CANTWELL
The name Cantwell is among many of
those names that were introduced

invasion of the twelfth century. The

de Cantual which means 'of Kentwell'.
These families became completely
integrated into Gaelic society and
were most associated with the
County Kilkenny area.
A Sept is an ancient Clan-like collective describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory.
