Rosclogher barony takes its name from the townland of Rosclogher (Irish: Ros Clochair, "stony wooded height"), which gives its name to Rosclogher Castle.[1]
Locationedit
Rosclogher is found in north County Leitrim, reaching from its 3 km (2 mi) of Atlantic coastline (the least coastline of any coastal county), past Lough Melvin, east of the Kilcoo River, up to Saddle Hill.
The O'Murroughs, or O'Murreys, were chiefs in the barony of Rosclogher. Their territory was the Hy Murragh. The Mac Murry or Mac Morrow were chiefs in Loghmoyltagh. The MacClancy's were chiefs of Dartraighe (Dartry) in the barony of Rosclogher. Uí Miadhachain (O'Meehan) is found here at the time of the Norman invasion of Ireland.[2]
