TOWNLANDS. 



Ballynamaddree, Baile na Madraidhe— " Village of the Dogs (Wolves ?)." 

 There were two Hoses, on the respective farms of Hanlon and 



Walsh, but both have been improved away. A small segment of a third 



fort survives near the western boundary of the townland. Area, 470 A. 



S.DD. Ballaghmire(O.M.), Deal AthaMaghair—"Maghair's Ford-mouth." 

 The Pedlar's Grave. A gentleman (?), whose dogs killed and ate a 



pedlar, buried the skeleton here. 



Ballyskeedane, Baile an Sciardain — " Village of the Wind Blast." There 



is one lios of medium size on the farm of Andrew Cotter, about middle of 



townland. Area, 162 A. 



S.D. Ladhar a Da Abhainn — " Fork of the Two Elvers." 

 Ballythomas, Baile Thomais — " Thomas' Homestead." 



Ballythomas (Inq. Car. I). 

 There is a small lios, with fence, about 5 feet high, on Mrs. Foley's farm. 



Area, 128 a. 



S.D. Paircin a Euisin. Buis, of wliich the qualifying term here seems 



to be a diminutive, is the elder-tree. 



Templemichael, Teampul Mhichil — " Michael's Church." 



The " Church in Euins " of the CM. is merely a circular mound, about 



1 foot in height and an acre in extent. It is called the Teampuiliu. On 



the townland was one circular lios of moderate size near the north boundary, 



but this too has been improved away. There is also a dallan 5 feet by 3 feet 



on Jennings' farm. 



S.DD. The Teampuiliu, as above. 



The Graff, a field ; the name comes from graflan, the adze for skinning 



land. 



Paire an Fhasaigh, " Field of the Wild Growth." 



Cnoc na bhFear — '• Hill of the Men " ; a field for hurling, &c. 



Paeish of Templebodaj^. 



The name comes from the ancient church which was named, in its turn, 

 from its founder, Buadan— perhaps Buatan — whom I cannot further identify. 

 The church is named Drummor in the Taxation of Pope Nicholas, and later 

 documents show that its rectory was impropriate in the Abbey of Bridge- 

 town. Besides minor antiquities, the parish has an ancient graveyard, two 

 early church sites, a holy well, and an ogham-inscribed stone.
