came home. - Present ___________ ANNE KENNEFICK X her mark - Dec. 23, 1843 - (A true copy)
(2) EVICTIONS ON THE NAGLE AND FOOTT ESTATE (CE 16/10/1844)
The second account was published on the 16th of October 1844 as a letter dated Mallow, Oct. 10 1844, and was signed by ‘Erigena’. The great part of the letter rails against the injustices of the land system and the writer states that he is in possession of a large amount of the documentary evidence that was laid before the Landlord and Tenant Commission which had recently visited Mallow*. It is no doubt from this evidence that he quotes the following statistics regarding tenants on the Foott and Nagle estates in Killavullen:-
“.....I defy any man whose heart a generous feeling has ever warmed, to read without emotions of a most distressing kind the subjoined statistics of two properties within a mile or two of each other. The one that of PIERCE NAGLE, Esq. of Anakissy, the other that of HENRY BALDWIN FOOT, Esq., of Carigacunna Castle. I give the details in a tabular form that they may be taken up at a glance. From the former there have been evicted in the years respectively prefixed: –

**(CE 3/9/1845) – Castletownroche Petty Sessions – John Batterberry Sen., of Currigane, appeared to answer the complaint of David Leahy, Caretaker, for the trespass of two cows on the oaten field of H. B. Foott, Esq. It appearing to the Court that the amount of trespass demanded, was paid before summons was taken out or served, he dismissed the case.
William Batterberry appeared to answer the complaint of ___ Hogan, Caretaker, for wilful and malicious trespass upon the property of H. B. Foot, Esq. - Upon the cross-examination of Hogan, by Mr. Twiss, who appeared as Attorney for Batterberry , he admitted that James, the defendant was son to J. Batterberry, whose case was just before dismissed, and that he believed he was steward to Mr. Foott for many years; that the trespass was committed by standing upon a Lime Kiln on Mr. Foott’s property, and talking to the man who was burning lime therein for Mr. Foott; that there was a beaten path to the kiln; that the summons was served by the direction of Mr. Carleton, Mr. Foott’s brother-in-law; but would not swear there was the one fourth of a farthing’s worth of damage done; Mr. Twiss said he would not further trespass upon the Court.
This case was also dismissed. - James Batterberry, also son to John Batterberry then appeared to answer a charge, for having committed wilful trespass upon the property of the said Mr. H. B. Foott, and fishing thereon. - Hogan, who was the witness in this case, admitted on his cross-examination, that the land Batterberry was on was in the possession of a tenant of Mr. Foot’s, and that he himself was not appointed Water Bailiff – and this case was also dismissed.
