TOAVNLANDS. 



Ballydonaghbeg, Baile Dhonnchadha Beag — " Donnchad's Little 

 Homestead." 



Ballydonaghe (Inq. Jas. I). 



On Edmond Colbert's farm is a fine lies, with double rampart, in rather 

 good preservation but the inner ring is more or less obliterated. The outer 

 rampart is about 5 feet high. Area, 177 a. 



S.D. Bothar na Sop— "Koad of the Wisps." This is a name of rather 

 frequent occurrence, I imagine it is applied because in narrow roads, over- 

 hung by hedges, wisps of hay, straw, &c., get pulled out as laden carts come 

 through at haymaking and harvest seasons. 



Ballydonaghmoee. See last. 



By side of main road, on Kelleher's farm, there stands a noble lios of 

 unusual size and strength. It has three lines of concentric rampart, and two 

 intermediate trenches, each 15 feet wide, all enclosing a central court, about 

 three-fourths of an acre in extent. Two of the enclosing ramparts are 

 about 12 feet in thickness by 4 to 6 feet high, but the outermost has, 

 unfortunately, been almost entirely levelled. Area, 438 a. 



S.D. Seana Mhuileann— " Old Mill." 



Ballymaetin, Baile Mhartain — "Martin's Homestead." On Staunton's 

 farm there is a small circular lios, single-ramparted, about 8 feet hio-h. 

 There is also a holy well and a cillin site. Area, 569 a. 



S.DD. Tober na Killeen (O.M.), Tobar a Chillin— " The Little Church 

 Well." This is the holy well above alluded to. It is a small stone-lined 

 basin, by side of a stream at bottom of a glen, on Richard Daly's farm. 

 Overhead, on branches of an aged ash-tree, hang various votive offerings 

 of the usual kind. There is, however, neither trace nor tradition of the 

 name-giving cillin. The chief day of devotion is August 15th.
