CLONBULLOGE, or PUREFOY'S-PLACE, a village,
in the parish of CLONSAST, barony of COOLESTOWN,
KING'S county, and province of LEINSTER, 5½
miles (S. by W.) from Edenderry: the population is
returned with the parish. This village is situated on
the small river Barrow, and is surrounded by the bog
of Allen; it consists only of a few small and indifferent
dwellings, the larger houses having been burned in the
disturbances of 1798, during which period it was the
only place in this part of the country that suffered from
actual violence. Fairs are held on July 11th and Oct.
29th; and a constabulary police force is stationed here.
The parish church, which was built about the year
1670, is situated in the village, and the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners have recently granted £243. 8. for its
repair. See CLONSAST.
