TULLAHOUGHT
"Tullahought",
a parish, in the barony of Kells, county of
Kilkenny, and province of Leinster, 5 miles (N.) from Carrick-on-Suir, on
the road to Kilkenny; containing 1538 inhabitants. This parish is situated
on the small river Lingam, which here separates the counties of Kilkenny and
Tipperary, and the provinces of Leinster and Munster. It comprises 4364
statute acres; the substratum consists chiefly of a slaty argillite. Near
Kilmacoliver is an extensive quarry of slate of superior quality, called
the Ormond Quarry, in which about 150 persons are generally employed; the
slates have an extensive sale in this and the adjoining counties, being
considered nearly equal to the Welsh slated in colour and lightenss; the
quantity annually raised is considerable, and the works have been extended
to a depth of 120 feet. Kilmacoliver is the residence of Danl. Osborne, Esq.
It is a rectory, in the diocese of Ossory, entirely impropriate in the
Marquess of Ormonde. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union
or district of Killamery; the chapel, a modern structure, is at
Kilmacoliver. About 100 children are educated in two private schools. At
Lamogue are some remains of an ancient church.
