Ballintober North

This area was the ancient kingdom of Baghna, ruled by the Ó Fiannaigh (Feeney) tribe.^[3] After them, the Hanleys (Ó hAinle) were the landlords of the area before losing their land in the mid-17th century.^[4]

Its northern extreme was the plain of Caradh (modern Carranadoe), referred to in the topographical poem Tuilleadh feasa ar Éirinn óigh (Giolla na Naomh Ó hUidhrín, d. 1420).^[5][6]

It was originally a single barony with Ballintober South; they were separated by 1841.

Wealthy landowning families in the 19th century were the Kings of Charlestown House, the Waldrons, and the Goffs.^[5][7]
