166 Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. 



(2). The site of Sceach-ka-Ccibte, or Bush of the Court, was at the point of 

 meeting of the three townlands of Oldtown . belonging to Fitzgerald of Burnchurch), 

 Newlands (belonging to Comerford of Ballyraack), and Baiiulusk (belonging to the 

 abbot of Duiske). 



(3). Now the townland of Baunlusk. 



(4). A parish in the barony of Shillelogher, and consisting of the two town- 

 lands of Ballybur Lower and Ballybur Upper. 



(5). That is, M6ix-kiiada-i:han, the long, white bog. The name is now probably 

 obsolete. 



(6). Lios Bhruin, Brian > Fort. This name, now remembered only under its 

 Irish form, Lh-Bzhccann, is applied to a r2-acre field in Ballybur, between Bally- 

 bur castle and the Callan road ; but evidently Lios Bheiain was originally of larger 

 extent. 



(7). The Holy Cross was the Patron of the ancient chapel and parish of Grange. 



(8). The public road from Kilkenny to Callan. 



(9). The name is still preserved under the form Awch-chdllia, and gives name 

 to " Awch-ch6llia bridge" on the Callan road, at the meeting of the townlands of 

 Ballybur and Church Hill. On the Ordnance Map this bridge appears incorrectly 

 as " Aughcoultagh Bridge." 



(10). Now Black Slick Bridge, and, in Irish, Awcha-voddha-dhnv, i.e. the Ford 

 of the Black Stick. The old name, Aghtolloghan, or Ford of Tullaghany, is no 

 longer remembered. 



(11). The stream flowing under Black Stick Bridge. 



(12). Elsewhere written Kylvyan, i.e. Coill-mhadhain, Middle Kyle or Wood. 

 This wood was in either Church Hill or Grange, about where both townlands meet 

 the townland of Grove. 



(18). CLrAiN-i>AMii-NA-si4NACB, Or the Ox-Plain of the Monks, also mentioned as 

 ClondufiTe-na-maiinagh and Clundaf, is identical more or less with the ton^iland of 

 Grange. 



(14). Now apparently the townland of Rossdama, which here bounds Tober- 

 breedia, formerly part ol the townland of Ballycallan. 



(15). That is, Ciil-cuciu. (pronounced Cool-clujlc), the Hazel Angle. The 

 point of the angle of Cf-iL-cHtriLi. juts out into Ballycallan townland, about thirty 

 perches to the north of the townland of Toberbreedia. 



(16). Namely, Ballycallan. the property of the Earl of March (or, more 

 correctly it would appear, of his relatives the Despencers), Balleven, as part of 

 Ballyfrunk. the property of Fjrrestall of Kilferagh, and Rossdama, belonging to 

 the .\bbol of Dui^-ke. Ax. present Balleven does not quite join Rossdama, being 

 separated from it for a distance of about fifty i>erches of a moor by the townland of 

 Ballycallan ; but it is not unlikely that, in the course of several centuries, there 

 was some slight change of boundaries here. 



(17). That is, the stream running through Ballyfrunk and Balleven, and then 

 dividing llie townland of Damma, in the parish of Ballycallan, from Rossdama. 



(18). Coill-as-Fhaltaigh (pronounced Kijle-an Auitha, the wood of Vale, 

 Wale, or Wall, the ancient lord of Castleinch or Inchiologhan. This wood, in part 

 at least, is identical with the present townland of Woodlands, in Irish, Baii.e-na- 

 coiLLK, ui the parish of Castleinch, and stretching along the north-east border of 

 the townland of Grange.
