What is recorded here

Settlement deserted is a settlement deserted (medieval) in Knigh, County Tipperary, Ireland. A 1618 patent roll records the small thatched castle at Ballycolliton with its town and fields, renting the property to Daniel and William McEdmond Mc Teige. The land is now flat pasture with no visible earthwork, marking the complete fading of that community.
