Bingham’s Map, c1580 Bingham was an Elizabethan soldier who spent most of his career fighting in Ireland. This map pre-dates the final collapse of FitzGerald Desmond, but hints at what the Elizabethans were thinking of.

Barony of Corckaguiney
This is a detail from the previous slide. It is noteworthy as it is the earliest known use of the Ferriter name as a placename on a map. On this map we see “feritor’s castle”, and “feritor’s Co.” The abbreviatin “Co.” appears nowhere else on this map. Based upon comparison with maps that follow this one, it may have meant “feritor’s country” but probably not “feritor’s cove”.

• Dunurlin means “Fort of the Blonde Warrior Woman” (Dun Urla)• The first “le Fureter” was enfieffed in the Dunurlin area c1250• Ferriter’s Town, Ferriters Haven, Ferriter’s Quarter, and Ferriter’s
Islands names were no doubt in use by the 1400s.• The widespread typonomy involving “Ferriter” in its several
variants demonstrates the “power” of the name:– Legal authority– Social importance– Military significance– Economic Impact
