Place & story
Ninety acres of planting
Samuel Lewis identified Ballykeefe Hill within Tullaghanbrogue parish, which he also called Tullohanbroge or Grove. In his 1837 account, the hill belonged to the Earl of Desart, and ninety acres had recently been planted. Lewis treated the planted hill as a prominent landscape feature, but did not name the tree species or give a planting year. His entry also recorded ruins at Ballykeefe Castle and the old church of Kyleballykeefe, without assigning construction dates. [2]
