Pairc na Stagiin. My informant could not explain the meaning of Stagiin 

 in the context. The dictionaries variously render the word — potato-cake, a 

 jibbing horse, and a frost-bitten potato. I must, I fear, leave the reader to

Ballyneuoon, Baile na lluamhan ; meaning unknown. O'Donovan 1

 reason given, I have interpreted "Irwin's Homestead." 2 Area, 174 a.

KlLCOOLlSHAL .its. Fai i < > i : v llii.i., ( 'ill Cuiliseal— -"Church of the Lower 

 Ridge (Low-cornered Church)." I regard Ciillseal as an adjective. It may, 

 however, be, as Mi. I bs, that Cool, the Becond member of the 



name, Connla (i id that the compound, Kilcool (Connla's church), is 



here qualified by the adjective iseal, lower. The name-giving church was
