The bay lies at the mouth of Lough Swilly, between the cliffs of Dunaff Head to the north and Leenan Head to the south. The site contained a large number of early <a href="/wiki/Irish_Mesolithic" title="Irish Mesolithic">Irish Mesolithic</a> artifacts, including unabraded <a href="/wiki/Flint" title="Flint">flints</a> comprising a few leaf-shaped flakes, some blade-like flakes and a large amount of waste material.

Colonel Daniel McNeill, a Scottish Planter who had fought at the Battle of the Boyne and defended Londonderry, resided in Binion. He commanded a group of Herdsmen, known locally as "The Yowmen," who instilled fear in the local community. It is said that any woman he desired would be forcibly taken to Binion, where she was allegedly subjected to rape. In cases where his victims became pregnant, he granted them small portions of land to support their children, known as "McNeills Roods." These parcels of land can still be found scattered throughout Urris and along the road to Clonmany. At the Pollen fair, McNeill tried to abduct a young local woman but failed when she managed to escape into the crowd. Later that evening, as he returned from the fair, he was ambushed and killed by a group of local men.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>McNeill was buried in the graveyard of Straid Church. In the mid-19th century, it was still possible to identify his grave, where it was recorded that he died on 11 September 1709, aged 59.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wolfe_Tone">Wolfe Tone</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Urris&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Wolfe Tone"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Wolfe_Tone" title="Wolfe Tone">Theobald Wolfe Tone</a>, leader of the 1798 Irish Rebellion, was captured by the Royal Navy off Dunaff Head, Lough Swilly in November 1798.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Poitín_Republic_of_Urris"><span id="The_Poit.C3.ADn_Republic_of_Urris"></span>The Poitín Republic of Urris</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Urris&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: The Poitín Republic of Urris"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the early 19th century, Urris became a center of the illegal <a href="/wiki/Poit%C3%ADn" title="Poitín">poitín</a> distillation industry, and continued to be one of the main economic activities of the area throughout the century. Due to its remote and barren geography, the Urris Hills were an ideal place for poitín-making because the area was surrounded by mountains and only accessible through the Mamore Gap over the Urris Hills and Crossconnell to the East. Derry provided a major market for the trade. In an effort to curtail illegal production, the authorities decided to levy "township fines" - a collective fine that was placed on an entire community if there was a suspicion that some of its residents were engaged in poitín production.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1812, the distillers in Urris, Donegal, took measures to protect their profitable illicit distillation operations. They established a system of scouts who would alert them of the approaching government officials.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When officials were spotted, the locals would position themselves above the road on both sides of Mamore Gap and throw rocks to obstruct their passage.

Unfortunately, there are no reliable records detailing the governance of the area during that time. </p><p>Once the authorities had restored revenue collections in the area, the local population were again subjected to frequent raids from the Revenue Police and township fines. These raids were often accompanied by public disturbances. In 1818, the disruption caused by these raids led the local population to petition parliament for relief from the frequent levying of harsh fines. The text of the petition highlighted many of the concerns of the local population: </p> <blockquote><p>That the petitioners are compelled to endure the most vexatious and oppressive exactions under the name of fines for illicit distillation, imposed upon the aforesaid Parish and townlands contained therein; that many persons who are guiltless or incapable of illicit distillation, have been forced to pay large portions of such fines, and that all proofs of individual innocence are rejected as reasons for exemption from payment of them; that the severity of diverse persons professing to bear excise commissions has been so great that alarming disturbances have broken out in their neighborhood and that the ordinary execution of the laws has failed in restoring tranquility.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Poitin continued to play an important role in the local economy in the pre-famine period. In 1843, the Revenue Police conducted a major raid on an active poitin still owned by Bryan Harkin of Lenan. Harkin, along with four other men, were arrested. Upon hearing of the arrests, a large number of local inhabitants gathered to prevent the arrests. Eventually, Harkin persuaded the crowd to disperse and agreed to accompany the police to Buncrana. Harkin's protection of the police later formed the basis for an appeal after he was convicted of illegal poitin production.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Land_reform">Land reform</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Urris&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Land reform"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The ownership of land was very contentious issue throughout the 19th century.
