Iverk

File:Ireland - 1885 Map of County Kilkenny.jpg.]]

Iverk was part of the medieval Irish kingdom of Osraige. It was the territory of the Irish clan Uí Duach. In 1358 this Barony was known by its ancient name the "Cantred of Odoth". The earliest reference to the barony was in 1587, when it was described as the barony of "Fasaghdenyn and Idoghe".

The early Anglo-Norman records of "Overk in Ossory" included the present Barones of Iverk and Ida and the southern extremity of the barony of Knocktopher. The territory of Uibh-Eirc was co-extensive with the present Barony of Iverk.

Iverk was recorded in the Down Survey (1656), and on Griffith's Valuation (1864). Parts of the barony were in the Poor law unions of Carrick on Suir and Waterford.

Territory of O Faolain (O'Phelan) and O'Dunphy. Ballycastlane Cottage is located in Iverk.
