CITY AND COUNTY OF LONDONDERRY.

(181.) City of Londonderry is compassed with a strong wall, excellently made and neatly wrought, of good lime and stone, circuit 2842/3 perches, 18 feet to perch, the 4 gates contain 84 feet, the wall is 24 foot high and 6 thick. Gates battlemented, but to two there is no going up, so they serve to no great use, there are no leaves for the gates, but 2 drawbridges serve for 2, and 2 portcullis for the other two. 9 bulwarks very large and good, and 2 half bulwarks; upon 4 can be placed 4 cannons or other pieces, the rest are not quite so large. The rampart within the city 12 foot thick of earth. All substantially done, saving a house for the soldiers, and a continual house to stand in in the night to defend them from the weather, which is most extreme in these parts. Since the last survey there is a school built 67 ft. length, and 25 in breadth, and 2 other small houses, no other building within the city. Number of houses within the city, 92, containing 102 families, far too few for defence of such a circuit, and scarce able to man one bulwark, neither is there room to set up 100 houses more unless they are made as small as the first, and each room named as a house.

(182.) Fort of Cullmoor.--This fort or blockhouse is now in the hands of Capt. John Baker, the walls are finished and the castle built, all strong and neatly wrought, with platforms for artillery, it is the only key and strength of the river that goes to the Derrie.

(183.) Colerane.--The town of Colerane is at the same stay as at the last survey, but 3 houses are added to the building, done by other men, the city allowing them 20l. apiece. The part unbuilt is so extremely dirty that no man is able to go into it, especially that which should be and is accounted the market place. Walls and ramparts built of sods, filled with earth, decay and moulder away, with ramparts so narrow they cannot stand, and bulwarks so exceeding small that any piece of artillery cannot be placed, if occasion should require it. Two small forts of timber and boards which serve for houses for soldiers. Town so poorly inhabited that there are not men to man the 6th part of the wall.

(184.) Goldesmiths' Hall.--John Freeman has 3,210 ac. A bawn of lime and stone 100 ft. sq., 16 high, 4 flankers. A large castle or stone house in building within, two stories high, and workmen at work to furnish it with all haste. Six houses of stone and 6 of timber, strong and well built, and seated in a convenient place for the King's service. Planted with British: Freeholders, 6, viz : 1 having 180 acres, 5 of 60 apiece.

Lessees for years, 24: 2 of 300 apiece, 2 of 120 apiece, 1 of 100, 10 of 60 apiece, 1 of 50, 4 of 40 apiece, 2 of 30 apiece, 1 of 46, 1 of 20.

In toto, 30 families, with undertenants, making 90 men armed who have taken the oath.

(185.) Grocers' Hall, otherwise Muffe, 3,210 ac.--Edw. Rone had this, but being dead, there is no one to oversee the building. Upon this is a bawn in building, 100 ft. sq., with 4 flankers, walls now 5 ft. high. By this are 4 good strong houses of lime and stone, and well slated, and 4 others further off. Other houses of lime and stone dispersed, built by tenants, who as yet have no estates, and likely to be removed. Some have spent upon building 100l., and this through the slackness of the company, which has made no estates to the undertakers. For most part inhabited with Irish.

(186.) Fishmongers' Hall, otherwise Ballikelle, 3,210 ac.--In the hands of James Higgens a merchant of London, whose agent is resident. A strong bawn of lime and stone, 125 ft. sq., 12 high, 4 flankers, a good house within, 50 ft. sq., finished and inhabited by agent with good store of arms. Near to castle, 15 houses, whereof 3 of stone and lime, rest of timber, rough cast and slated. In a convenient place for service. A church new built, 43 ft. long, 26 wide, neatly made, and a good preacher. Planted with British: Freeholders, 6: 5 of 160 ac. apiece, 1 of 120. Lessees for years, 28: 1 of 240, 2 of 180 apiece, 4 of 120 apiece, 8 of 60 apiece, 1 of 90, 6 of 20 apiece, 3 of 60 jointly, 3 of 30 apiece. In toto, 34 families, with undertenants, making 40 men with arms.

(187.) Ironmongers' Hall, 3,210 ac.--Geo. Cammynge, agent for the company, resident, has no order to make estates to any tenants who have come hither to dwell, notwithstanding divers have disbursed money and built good houses. These can get only articles of agreement for 31 years, and fear that this may be altered by others after. But they pay for every town land which they account to be but 60 ac., 5l.10s., or 5l. per annum. Uncertainty is a great hindrance of the plantation. The castle is strong, formerly begun, is now thoroughly finished. A bawn of brick and lime, but 3 sides done, without flankers, a place of no strength. 8 dwelling-houses of cagework, some slated and some finished, but standing so far asunder, that they can have but little succor one of the other. Here is an infinite number of Irish, who give such great rents that the English cannot get any land.

(188.) Mercers' Hall, 3,210 ac.--Not let to any man, but held by one Varnon, agent for the company. Castle formerly begun is now thoroughly finished, and is not inferior to any. A very large town, 120 ft. sq., 4 flankers, of good stone and lime. Near the bawn are 6 houses of cagework, some covered with shingle, others thatched, and inhabited by such poor men as they could find in the country, and these pay such dear rates for the land that they are forced to take Irish tenants to pay their rent. Divers other houses of slight building, but far off, and dispersed in woods, where the inhabitants are forced to relieve such wood kerne as go up and down the country. There are 46 town lands, let to Irish of the sect of Clandonells, the wickedest men in all the country.

