Glanarought (Irish: Gleann Ó Ruachta) is a historical barony in central County Kerry, Ireland.

Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.

History

The name Glanarought is from Irish Gleann Ó Ruachta, "valley of the O'Roughty ". This name is first recorded in Mac Carthaigh's Book (1262). The Irish word ruacht means "red-haired," so the tribal name means "Descendants of the Red-Haired One." The name later transferred to the Roughty river.

The Ó Gríobhtha (Griffin) were centered at Ballygriffin in the Gaelic Ireland period. The MacCarthys were centered in Glanarought in the mid-13th century. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the land belonged to the Marquesses of Lansdowne, who carried out much agricultural improvement.

Geography

Glanarought is in the far southeast, running up to the Caha Mountains and the border with County Cork. It contains the Roughty River and the northeast part of the Beara Peninsula.
