The surface is diversified, mountainous in the N.E. and E., and in the N.W. and W.; the centre an undulating plain; the soil varying from light limestone pasture in the N., to deep rich loam along the Shannon in the S.; the W., which is a portion of the Munster coalfield is cold and wet land interspersed with bog. Lime is the principal mineral, but there are valuable lead mines worked at Kilbreckan, Ballyhickey, and Milltown, and some thin seams of coal and culm in the S.W. The produce is almost wholly agricultural. The chief trade is corn and provisions, and some of the best sheep and cattle are reared on the excellent pasturage of this county; coarse linen and hosiery are manufactured for home use. The population in 1861 was 166,275.

Fairies of the Irish Mythology
From The Irish Fireside, Volume 1, Number 24, December 10, 1883
These little Hibernian relatives of Arial and Puck have a weird attractiveness for the student of Irish folk lore, for many reasons and especially because the traditions connected with them explain almost all those superstitious peculiarities which are observable among the Irish peasants. It is the duty of the poet to express in rhythmical periods the aerial origin of what are sometimes called `those grovelling superstitions of the Irish,' but for us it is only left to place before our readers in round quotidianal prose some few of the countless happy and poetic traits peculiar to our Irish elves.
The Irish word `sig' of `sighe,' pronounced `shee,' is the usual generic title applied to this class of preternatural beings. The `feas-shee' and the `ban-shee' belong to this category, meaning respectively man and woman fairy.
The terror with which the name of the banshee is still received by peasants throughout the length and breadth of the land, show us clearly how widely-spread and how deeply-rooted was once the belief in the `good people.'
Thousands of lovely, sensible Irish maidens tremble nightly at their ruddy hearths when the whining of some `moon-baying' mongrel re-echoes in the night air; and stalwarth bouchils, whose brawny frame and supple limb bespeak Sampsonian prowess, grow pale at the mention of the Banshee--the wailing prophetess of anticipated death.
So widespread a feeling as this would justify us in writing a volume, if by doing so, while retaining the antique and the poetic portion of the tradition, we succeeded in eradicating the foolish superstition.
Our senses, as several able metaphysicians argue, give no evidence directly of the existence of the outer world, but only of our own material organism as extended in plain words, we often seem to see and to hear when there is neither sight nor sound presented to us.
This we are especially prone to when in an excited state of mind.
The poor, dreadful banshee, then, to the philosophical mind, is a fraud, but yet no philosopher would be justified in annihilating what by a little skill may be metamorphosed into a very beautiful and harmless myth.
How poetically have our fathers called the whirlwind the sheegavithe, as if it were raised by the wings of the passing fairy host.
To our mind, Aeolus in his Liparian caverns is an unpoetic personification, compared with this Hibernian conception. What a delightful fairy colony are not the sheogues of East Ulster, immortalised by Francis Davis in his `Fairy Serenade'--
`Oh, broad are the lawns of your airy fairy king:
And we'll o'er them glide on the watery wing
Of a lovesick maiden's sigh.
And thy crown I'll plume
With the golden bloom
Of the blue-robed violet's eye;
And we'll fill our glass
From a blade of grass,
And we'll drink to its emerald dye;
While we dance those springs
The young daisy sings,
When she's kissed by the twilight fly.'

origins and history1

Notes on the origins and history of the Crowes of west Clare
The family name: There are two factors in the evolution of the Gaelic name Mac Conchradha to its modern form, Crowe. Firstly there was the transition from one language to another. The English-speaking authorities did their best to capture the sounds of Irish pronunciations, though the results were inevitably only approximations. In modern Irish (after c.1600) the name Mac Conchradha would have been pronounced Mac Con-raw, with some stress on the final aw. ‘From this you can clearly hear the modern anglicised form McEnchroe coming out’ (Luke McInerney email 14 March 2016).
Secondly, the spelling of family names in English did not become (more or less) standardised until the 18th century. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) spelt his name differently in all six of the surviving documents on which his signature appears, none of which is the same as the modern spelling of his name. The pronunciation of his name has probably changed too – from a short a as in shack (so phonetically Shackspeare) to the long a we use for his name today. (See Bill Bryson, Shakespeare, London: Harper Press, 2007, Chap.1.)
The hereditary lands of the McEnchroes: While the detailed ‘recitation’ of these landholdings may provide useful information for Clare historians, the full details are probably not important for our understanding of Crowe family history. For our purposes, we can generalise that these hereditary lands were:
- in a small geographical area in County Clare, in and around the parish of Inagh;
- there was a clearly defined pattern of inheritance which followed Gaelic law and custom;
- this pattern continued for at least 350 years, a hundred of which were after the introduction of English rule and customs.
For a map showing the location of Inagh, and the townlands in that parish (including Skaghvickincrow, the last townland listed), see -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inagh.
Land areas are expressed in ‘quarters’ and ‘cartrons’. A ‘quarter’ is usually defined as 120 acres and a ‘cartron’ as 30 acres. However, these measurements varied according to land productivity – for example, how many cows could pasture on the land, or the quantity of crops it could produce. In less fertile areas the size of a quarter would thus be greater than the average 120 acres.
Hereditary roles: In the Gaelic system, learned families provided services to the ruling dynasty in return for land and protection. These roles were passed down from one generation to the next. For the O’Briens of Thomond, the O’Hickeys were their surgeons, the Clancys their Brehons (judges), the MacBrodys their chroniclers, and so on. It was thought the McEnchroes might have had a hereditary role as attorneys for the O’Briens because of their frequent appearance as witnesses and conveyancers in the Inchiquin Manuscripts, but this conclusion is not supported by the evidence.
Thomond: This was the territory in the west of Ireland under the lordship of the O’Brien dynasty from about the 12th century up to 1543 when Murrough O’Brien ceded authority to the English crown. In return, he was re-granted much of this land and given the title of 1st Earl of Thomond, and his nephew the title of Baron Inchiquin. At one time, the kingdom of Thomond encompassed much of present-day County Clare and parts of counties Galway, Limerick and Tipperary.
Some of the specialised sources --
The 1641 Books of Survey and Distribution provide the results of a survey of land ownership in Ireland showing the settlement of Cromwellian supporters on confiscated land, and the resettlement of ‘innocent Papists’. It was used for the introduction of a land tax (the Quit Rent).
The Inchiquin Manuscripts are the family records of the O’Brien families of Leamanegh and Dromoland in County Clare. They span the period from the late 16th century to the early 20th century.
The Petworth House Archive contains the estate records of the Wyndham family, absentee English landlords with a connection by marriage to the O’Briens. Their Irish estate consisted mainly of land in Clare. In the 18th century the lineage was granted the title Earl of Egremont. A vast amount of estate records are held in the family’s private collection at the Egremont’s historic seat at Petworth House in West Sussex, England.
With many thanks to Phil Crowe for kindly sharing his detailed research on the history of the Crowes in West Clare.

- Fingal County with Swords as "county town";
- South Dublin with Tallaght as "county town".
