History
The name Tollymore is gotten from "vast slope or hill", alluding to the two slopes, around 250 m high, which are situated inside the woodland limit. Their official names have been recorded as Slieve Neir (perhaps from Sliabh an Aoire, signifying "the pile of the shepherd") and Slieve Snaran (from either snarvan, intending to crawl, or snarban, which means a waterfall), in any case they are all the more regularly known as The Drinns and Curraghard, signifying "edge" and "damp upland" individually.
After the Norman attack of Ulster in 1177 and the production of the Earldom of Ulster, the Magennis family picked up power in the region. The developed Magennise families controlled the vast majority of the land in the south of region Down by the fifteenth century, including the zone where Tollymore is found. On 22 February 1611, Tollymore (authoritatively alluded to as Ballytollymore) was incorporated into seven and a half townlands which were surrendered to the English crown as an end-result of a formal freehold for the sake of Brian McHugh McAghorley Magennis. The land was passed to his grandson in 1628 and when he kicked the bucket without issue in the 1660s, it was passed to Brian Magennis' exclusive girl Ellen, who was hitched to William Hamilton of Ayrshire.
