Civil Parishes |
Many thanks to Sean Ruad for this data from the IreAtlas Townland Database.
Please note: There are two separate parishes called Dysert. (aka Dysart, Disert, or Disart) The parish found more northly in Kerry, called here Dysert 1, is one whole section that lies in the two Baronies of Clanmaurice and Iraghticonnor. Dysert 2, a separate parish, found more central and easterly in Kerry, is in three parts, all of which are in the same Barony of Trughanacmy. Refer to the Civil Parish Map and the Barony Map to help clarify.
Read what "A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland" Samuel Lewis, 1837 has to say about the two parishes he called Dysart and Dysert.

It comprises 3608 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, including some excellent land. There is a considerable portion of bog, affording fuel of good quality; the state of agriculture is steadily improving. Ballingar is the seat of representatives of the late John Barnard, Esq. The parish is in th ediocese of Ardfert and Aghadoe; the rectory is impropriate in Anthony Stoughton, Esq. The tithes amount to 133.10.10 pounds, payable in moieties to the impropriator and the vicar; and at Ballingar is a glebe of 13 acres. In the R.
