Cromwell's one mile strip
Would anyone know which areas of Clare were included in Cromwell's one mile strip?
Re: Cromwell's one mile strip
There is information on this in John Prendergast's book "The Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland of Ireland" at pages 101 and 149. That might be a good place to look.

Many thanks Polycarp and Sadhbh
Local collective memory was of a Cromwellian settlement of the area.
This would be compatible with the establishment of the one mile strip as a security zone.
In the twentieth century the term cordon sanitaire came to be applied to such territorial arrangements.

A correction:
My reference to local collective memory in my reply was in respect of Meelick.
Its high ground covered Limerick on the north side.
