KEADUE, a town (small), in the parish of KILRONAN,
barony of BOYLE, county of ROSCOMMON, and
province of CONNAUGHT, 8 miles (N.N.W.) from Carrickon-
Shannon, to which it has a penny post: the population
is included in the return for the parish. It has
partly arisen out of the Arigna Iron and Coal works,
and contains about 45 houses. A market-house has
been recently erected by Col. Tenison, its proprietor;
and there is a patent for a market and fairs, not now held.
It is a constabulary police station, and petty sessions are
held on alternate Wednesdays. Here is a R. C. chapel,
which was built by Col. Tenison. See KILRONAN.
