Power — Plucc-Names and Antiquities of 8.J3. Cork. 201 



Gortygoosty (Inq. Iae. 1). 



Goktnamucky, Gort na Muice— " Tillage-field of the Pig." The qualifying 

 term, in the singular, suggests that the eponymous pig was a legendary 

 creature— akin, for instance, to the boar which killed Diarmuid O'Duibhne. 

 Area, 239 a. 



S.D. Pairc Liath— " Grey Field." 



Kilcuefin Glebe. See under Annegrove, antea. Area, 10 a. 



Killacloyne. See under Caherlag parish, antea. Area, 184 a. 



S.DD. " The Lag Field." Lag = a hollow. The Lag in question is a 

 slogaire, or limestone swallow-hole, of great depth. 



Poll Con — " Dog's Cavern " ; this is the swallow-hole in Lag Field." 

 Mouth of the opening — about a perch square — is surrounded by a thicket of 

 blackthorn, but is otherwise unprotected. 



" Brown Island." One of the many small islands in Cork Harbour. Its 

 Irish name, if it had any, is lost. Here is a large stone which Fionn 

 Mac Cunihal flung hither from some neighbouring parish. In the adjoining 

 parish of Mogeesha is a second " Brown Island," part of the townland of 

 Ballintubrid. 



Labaun, Laban — " Puddle." Area, 13 a. 



This is a single large field adjoining Kilcurfin graveyard on the north side. 

 Its name, in all probability, perpetuates memory of the marshy place from 

 which the ancient church was called. 



Labane (D.S.B.). 



Lackenbehy, Leaca na Beithe — " Glen Slope of the Birch-wood." Area, 

 306 a. 



Lackenbegghy (D.S.B.). 



The O.M. records two lioses on the townland. One of these is, or was, on 

 summit of the round, or oval, hill known as "Ceall Ghuaire." It has dis- 

 appeared, leaving only traces and its name, " An Lios," behind. The other, 

 on the farm of Michael Barry, is well preserved and of medium size (about 

 three-quarter acre in area), with its circular fence S feet or 9 feet high and practi- 

 cally perfect. There was beside— on Michael Barry's farm — an immense folacht 

 fiaidh in a low-lying field beside a stream on west side of townland. 

 Hundreds of loads of broken and burned stones and black earth were 

 extracted from the mound. On Buckley's farm was another cooking mound 

 of similar character, but apparently of less imposing dimensions. 



S.DD. Ceall Ghuaire — " Guaire's Church." The name is applied primarily 

 to a striking round, or oval, bill, which still bears traces of the birch-growth
