Sir Walter Raleigh acquired extensive estates in east Cork and west Waterford, and he was the first person to develop its potential iron industry. Sir Richard Boyle, later the first Earl of Cork, acquired the Raleigh estates in Ireland in 1604, and continued to develop the iron industry. In 1625 Boyle paid £200 for the completion of two new iron-furnaces in Mocollop. Their location is unknown. (Power 1977; 1978, 31)
