origin of the name. Perhaps it was a half-rendering of Pairc na mB6, 

 " Field of the Cows," or of P. na raBoth— " Field of the Tents." 



Inchinanagh, Inse na nEach. — " The Horses' River Holm." Area, 230 \. 



S.DD. Barr a Bhothair — " Top of the ltoad " ; applied here to a cross- 

 roads. 



Cluain — " Meadow " ; a field. 



" The Blacks " ; applied to a group of small fields in allusion to the colour 

 of their peaty soil. 



" The Long Streak " and " The Short Streak " = two fields. Streak here 

 is really the Irish, Stniic, a portion of anything involving length. 



Poll a Chorcain — " The Pot Hole" ; in the river. 



Killeagh, Coill Liath— " Grey Wood." Area 631a. " Torna " states 

 that the name is Cill Liath — " Grey Church." I helieve the townland is now 

 uninhabited, though it was not so at the date of the Ordnance Survey, when 

 it produced thirty barrels of potatoes and six of oats to the acre. Killeagh 

 is a very long and narrow townland. 



S.DD. Boigthin Ruadh — " Little Soft Red Bog"; a bog or sub-division 

 of considerable area, near the mountain summit, which produced an excellent 

 brown turf. 



Feith na Bearna — " Vein of the Gap." Feith has been already explained 

 as the designation of a green, grassy line in a mountain bog indicating the 

 course of a spring. 



Killuntin, Cill Fhionntain — " Fintan's Church." Area, in two divisions, 

 914 a. Site of the ancient Celtic Church which gave its name to the town- 

 land is now occupied by Killuntin House. A man who saw the old graveyard 

 sixty or seventy years since describes it as surrounded, more Hibcrnico, by an 

 earthen fence of the usual circular type. No remains now survive. 



S.DD. Moin na Snathaire — Meaning unknown ; perhaps M. a Snainh- 

 aire. It is the name of a sub-div. and the site of a former village. 



Pairc na gCaorach — " Sheep Field." 



" The Black." (See under Inchinanagh, antea)'. 



Knockaunlour, Cnocan na Lobhar — "The Lepers' Little Hill." Lepers 

 may have lived there, or the lands may have been part of the endowment of 

 an hospital for lepers. Knockaunacarren seems to have been an older name ; 

 at any rate it was the name given to the Ordnance Surveyors by R. G. 

 Champion, Esq. Area 545 A. 



S.DD. Comerboy Bridge (O.M.) on south-east boundary. Cumar Buidhe 

 — " Yellow River Confluence." 



The Cnocans (Cnocain — "Little Hills "); the fields surrounding a natural 

 Dun, or gravel mound, on Ford's farm.
