The Seven Baronies of County Carlow

All Anciently cited to be inhabited by the Brigantes and Cauci (by Ptolemy) or by the Coriundi (by Whitaker). It later formed the northern part of a territory called Hy Kinselagh, and was distinguished by the name Hy Cabanagh and Hy Drone. An early form of the county's name was Catherlagh. The principal sept's included Mac Murrough, Kavanagh, O'Doran, O'Nolan, MacKeogh and O'Ryan.

1. Carlow The Ui Bairrche are noted early in this barony. The O'Dolans(?) were hereditary brehons of Leinster and cited here.

2. Forth O Nuallain (O'Nolan) were Princes of Fotharta, the root name for the barony of Forth. They were of the sept of the Fotharta of Mag Fea

3. Idrone (East) -The Ui Bairrche and Ui Drona are cited early here. The O'Riain (Ryan) sept were Lords of Ui Drona. The O'Doyle clan of Viking origin was said to originate from a 9th century King of Idrone.

4. Idrone (West) O'Riain (Ryan), Lords of Ui Drona, are cited here. Following the Norman Invasion the Kavanaghs, descendants of the MacMurrough clan, held this territory then known as Hy Cabanagh or Ui Cavenagh.

5. Rathvilly -In the 5th century, Crimthan, King of Leinster, lived at Rathvilly. The territory was that of the Ui Felmelda Tuaid, a Ui Cheinnselaig sept descended from Feidlimidh son of Enna Ceansalagh and brother of Crimthan. The MacKeoghs here(?) were chief bards of the Kings of Leinster. An O'Neill family was cantered here.

6. St. Mullin's (Lower) -The ancient land of the Ui Drona was cantered here in the 8th century.

7. St. Mullin's (Upper) Very early this area was referred to as Fearann Uí Néill, or the country of Farren O'Neale, lords of Tully. This may refer to the O Neill sept of Magh dá chonn in Leinster
