Barony in Offaly, Ireland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lower Philipstown (Irish: An Daingean Íochtarach) is a barony in County Offaly (formerly King's County), Ireland.
The name Lower Philipstown is derived from Philipstown, the former name of Daingean.[1]
Lower Philipstown is located in northeast County Offaly and contains Croghan Hill and part of the Bog of Allen.
Lower Philipstown was roughly formed from the ancient tuaths; Tuath Rátha Droma and Tuath Cruacháin of the Uí Failge (O'Connor Faly). Ó hAonghusa (O'Hennessy) alongside Ó hUallacháin (O'Houlihan) are cited here as chiefs of Clan Colgan, near Croghan Hill. [2] The original Philipstown barony was split into upper and lower by 1807.
