This is a list of the baronies of Ireland. Baronies were subdivisions of counties, mainly cadastral but with some administrative functions prior to the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898. ==Final list== The final catalogue of baronies numbered 331. A figure of 273 is also quoted, by combining those divided into half-baronies, as by East/West, North/South, or Upper/Middle/Lower divisions. Every point in Ireland is in precisely one of the listed divisions. However, the municipal area of the four cities with barony status in 1898 has extended since then into the surrounding baronies. Prior to 1898, the baronies around Dublin City were shrunk according as they ceded land to the expanding city; but there is now land which is both within the current city boundaries and within one of the pre-1898 county baronies. Notably, the Barony of Dublin, created in 1842, is entirely within the city, although still separate from the Barony of Dublin City. Creation date is sometimes specified as an upper bound (and possibly a lower bound) rather than the precise year: *"By 1598" indicates baronies in County Kerry listed on the map of the Desmond or Clancarthy Survey of 1598.〔 (including (Map of Kerry and Desmond ) from Carew Manuscript 625 folio 20 recto)〕 *"By 1603" indicates baronies in County Fermanagh recorded by the commission which met on Devenish Island in July 1603. *"By 1609" indicates baronies included in maps of the escheated counties of Ulster (made in 1609, reprinted by the Ordnance Survey in 1861). *"By 1672" indicates baronies depicted in ''Hiberniae Delineatio'', "Perry's Atlas", engraved in 1671-2 by William Petty from the data of the Down Survey. This delimited all, and described most, of the baronies then extant.〔Ó Domhnaill 1943〕 Many of these baronies had existed since the late 16th century. *"By 1792" indicates baronies listed in 1792 in ''Memoir of a map of Ireland'' by Daniel Beaufort. *"Divided by 1821" indicates where a single barony in ''Hiberniae Delineatio'' corresponds to two (half-)baronies in the 1821 census data. These divisions had been effected by varying statutory means in the intervening decades. Notes: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of baronies of Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
