Location


It is bordered by the baronies of Balrothery East to the west and Nethercross to the south; by the county of Meath to the north and west.[2]



History


The barony was created soon after the Norman invasion of Ireland by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath as his own feudal barony, held directly from himself in capite. His vassals were commonly called "De Lacy's Barons".[3] At the heart of the former barony was the civil parish of Balrothery. The barony was later split into the baronies of Balrothery West and Balrothery East. The village of Balrothery is now located in the neighbouring barony of Balrothery East.



Civil parishes


There are nine civil parishes in the barony: Naul, Westpalstown, Ballyboghil, Garristown, Ballymadun, Palmerstown, Hollywood, Clonmethan, Grallagh[4]. Large population centres include Garristown, Naul, Oldtown and Ballyboughil.[5]
