Lorscin — " Little Burned Place " ; a field of 13 a. 



Cluain — - Meadow '" ; a field of 15 or 16 A. 



Bannashabo (perhaps Ban na Sean-Bho — " The Old Cow's Field "). 



Calehase. Coill Seaghain — " John's "Wood." O'Donovan makes it Caol 

 Sheaain (-John's Marsh " , but the word is not Caol, and there is no marsh — 

 the place is a ridge summit. Area, 135 a. 



The townland which is all included in one farm, was formerly known as 

 ' the Bock Farm."

Corbally. Corr a Bhaile — " Round Hill of the Homestead." See Corbally,

The same Baile na b'Abhann i.- also given, but this is merely a literal trans-

 within the adjoinn _ :leusque. 



D. "T: : two fields in which deer were formerly kept. Paal
