Lecale Lower (named after the former barony of Lecale) is a barony in County Down, Northern Ireland. [2] It lies to the east of the county with Strangford Lough to its north and the Irish Sea to its right. It is bordered by five other baronies: Lecale Upper to the south; Ards Upper to the north-east just across the mouth of Strangford Lough; Dufferin to the north; Castlereagh Upper to the north-west; and Kinelarty to the west. [2]
In medieval times the Ó Coltair (Coulter) sept is noted in the Lecale Lower area, of which the townland of Ballyculter gets its name. [3] [4]
The barony of Lecale Lower was created in 1851 when the barony of Lecale was split into two, the other part being Lecale Upper. [5]
