Coolbeg Hewetsons attainted under James II
Coolbeg · townland · Galway · 1689
Michael and John Hewetson of Coolbeg, near Ballyshannon, were included in the Act of Attainder passed by James II's Dublin Parliament in 1689, having fled Ireland for England or elsewhere as Protestants.
Read the passage
Michael Hewetson, of Ballyshannon, had a son Michael, who resided at Coolbeg, in the parish of Kilbarron, at a short distance from Ballyshannon. In the Act of Attainder, passed by the Parliament held by James II in Dublin, in 1689, were included “Michael Hueson (Hewetson), of Coolbegg, gent.,” and “ John Hueson (Hewetson), of the same, gent.” — no doubt a brother of Michael — who were amongst those persons from the County Donegal who had absented themselves from the Kingdom, and gone to England or elsewhere. (See Archbishop King’s “ State of the Protestants in Ireland,” p. 24). In 1695 and 1697 this Michael Hewetson was one of the Commissioners for the County Donegal, for assessing the poll tax, under the Acts of 7 Will. Ill, c. 15, and 9 Will. Ill, c. 8; and in 1698 he held a similar post, for assessing the tax granted by the Act 10 Will. Ill, c. 3.
He lived to attain the age of eighty-six years, and died unmarried on 2nd November, 1753, having made his will dated 27th September, 1753, by which he devised his freehold and leasehold property to nephews, members of the Reynolds family.

Over the stable-yard gateway at Cradockstown is inserted a small slab bearing two impaled coats-of-arms with a helmet, crest of a stag's head, and the motto 'Sub hoc signum vinces.'

Kilcro Church-site obliterated at Kilkea Lower
Kilkea Lower · townland · Kildare · 1905–1906
The old churchyard site of Kilcro on the townland of Kilkea Lower was reported to the Society as obliterated, part of a pattern of destruction of ancient sites in the locality.
Read the passage
A year ago I brought to the notice of the Society the obliteration of the Kilcro Church-site on the townland of Kilkea Lower. This year I am sorry to report the partial levelling and ploughing over of a small Moat, or Pagan burial-mound, which stood in the same field as the old churchyard at Birtown, four miles due east of Athy. Years ago an old man in the locality, Michael O’Shaughnessy, of Garryliolden, told me the tradition was that this moat was erected over the grave of “ three kings.” The “ big wind ” of 1903 blew down the last of the old skeoch-bushes on it.
The insatiable greed for adding a few more perches to the tillage has been the cause of the destruction of several ancient earth-works in this locality, by English and Scotch farmers — done, too, in spite of the ill-luck which is said to follow such so-called improvements.

Offaly Castle ruin fragment at Kiltaghan/Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect · street · Cork · 1760
A small fragment of masonry at Mount Prospect townland (formerly part of Kiltaghan) is marked on the Ordnance Survey map as "Offaly Castle," though the author notes it is called Kiltaghan Castle in the 1760 Rathangan Manor Book, and no authority exists for the Offaly Castle name.
Read the passage
The townland of Mount Prospect was formerly a portion of the Kiltaghan townland. On the former is a small fragment of masonry, marked on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey Map as “ Offaly Castle.” I can find no authority for this name, as it is called Kiltaghan Castle in the Rathangan Manor Book of 1760, now at Carton. The same map records the “ old burial-place ” at a spot now marked on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey Map as a gravel-pit ; it lies a quarter of a mile to the south-east, of Mount Prospect House.
On the 26th of February, 1632, the Earl of Kildare granted a thirty-one years’ lease of the lands of Kiltaghan and “ Shanrelicke,” to Edward Dongan, of Posseckstown (in 1617), and of Rathangan (in 1625), brother of Sir Walter Dongan, Bart., of Castletown, near Celbridge. Edward Dongan died about the year 1639, leaving a daughter Jane, married to Christopher Archbold of Timolin and Crookstown, County Kildare. The rent for the above lands was to be paid at the Earl’s Chief House or Castle of Maynooth, as well as “ two cuppell of fatt capones every Newe Yeare’s Day.” Shanrelick as a place-name is obsolete. It is now included in the townland of Kiltaghan, and the “ old burial-place ” above mentioned is probably the identical “ Shan relic,” as the name implies.

As the companion tells it
Along here at Mount Prospect, there's a small fragment of masonry that the Ordnance Survey map marks as Offaly Castle, though the author finds no authority for that name. The 1760 Rathangan Manor Book at Carton calls it Kiltaghan Castle instead. Mount Prospect was once part of Kiltaghan, and on the 26th of February 1632 the Earl of Kildare granted a 31-year lease of these lands and Shanrelicke to Edward Dongan of Rathangan. Dongan died around 1639, leaving a daughter Jane married to Christopher Archbold. The rent was payable at the Earl's castle of Maynooth with "two cuppell of fatt capones every Newe Yeare's Day." Dongan was brother of Sir Walter Dongan of Castletown near Celbridge. Shanrelicke is now obsolete, absorbed into Kiltaghan, and an old burial-place south-east of Mount Prospect House, now a gravel-pit, is probably the identical Shanrelic, as the name implies.

Old Bawn Rated for Twelve Chimneys in 1659 Hearth Money Rolls
near Old Bawn · minor feature · Wexford · 1659
The importance of Old Bawn House is shown by its being rated for twelve chimneys in the Hearth Money Rolls of 1659, an unusually large rating for the time, indicating the scale and status of the house.
Read the passage
The importance of the house is shown by its being rated for twelve chimneys in the Hearth Money Rolls of 1659 — which was a very large rating for that time.
It will be no small wonder to anyone that this quaint old house has its ghost. On the night of the 8th September every year may be seen, by those who are courageous enough to watch, a coach, drawn by six headless horses, containing two occupants, and attended by two footmen, drive up to the door of Old Bawn ; but history does not record who the travellers may be supposed to represent, although the tradition points to one being the Archbishop.

Mylerstown Churchyard tombstone misattributed to Archdeacon Hewetson
Mylerstown · townland · Kildare · 1709
A tombstone in Mylerstown Churchyard was long supposed to belong to Archdeacon Michael Hewetson due to a mistaken reading of its inscription, leading biographer John Keble to wrongly date the Archdeacon's death to 1709.
Read the passage
It may be recollected that the tombstone in Mylerstown Churchyard was supposed, at one time, to be that of Archdeacon Michael Hewetson, a younger brother of the Rev. Christopher Hewetson, owing to a mistaken and partial reading of the inscription ; and that the Rev. John Keble, in his Life of the Archdeacon’s early friend, Thomas Wilson, Bishop of Sodor and Man, was thereby led to the conclusion that Archdeacon Michael Hewetson died in 1709. The date on the tombstone had not been made out ; and as the entry of the matriculation of the Archdeacon in Trinity College, Dublin, showed that he was born in 1648, and 66 was the age appearing on the tombstone, the date of his death was thus fixed as 1709.
But he lived many years longer. An entry in the old Vestry book of Ballyshannon, made in 1718, recites that “ the Rev. Mr. Archdeacon Michael Hewetson out of bis good will to the parish, and town of Ballyshannon in particular, is willing and desirous to erect a schoolhouse for the instruction of poor children, &c.” Further on there is a record that the offer was accepted, and a site in the churchyard selected ; and the schoolhouse was subsequently built.
