S.DD. Shanowenadrimma Stream (O.M.), Sean Aba na Druimfhinne — 

 " The White-backed Cow's Old River." The Ordnance Surveyors apply this 

 tautological name bo the stream which forms the eastern boundary of the 

 townlanil. 



" The Lios Field," on Brodericlc's farm, where there is no lios now. 



Grange, Grainseach — Idem. A grange is more especially the out-farm 

 of a Religious House. Area, 337 a. 



On this townland — just within its boundary fence, near the south-west 

 angle— is a pillar-stone of the same type as the Ballyhamsherry monument. 

 The present dallan is deeply embedded in the earth and is, in some way, 

 associated in popular estimation with the Holy Well on Ballyrobert. A few 

 years since there were three lioses, but only one — a large specimen — now 

 survives. On Andrew Meade's farm in low- lying, wettish land, are two or 

 three folacht-fiaidhs or prehistoric cooking places. 



S.DD. " The Castle Field." This is on Andrew Meade's farm. Cannon- 

 balls have been found here ; also the foundations and other remains of ancient 

 buildings. 



Pairc na Bo Mairbhe. " The Dead Cow's Field." 



Kilcor, Coill na Coradh (or, na Corra) — " Wood of (beside) the Irrigation 

 Dam (or 'of the Round Hill')." According to Canon Lyons, 1 "Corradh" 

 signifies a homestead. Area, in two divisions (including a considerable 

 portion of mountain), 1427 A. 



Killcurr (D.S.R.) ; Kilnacor, Kilnecur, and Coilneeurra (ancient authorities 

 quoted by Windele— ms. R.I.A. 12. I. 11, pp. 191, &c). 



This townland lies on, or contiguous to, the southern boundary of the 

 parish, and on it are two cealls, together with the site of an ancient castle. 

 The beauties, glories, and memories of Kilcor were celebrated in a popular 

 song, which began : — 



" Coill na Corra cois Brighde." 



S.DD. Kilcor Castle (O.M.). According to local tradition, this was a 

 castle of the O'Briens, who held under the Barrymores, but were obliged to 

 return to Clare (by transplantation) in the middle of the seventeenth century. 

 The tradition almost certainly embodies historic fact. Compare the document 

 quoted under Pellick, below. 



Cill na Corra. The ceall site, on Pyne's holding, close to the castle. 



Pairc a tSeipeil — " The Chapel Field," on Hegarty's farm. The name 

 suggests merely a chapel site of the Penal days, but the tradition of a grave- 

 yard attached points to an early Celtic church site.
