Kinnatalloon (Irish: Coill na Talún) is a historical barony in east County Cork, Ireland.[1][2]
Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units.[3] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[4][5]
History and legend
[edit]The current Irish name means "forest of the land," but this is a corruption. The original name is thought to have been Cenél Tolamnach ("Tolamhnach's kind"), a tribal name referring to Tolamhnach, a chief of the Uí Liatháin people who died at the Battle of Carn Conaill near Gort in AD 649.[6][7]
The ancient kingdom of Uí Liatháin consisted of Kinnatalloon and part of Barrymore barony. In the mid-18th century the common surnames in Kinnatalloon were Keeffe, Ahern, Carthy, Cotter, Daly, Fitzgerald, Geiry, Lyne, Quirk and Walsh.[8]
Geography
[edit]Kinnatalloon is in the east of the county, chiefly between the Tourig River and River Bride, bordering on County Waterford to its east.
