Only those lands in church ownership at the time of the 1328 grant were part of the county of the cross; lands acquired by the church subsequently were not added to it, and lands ceded by the church remained part of it. This was most notable after the Dissolution of the monasteries instigated by Henry VIII. The Irish Manuscripts Commission's report on Down Survey of the 1650s states, 'To establish the identity "of the lands of Abbeys and houses of religion within the precincts of Cross Tipperary" would be a considerable undertaking'. A 1600 list of freeholders in Cross Tipperary included holders of land in the baronies of Middle Third, Clanwilliam, Slievardagh, and Eliogarty, and the town of Clonmel. A county jury of Cross Tipperary in 1606 had members from Fethard, Ballyclerahan, Lattin, and elsewhere. Heffernan's partial list of crossland locations names Tipperary town, Cahir, Emly, Holy Cross Abbey, Athassel, Inislounaght, Moorestown Kirk, Cregstown, and Mollough.
Lismalin (also known as "Lismolin") is a townland in the civil parish of the same name. The largest town in the parish is Mullinahone. Immediately to the north lies the civil parish of Ballingarry and immediately to the north of Ballingarry lies the civil parish of Buolick in which the townland of Clonamicklon is located. The largest town in the parish is Gortnahoe. The townland of Clonamicklon borders the civil parish of Kilcooly to the east. In the townland of Kilcoolyabbey lies Kilcooly Abbey, close to the border with County Kilkenny. Donagh Carbragh O'Brien, King of Thomond, founded the abbey for Cistercian monks about 1200. John Butler was buried in the abbey. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the English Reformation, the lands were granted to the Earl of Ormond. The lands of this family stretched some fifteen miles between Lismalin on the King’s River to Kilcooly. All four civil parishes lie in the barony of Slievardagh.
When you travel from Gortnahoe to Glengoole you expect to find Glengoole after Ballysloe, but the stranger finds that the sign for the next village reads ‘New Birmingham’. He also finds that the village is neither New nor Birmingham. There must be history here and there is. It takes you back to the beginning of the 19th century, when the local landlord, Vere Hunt, could see great potential for the development of coal mining. The plans were to build a city for coal mining in the Slievardagh Hills. In reality it never got to the stage of full development, so you can find the remains of a gaol which never held a prisoner and the extensive diary of Vere Hunt gives a vivid account of how Glengoole got the name New Birmingham, but failed to reach its full potential.
