'THE PLANTATION OF DONEGAL - A SURVEY Raphoe is reported on in two separate sections; the precinct of Lifford precedes and the precinct ·Of Portlough follows the barony of Kilmacrenan. This may be the order in which the C.>mmissioners visited the districts. In preparing thi-.s survey for publica"tL n, I ha·ve omitted repetition of stereotyped phraseology and have placed approximate modern equivalents to seventeenth century placenames in brackets-these are intended for geneTal guidance only. In addition, a number of mino.r alterations have been made to the original punctuation and word order, in the interest \ of clarity. The sur·vey will be published in two sections: the first will go as far as t.he precinct of Liffer; the second will include the barony of Kilmacrenan and the precinct of Portlough (i.e. the northernmost part of the barony of Rap.hoe).
