Clonmacnowen (Irish: Clann Mhac nEoghain; also Clonmacnoon) is a historical barony in eastern County Galway, Ireland.[1][2][3]
Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[4][5]
History
[edit | edit source]The name derived from Irish Clann Mac nEoghain, "clan of the son's of Eoghan,"[6] referring to a son of Domnall Mór Ua Cellaigh, a king of Uí Maine who died in 1221.[7]
The O'Muldoons (Ó Maoldúin) of Aughrim[8] were ancient rulers of the area as chiefs of Eoghanacht Ani (Eóganachta of Aidhne).[9][10]
By 1585 Seán na Maighe Ó Cellaigh was the owner of the area.[11]
Clonmacnowen barony was created before 1672. It appears in the Down Survey (1665–66) as Clanemtoneen.[12]
Geography
[edit | edit source]Clonmacnowen is in the east of the county, where the River Suck forms the border with County Roscommon.[13]
