"CLOGHERBRIEN, a parish, in the barony of TRUGHENACKMY, county of KERRY, and province of MUNSTER 1½ miles (W.N.W.) from Tralee, containing 1330 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the road from Tralee to Spa, and near the bay of Tralee, and containing 3345 staute acres, as apploted under the tithe act. The land is generally good and mostly under tillage: the system of agriculture is gradually improving, and sea-weed is much used as manure. There is no bog, but turf is supplied from Castle-Gregory, on the south-west side of the bay. The church is in ruins, but the burial-ground by the road side is much used and containing several neat tombs. There is a hedge school of 25 children."
