Ibane and Barryroe (Irish: Uí Bhána agus Barraigh Rua; archaic spellings Ibaune, Ibawn, O'Bathumpna, Barriro, Barriroe) is a historical barony in southern 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administrative units.[3] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[4][5]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 etymology[edit]
_-_geograph.org.uk_-_3036669.jpg)
The Ó Floinn were the ancient chiefs of the territory of Uí Baghamna (Uí Badamna).[7] Parts of the region were part of the ancient land of Corcu Loígde.[8] Abbeymahon Abbey was also called the monastery of Uí Badamna.[9]
The Ó Cobhthaigh clan had seven castles on the coast and were lords of a region called Triocha Meona.[10] The Ó Cuileannáin family also had land in Ibane, while the O'Fehilly of Tuatha O Fitcheallaigh were rulers of west Barryroe and the Ardfield parish.[8]
Barryroe is named for the Barry Roe ("Red Barrys") sept of the Anglo-Norman De Barry family.[8] The name "Ibane and Barryroe" is misleading as it implies two separate regions, when it is actually a single area, before the Norman invasion "Ibane" and after that "Barryroe."[11]
The 1340 Book of Ballymote mentions that the Corco Laige Cuil are descended from Mac Niad, son of Lugdach; the descendants of his son Eocho became the Hui Badamna (Ibane).
It was a holdout of the Irish language; the 1871 census showed Ibane and Barryroe with 59% Irish speakers, the highest rate in County Cork.[12]
