five arches erected, like its sister bridges of Doneen and Clash, by public 

 subscription, in 1832. 



" The Stone Field " ; so called from the pillar-stone above mentioned which 

 stands on Barry's farm. The monument — of slate — is roughly lozenge in 

 horizontal section, and measures some C feet 8 inches in height by about 

 8 feet in girth. It has no name, and was flung to this place from 

 Ballynakilla by a giant. 



Paircin a Ohurraig — " Little Field of the Swamp " ; there is no swamp 

 now, and but for its survival in the name we should not even suspect that it 

 had ever existed. 



Leamlaka, Leim Larach — " The Mare's Leap." There is an implied 

 reference to some legend, unfortunately lost. The country people now know 

 nothing of the Leap or the Mare. Area, in two parts, 556 A. 



The second member of the name is variously written— lara, lary, larie, 

 larye, and laragh in ancient documents. There was one lios of moderate 

 size, now levelled, and there are, near Leamlara House, some remains of 

 an early castle (with vallum) of the Barrys. 1 During tillage operations 

 Mr. Barry's ploughman recently unearthed a very beautiful Hint-axe which 

 is now in Mr. B.'s possession. 



S.DD. Coolgarah (0. M.), Ciiil Ui Gearrtha— " O'Gara's Corner." This is 

 a well-known sub-div., regarded locally as an independent townland. 



Ath na Gainmhe — " Ford of the Sand " ; now a bridge at the north-east 

 angle of the townland. 



" The Piper's Wood." 



Paircin an Asail — " Little Field of the Ass " ; a sub-div. of some seven 

 acres. It is remarkable, by the way, how very seldom the useful donkey 

 gives name to any local feature. 



Pairc na Sceiche — " Whitethorn Bush Field.'' 



Moanbaun, Moin Bhan — " White Bog." As a townland designation 

 the name is modern ; formerly the place was accounted a division of 

 Ballyiiagloch. Area, 400 a. 



S.DD. Gleann Meadhonach — " Middle Glen "; a sub-div. of 100 a. 



Cnocan na Fionnoige — " Little Hill of the Skaldcrow." 



Moin a Tuairin— " Bog of the Little Cattle-Night-Field." 



Pairc Dubh— " Black Field." 



Pairc na mBollana — " Field of the Large Hound Stones." 



Cuil-Mhoin — " Botr Corner." 



Moin Bhan — "White Bog"; a field from which the townland gets its name.
