Kilmallock (Irish: Cill Mocheallóg), also known as the Liberties of Kilmallock,[1] is a historical barony in southern County Limerick, Ireland.[2][3]
Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units.[4] They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[5][6]
History
Kilmallock was owned by the Desmond Geraldines (FitzGeralds). .[7] Land in the Liberties of Kilmallock was granted to Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin in 1667.[8] It was originally part of Coshlea before being cut out some time around 1672, although sometimes it was treated as part of Coshlea, as in the 1821 census.[9]
Geography
Kilmallock is in the south of the county, between the baronies of Coshma and Coshlea. It is a small area of about 4,000 acres (16 km2), making up just one civil parish, that of St Peter and St Paul.[10]
