"Mr. Arthur Hyde was in England when the Rebellion of 1598 took place, but his wife and children were at his castle of Carrignedy, or Castle Hyde.
On the day that Owen MacRory and the rest entered Munster, the country people rose "instantly before noon" and began plundering all round. Hyde's own cale and these of his English tenants were taken at once, but his wife and children escaped to Cork with Lorld Barry's help, and his 18 men held the castle for six weeks.
Hyde landed at Youghal, but could do nothing, and his garrison seeing that there was no chance of relief, yielded on promise of life and wearing apparel. They were stripped naked, but not killed, by Lord Roche's tenants before they had gone a mile. The Sugane Earl of Desmond, who was present in per- son with an overwhelming force, appointed Piers Lacy, Seneschal of Imo- killy, and the castle was surrendered to an Irishman who claimed it. " Forty persons depending on Hyde were left destitute.
He sought to form a company : 64 muskets and other arms, with much ammunition, had been provided, and it is probable that things would have gone differ- ently had Hyde been himself at home., (Bagwell iii., 306).
Mr. Graan Flood gives 17th October, 1598, as the date Carrignedy Castle was captured.
Some of the lands mentioned in above-mentioned grants appear to have been the property of David, Viscount Fermoy, especially Cregg, for King James I. granted to David Lord Roche, Viscount Fermoy, all his property on his surrendering the same. Amongst the lands, we find : " Cregg 4! plowlands, viz., the Castle and town of Cregg, i | plowland, Cregg Olimpry 1 plowland, Cnock Innannig J plowland, Templenoa \ plowland, Skartleet- tinegh \ plowland, & Clowagh J plowland with the advowsons, etc., of the parish church of Cregg, called Teample Ioganne," etc. (16 Deer., 9 James I., 1611).
In 1659, the Townland of Carrignedy (Castle Hyde) was occupied by Tituladoes—Arthur Hide, Esq., and Ellen Hide; 4 English and 62 Irish. (Pey).
The Subsidy Rolls, A.D., 1665, gives: "Hide, of Carrigmedy, value in goods, £12 7s. 6d." (P. R. O. Irld.) Richard Conron writing to Robert Southwell from Burton (near Bue- vant) 19th June, 1669, states :—" Cahere, the mason, is not in this country ; he has taken a great task about some iron works that is seing up about Carrignedy, and has taken the workmen of these parts with him.' (Egmont MSS., ii., 20).
Smith (pub. 1750), writes:—"To the West of Fermoy is Castle Hyde, a good old house with large improvements, of Arthur Hyde, Esq., whose ancestor, Sir Arthur Hyde, was made a knight banneret, by Queen Elizabeth, for his gallant behaviour and raising a regiment in England, at the CASTLE HYDE (CARRIGNEDY). 9 1 time of the Invasion by the Invincible Armada;
Her Majesty afterwards granted him nearly 6,000 acres of land in this country, which came to the crown by the aainder of Gerald Earl of Desmond. He married the daughter of Poer, baron of Curraghmore.
This place was formerly named Carrignedy, i.e., 'the rock of the shielder grounds and sides of the Blackwater are here finely planted with numerous groves of spruce, Scotch fir, and other timber trees, which, from the opposite side of that river, Massachusetts ke a fine appearance. The offices are new and well disposed, and to the south -of the house is a large deerpark.
Near Castle Hyde stands the parish church, in good repair, and adorned with a clock. The lands in this neighbour hood are covered with excellent limestone, the soil being naturally a stiff clay. In this country considerable quantities of lime are burned; and, it is observable, that if the upper stratum be used, it swells so greatly upon burning, that it frequently bursts the kiln. There is also a dark kind of limestone in some places, which being flinty, cracks and flies in the fire, but is, nevertheless, burned by an intense heat; furze kilns are generally used in this part of the country."
