Map of land west of the River Shannon allocated to the native Irish after expulsion from their lands. Note that all islands were "cleared of Irish" and a belt one mile wide around the coastline was reserved for English settlers.

The Act for the Setling of Ireland imposed penalties including death and land confiscation against Irish civilians and combatants after the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and subsequent unrest. British historian John Morrill wrote that the Act and associated forced movements represented "perhaps the greatest exercise in ethnic cleansing in early modern Europe."[1]
