OLDEN—On some Ancient Remains at Kilmaclenine. 121 
in the parish, it was evidently a place of importance in the sixth 
century, when Colman Mac Lenine built the cell from which it derives 
its name—cill mac Lenine, ‘the Church mac Lenine.” There 
are many memorials of St. Colman in the neighbourhood, amongst 
which may be mentioned Spenser’s Castle of Kilcolman, but this 
is the only instance where he is spoken of only by his family 
name. In a Paper on St. Colman’s history, which I lately published, 
I have shown from the Book of Munster that the name of Colman 
was given to him in middle age, when he was baptized by St. Brendan; 
and on that occasion the King of Cashel, to whom he had been the 
official bard, compensated him for the loss of his fees by relieving him 
of the tribute or rent he had previously paid; and it is just possible 
that these lands, known as those of ‘‘ Mac Lenine,”’ may have been the 
lands assigned to him as bard, and by him made over to the Church on 
his conversion to Christianity. 
However this may be, when the Roll takes up the history of Kil- 
maclenine, early in the thirteenth century, it was called by its present 
name, and formed one of the estates of the See of Cloyne. 
The Roll deals with the Manor and Burgage of Kilmaclenine: 
taking the Manor first, we have an enumeration of the ‘‘ nomina qua- 
rentenarum de terra arabili capta ad manerium.’’* Here are pre- 
served the names of many places in the parish which are now entirely 
forgotten ; some are Irish, some English, and some a compound of 
both. There are ‘‘le Carryg,” of which I shall speak presently, and 
““ Curragh,” ‘‘the marshy place,’”’ and the old orchyerd, and Gorterouf, 
which appears to mean the ‘‘ rough field,’ and le Cnok, ‘the hill.” 
Another was known as Gylrathdousfeld of Heblakerath, the latter 
name seeming to be parcly a translation of the former. Another was 
termed Fern Macbaghly, or ‘‘ Macbaghly’s farm,” another Rathgybbe, 
which may be Roat-570b, ‘the Rath of the School.” One acre 
abutted on Muhelway, evidently the “ Pig-stye road” (mucforl). 
Another acre and a-half was near Cnokrath ‘‘the hill of the fort,” 
Lakyneroyhey, the ‘‘hill-side of the cross,” Stron Cnokrey, the ‘‘ point 
of the grey hill,” and Mora (the bog) de kylyn de kylmarauch; and 
we have in English /e langelond, and le hylle, and le Blukedyche, and 
“* Louhansalauch quod dicitur Hores-loch,” or ‘‘ the horse-pond.”” The 
two Gortyngebauchs, possibly soiitin sibesé, the “ pretty garden,” 
and Lessenchynauch, and lastly, Cnokan Glassenet, of which I have 
already made mention. 
There seem to have been 267 acres in the Manor, which were 
divided into 26 lots, giving an average of ten acres each. Turning 
now to the Burgage, we learn that Bishop David McKelly (1228-1237) 
“measured and perambulated certain lands which he bestowed on his 
beloved sons, the burgesses of Kylmaclenyn.” This was the Burga- 
gium occupied by a colony of English settlers who were governed by
