In 1868, the parish of Lynally contained the following places:
"LYNALLY, a parish in the barony of Ballycowan, King's County, province of Leinster, Ireland, 2 miles S.W. of Tullamore, its post town. It is 3½ miles long by 2½ broad. The surface is flat and boggy. The road from Tullamore to Birr and Roscrea crosses the parish, and the Grand canal traces part of the northern boundary. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Meath, forming part of the benefice of Fircal, the value of which is £2,001. The church was built in 1831 by aid of a loan from the late Board of First Fruits. The Roman Catholic chapel is united to those of Killing and Kilpatrick. There are two day-schools."
"CHARLEVILLE CASTLE, (or Charleville Forest), the seat of the Earl of Charleville, in the barony of Ballycowan, in King's County, province of Leinster, Ireland. It lies on the banks of the little river Cloddagh, near Tullamore. The spot, though possessing no natural attractions beyond a fine growth of trees, has been very tastefully laid out."
