An earlier affray on the Estate:
The Normans had a toe hold in the area around Bantry (Donemark), and up the Durrus River to Letterlickey/Aughaville/Colomane an up the Illen River to Caheragh. Some of the local names Burke, Goggin,Barrett are Norman.
In the records of the Cathedral of St. Finbarrs in Cork there are ledgers going back to the 1780s acknowledging tithes which belonged to the Cathedral. Included apart from areas around Bantry, KIlcrohane, Ballydehob and Schull is Letterlickey. This may have come to the Cathedral via the Waterford Abbeys founded by the Normans. Also on the boundary is the ancient church of Moulivard once the main population cluster prior to 1600.
In a Carbery Estate Map of the 1788 of Ballycomane, Durrus these townlands are shown as owned by Hutchinson:
