Part of 1602 map of south Donegal
Part of 1602 map of south Donegal
A map of the southern coastal area of Tyrconnell (Donegal) including Teelin Head and Donegal Bay. This map was drawn up in 1602 for Lord Mountjoy, Earl of Devonshire, who owned large tracts of land in Ulster prior to the great plantation scheme of 1609. The map outlines the territories of the Donegal chieftains, O'Donnell, Mac Swine (Sweeney), and O'Boyle. The castles of these clans are indicated; these sites were to become important strongholds in the chieftains' struggles against the forfeiture of their lands.
