TEL
(W. N. W.) from Kinsale, on the north side of the river
Bandon; containing 535 inhabitants. This parish, the
name of which signifies “the Englishman’s House,”
comprises 1320 statute acres, as applotted under the
tithe act; the soil is extremely light, and, under a good
system of cultivation and by the constant application of
large quantities of sea sand brought hither from the bay
of Kinsale and landed at the small quays in the parish
made for that purpose, produces good crops: the land
is deemed valuable in consequence of its proximity to
Kinsale and the facilities for procuring manure. The
principal seats are Teighsasson House, the residence of
J. Cummins, Esq.; Ballywilliam, of B. Barter, Esq.;
Hollyhill, of C. Newman, Esq.; Ballinvolig, of Mrs.
Collis; and Ballinacurra House, of J. Bleazby, Esq.

the patronage of the Crown: the tithes amount to £105.
In the R. C. divisions the parish is part of the union of
Kinsale. A small creek, which separates this parish
from that of Clontead, penetrates a considerable dis-
tance into the land: on its southern bank are the ruins
of the ancient church; and not far distant are those of
White castle, which was built by the Roches in 1497,
to command the landing-place, and gives name to the
creek and the small village adjoining.
