SCARTAGLIN, a village, in the parish of CASTLE-ISLAND,
barony of TRUGHENACKMY, county of KERRY,
and province of MUNSTER, 4¾ miles from Castle Island,
containing 313 inhabitants. It is situated on the new
line of road recently constructed by Government, extending
from Castle Island through King-William's-
Town to Roskeen bridge, in the county of Cork. It
crosses the Brown Flesk river near the village over a
neat stone bridge; and it is in contemplation to open a
road connecting this line with one lately formed by
Col. Drummond and C. Fairfield, Esq., through the adjoining
parish of Ballincuslane, as far as the village of
Ardnagrath. Here is a R. C. chapel belonging to
the district of Castle Island, in which a school
is held under the patronage of the R. C. clergyman.
