History[edit]
Throughout 1610 (pre-plantation) to 1856, the land ownership of Cabragh has switched multiple times. In 1610, Cabragh was under the control of Clonennis (MacDonnell), while post-plantation Neal O'Neale was the servitor. William Groves held the land of Cabragh in 1641 until 1856 when Cabragh was no longer owned by any land holders.[5]
