Irish / Scotch in Townlands
A legacy of the Plantation - the rate of immigration into Ulster during the first 20 years of the Plantation increased gradually. Many native Irish still remained on the estates and in 1621 it was decided that 25 per cent of them the undertakers' estates could be set aside for Irish tenants, The existence of townlands, such as Shantavny Irish and Shantavny Scotch in the uplands near Ballygawley, and Scotchtown and Irishtown in the Owenkillew Valley near Gortin, testifies to this segregation.
