As the companion tells it
Coming up near Arklow, in Wicklow. Back in the time of Lord Grey's campaign against Feagh Mac Hugh, this was one of six garrisons meant to trap him. The plan called for 200 footmen and 50 horsemen to be stationed here at Arklow or Wicklow, to defend all that side of the country towards the sea. The garrisons together would keep Feagh Mac Hugh from resting at home or stirring abroad without being caught, and his cattle, his creaghts, could not be above ground without falling into their hands or starving, as he had no fastness or refuge for them.

As the companion tells it
As you pass through Naas in Kildare, there are ancient round mounds, raised by human labour, still to be seen here and at Clonard in Meath. They are believed to have been burial tumuli of the old people, from a time before cemeteries were in use. The same kind of round, raised mounds are found elsewhere in Ireland, and some had chambers inside, sealed for centuries. One such hill near Sligo, close to Castle Connor, stayed shut until 1640, when a cattle driver stumbled on its entrance and broke it open.

As the companion tells it
As you pass through Dublin, this is the city where the author's brother lived and practised medicine, serving as Physician General of the English Forces in Ireland during the bloody rebellion. From his position he had direct knowledge of the diseases that struck the soldiers. Alongside the malignant fever and looseness already known as Ireland's reigning complaints, he saw violent coughs of long duration, breathlessness, sciatica, and painful stranguries affecting so many men they might have been mistaken for native sicknesses of the land. His brother assured the author, though, that these illnesses arose not from any defect of the climate but from the cold and hardship the soldiers endured on their marches. They went to the fields in cold and foul weather, sometimes marching whole days, even several days together, through very dirty and wet ways, their feet and legs continually cold and wet. They were sometimes constrained to pass through water up as high as the knees and waist, and after all that hardship in the daytime, to lie in the night upon the wet ground in the open air. That, he said, was what caused the diseases in such great numbers.

Garrison at Monaghan and wards at Enniskillen and Belturbet

The last 500 soldiers of the Ulster garrison plan were to remain at the fort at Monaghan, with detachments drawn into wards at Enniskillen, Belturbet, and the Blackwater fort to keep the keys of the country toward O'Reilly's country and the Pale.

Connaght, the which I know doe so stronglj command all the passages that way. as that none can pass &om Ulster into Connaght, without their leave. The last 500 shall also remaine in their fort at Monaghan, and some of them be drawne into wardes, to keep the kaies of all that conntrey, both downwarda, and also towards O Relies countrie, and the pale; and some at Eniakillin, some at Belturbnt, some at the Blacke Forti and so along that river, as I formerly shewed in the first planting of them. And moreover at every of these forts, I woald have the seate of a town layde forth and incompasBed, in the which I would wish that there should inhabi* tanta of all sortes, as merchants, ardficers, and hnsbandmen, be placed, to whom there should charters and iraunchisea be graunted to incorporate them. The which, as it will be no matter of difficultie to draw out of England persons which wonld very gladly be so placed, so would it ia short space tume those part^ to great commodity, and bring ere long to her Majestic much profit; for those places are so fit for trade and trafficke, having most convenient ont-gates by divers rivera to the sea, and in-gates to the richest parts of the land, that they would soone be enriched, and mightfly enlarged, for the very seating of the garrisons by them ; besides the safetie and assnranee which they shall worke unto them, will idso draw thither store of people and trade, as I have seen ensample at Mariborogh and Philipstowne in Leinster, where by reason of those two fortes, though there were but small wardea left in them there are two good townes now growne, which are the greatest stay of both those two countries.
Eudox- Indeed (me thinkes) three such townes as you say, would do very' well in those places with the garrisons, and in short space would be so angmented, as they would be able with little to in-wall themselves strongly; but, for the pUnting of all the rest of the conntrey, what order would you take?

As the companion tells it
As you pass through Ballyshannon, you are crossing one of the old passages toward Connacht that soldiers were once sent to hold. A plan was laid to place 500 men at the fort upon Lough Erne, and from that garrison to draw out wards and lay them at Fermanagh, at Belleek, and here at Ballyshannon. The purpose was to command all the narrows and crossings on the way into Connacht. So this town, sitting where the river and the roads squeeze through, was picked as a point to stop movement westward.

As the companion tells it
As you pass through Cork, you are in a city whose name may come from the Irish word for a marshy place. It was here that Gilla-Aeda O'Mugin, bishop of Cork, died in 1173 at a very old age. He is counted among the primary benefactors of the church, and his immediate successors were Gregorius and Reginaldus. The first bishop of Cork was Finbarre, who founded the cathedral and died on the 7th of the kalends of October, though the year is uncertain.

As the companion tells it
As you pass through Cork, you are moving through territory once divided between two men named Stephanides and Cogan. Two years after a charter of 1177, they split seven cantreds between them, Stephanides taking those near the city from the east, Cogan four from the west. The city itself was held in common, and 24 cantreds still remained to be shared out equally between them. Gerald Cambrensis, the writer of that age, tells us little about the lands they granted to others, because Cogan's death in 1184 brought the whole distribution to a halt. Some have put that death in 1189, but the text says 1184. So the land grants stopped, and what had been a steady carving up of conquered territory around this city went unfinished.
