BALLYBUR
"Ballybur",
a parish, in the barony of Shillelogher, county of
Kilkenny, and province of Leinster, 4 miles (S. W.) from Kilkenny;
containing 237 inhabitants. It is situated on the road from Kilkenny to
Callan, and comprises 655 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act.
During the prelacy of David Hacket, who presided over the see of Ossory from
1460 to 1478, this place, which at that time had its own church, was annexed
to the cathedral of St. Canice, Kilkenny, at the instance of its patron,
R. Vole, Esq. It is a vicarage, in the diocese of Ossory, and forms part
of the union of St. Canice, which is served by the vicars choral of the
cathedral, to whom the rectory is appropriate. In the R. C. divisions it is
partly in the union or district of St. Canice, and partly in that of
Danesfort.
