COUNTY CARLOW
Please NOTE! Additional materials for this county will be found in the
Irish Resources page, which has documents and publications
covering all of Ireland.
County Carlow was in Ptolemy's time
referred to as Brigantes and Cauci, or
according to Whitaker, Coriundi. In more
recent, but still ancient times, it formed the
Northern part of Hy Kinselagh, and was
divided into two parts, Hy Cabanagh (or Hy
Cavanagh) and Hy Drone. Some say the
county takes its name from the town of the
same name, Caher-lough in Irish, and means
"Town of the Lake," but his seems
improbably since there is no lake at Carlow
Town. More probably, it was originally
called in Irish Cether-loch meaning "Four
Lakes," from the fact that the Barrow river
in those days widened into lakes at four
places there. The Kinsella clan was
dominent in the north, with Kavanagh and
O'Ryan in the south, and lesser clans or
septs including Tallon, O'Nolan, O'Hayden,
O'Neill, and O'Fortin.