(189.) Merchant Taylors' Hall, otherwise Macoskin, 3,210 ac.--Valentine Hartopp has newly come to dwell, having taken this for 61 years. Castle finished, battlemented and very strong, 50 foot long and 34 wide. No bawn begun as yet, but the gentleman is causing stone and lime to be laid in readiness, that they may go roundly away with it. Near the castle are 7 good houses of stone and lime, well slated and inhabited with English, in a well chosen place. A fair large church is nigh finished, 86 foot long and 32 broad, roof set up and ready to be slated. Planted with British:

Freeholders, 6.

6 having 60 acres apiece.

Lessees for years, 18.

1 of 120, 1 of 180, 3 of 120 apiece, 5 of 60 apiece, 2 of 60 jointly, 6 of 36 apiece.

Cottages, 5.

Each has a house and garden plot with 3 ac. of land. In toto, 30 families, making 40 men with good arms.

(190.) Haberdashers' Hall, otherwise Ballycastle. [No quantity stated.]

Sir Rob. McLennan has taken this of the company for 61 years. Here is a castle, thoroughly finished, very strong and well wrought, he with his lady and family dwell in it. No sign of any other kind of building, more than slight houses after the Irish manner, which are dispersed. Church still as at the first, and nothing done to it. There were nominated to me 6 freeholders, who were in Scotland, and these set down but for small quantities, and 21 leaseholders, but not one could show anything in writing for estates, nor landlords any counterpanes. I saw the land planted with British to the number of 80 men, and in the castle arms for them.

(191.) Clothworkers' Hall, 3,210 ac.--The said Sir Robert has taken this for 61 years. A castle of lime and stone 54 foot long, 34 wide, and 28 high, not yet covered, and no plantation with any British tenants. One freeholder, the parson of the parish. All inhabited with Irish.

(192.) Skinners' Hall, otherwise Dungevon, 3,210 ac.--The Lady Dodington, late wife to Sir Edw. Dodington, dec., is in possession, having a grant from the company for 61 years. Here is a strong castle, 2½ stories high, a large bawn of lime and stone, well fortified. In this she now dwells, with 24 in her family. There is also in another place called Crossalt, a strong castle of lime and stone, built by Sir Edward, 80 foot long and 34 broad, with two turrets to flank it. A bawn of lime and stone 100 ft. sq., 14 high, and 4 flankers. So that on this proportion are two bawns and two castles, with two villages of 12 houses apiece near each castle. A good church adjoining the castle, and a good teacher to instruct the people. Plenty of arms in these castles. Planted with British:

Freeholders, 7.

1 having 200 acres, 6 of 120 apiece.

Lessees for years, 8.

1 of 300, 4 of 160 apiece, 3 of 100 apiece. Cottagers, 11. Each has a house, a garden plot, with 2 or 3 acres of land. In toto, 26 families, all resident, making, with undertenants, 80 men.

(193.) Vintners' Hall, 3,210 ac.--In the hands of Baptist Jones. A bawn of brick and lime, 100 foot sq., with 2 round flankers and a good rampart, which is more than any of the rest have done; within the bawn 2 good houses, opposite each other; one 70 ft. long and 25 wide, the other nothing inferior. Near the bawn are 10 good houses of English cagework, very strong and covered with tiles, the street very large and to be commanded by the bawn. All inhabited with English, and himself, with wife and family, resident. Divers other good houses further off with English, full number of freeholders and leaseholders, but he being gone into England, and his tenants being at the assizes, I saw them not. Good store of arms in the house, and upon the land are 76 men.

(194.) Drapers' Hall, otherwise Moneymore, 3,210 ac.--Not let to any man, but held by the agent, Wm. Russell. A strong bawn of stone and lime 100 ft. sq., 15 high, with 2 flankers; a castle within the bawn, same width, battlemented, 2 flankers, and nearly finished, before the castle are 12 houses, 6 of lime and stone and 6 of timber, inhabited with English. This is the best work I have seen for building. A good watermill and malthouse; a quarter of a mile from the town there is a conduit, which brings water to all places in the bawn and town in pipes. The tenants have no estates, for the agent can make none; neither will they till such time as their land be improved to the uttermost. Within this castle good store of arms.

(195.) Salters' Hall, 3,210 ac.--Hugh Sayer is upon this, and has built in 2 several places. At Marifelt there is a bawn of 80 ft. sq. of lime and stone, with 2 flankers, and a castle now in building, 60 ft. long, and 20 wide, now 8 stories high and roof ready to be set up; walls of bawn not as yet above 10 ft. high. Near the bawn are 7 houses of slight cagework, 5 inhabited by poor men, the other 2 stand waste. At Salters Town there is a bawn of stone and lime, 70 ft. sq., 12 ft. high, with 2 flankers and a poor house within it of cagework, in which the former, with his wife and family, dwells. Here are also 9 houses of cagework by the bawn, inhabited by British, a sawing mill for timber, but the glass houses are gone to decay and utterly undone. None have estates.
