Pairc na CI oiche— " Field of bhe Pillar Stone," on Fitzgerald's farm. The 

 stone appears to have been removed of recent years ; anyhow I failed to 

 find it. 



Paircin na Ceardehan — " Little Field of the Forge (Barry, the Toet's?)." 

 There is no forge now, and no memory of such an institution survives. 



Toll na Steille— "Hole of the Water-Splash." The name is at present 

 applied to a field — the most fertile probably in the townland. 



Toll na Madraidhi — " The Dogs' Drowning Hole " ; a pit more than half 

 full of water, which became a last home for condemned dogs. My informant 

 described it. to.., as " a greal place for eels.' At a more recent period the pit 

 was filled in with large stones and, later still, a house was erected upon the 

 site. 



Pairc Lea i Bheithe — "Bireh-w I Glen Slope." 



Gleann 'Olaidhe. Meaning unknown. .Mi. II. A. Foley suggests P. Amh- 

 laoidh. It is a subdivision, containing roughly some :;0 a. 



Poll an Naosca — " The Snipe's Pool"; another subdivision, somewhat 

 less extensive than tin- la 



Bo B ' Hen of the Fellow < low." 



Poll Cam — "Crooked Hollow," a field containing a sandpit. 



Parish • i 



nam.', written "Castl I i ne" in an Inquisition of Jas. I. is the 

 anglicized form of the Irish, Caisle Liathain "O'Lehanes' Castle), from 

 an ancient fortified residence, which would seem to have preceded the later 

 rrymores. More than three-fourths of this parish, which 

 _ both sides of the rivei Bride, lies within the present barony; 

 the remainder is in the barony of Condons. The district embraced is, for 

 ■i part, a rich limestone plain, with an elevated ridge of old Band- 

 southern fring i bout average importance 

 and number, and the antiquities are probably a little above the average 

 in interest. Among the latter are monastic and other church remains at 

 tlelyons, a rui tie in the same place, and another in Ballyrobert, 

 quite a large number of pillar- two or three holy wells, a chambered 

 earn, and early church sites at Ballyoran, Kilcor, Killawillin, Kill St. Anne, 

 and Farran. As a consequence of its quite unusual fertility, the land lias 

 1 n for ages under more or less intense cultivation: hence wholesale dis- 

 appearance of Hoses. On rn, less fertile, frontier of the parish, 

 ver, the ancient enclosures survive in some numbers.
