Golan is one of the farms on the property known as Mount Sedborough which in 1613 consisted of 1000 acres in the Barony of Clankelly between Ballagh and Derrynawilt (access today is from the B38 road). The land was granted in 1613 to John Sedborough of Porlock, Somerset, one of the "undertakers" in the settlement of Ulster. On John's death in 1629, Mount Sedborough came to his granddaughter Barbara, the wife of John Mayne. In October 1641, John Mayne was murdered on his land in front of his wife and children by local Irish under Rory MacGuire during the rebellion of that year http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2_ZstVBZSfIC&lpg=PA1&pg=PA108#v=onepage&q=&f=true . Since that time the Mayne family have retained Mount Sedborough which they still farm. Golan farmhouse, pictured here, was built by the Maynes in about 1800.
