Tirawley
The Barony of Tyrawley is situated in the north east portion of County Mayo. It is the area which is coloured bright green on the map to the top right. The title Baron Tyrawley was created twice, in 1706 and 1797.
The 19th century writer Caesar Otway wrote 'Sketches of Erris and Tyrawley' a sometimes amusing and always interesting account of life in North Mayo just prior to the devastating Irish Famine of 1845 - 47.
Downpatrick Head and the Ceide Fields are located on the north coast of the Barony. The historical town of Killala is on its east coast where it looks across the bay at Enniscrone, Co. Sligo.
