INTRODUCTION.

 

Native toponomy or the study of Irish Place-Names has hitherto
received but scant attention at the hands of scholars. In the not
distant future, however, the science is certain to attain a very con-
siderable importance for, of the many branches of archeology,
there is not one more useful to the scientific historian. It tells
him—if he has learned to read its message—not only the physical
appearance and character of the country in ages past, not only the
story of flora and fauna in times whereof there is no written record,
but many particulars moreover concerning the successive races who
occupied the land—of their movements and their occupations, their
culture and their social system, their institutions and their manner
of thought. As the Saxon names of England borrow a hard and
practical and matter-of-fact character from the racial mind of which
they are the product so our Irish place-names, breathing a soft
aroma of fancy, indicate themselves the offspring of a more imagin-
ative people. At the same time it is proper here to note that there
has been much exaggeration regarding the poetry latent in our
Irish names. The imaginative in place-names is far less, propor-
tionately, than the same element in the literature—less even than
what one should prima facie, somehow or other, expect. _It is the
dreamy country schoolmaster and the disciple of Vallancey who
have read into local nomenclature so much unwarranted poetry, or
rather, subtilty—complexity of idea. As a matter of fact place-
names in general, and Irish place-names in particular, are the
simplest of simple things. In their concept there is no subtlety; in
their genesis no conscious striving at effect. It is the ‘“‘ Red Bog,”
“Great Hill” or “Tree-Surrounded Homestead,” with occasional
dashes of fancy due to some resemblance—perhaps apparent,
vi. INTRODUCTION,

perhaps apprehensible only by the Celtic mind. As a rule the
place-name is merely descriptive. A tribe or family fixes its abode
beside a hill or stream; thenceforth the hill or stream, though in
contiguity perhaps with other and more imposing hills and streams,
becomes to the members of that primitive community—“ the Hill”
or “ the Stream,” or even, “the Great Hill” or “the Great Stream.”
Magnitude or the opposite are merely relative ; a ridge, thirty feet
high, becomes “ Ard-Mhér «(Great Eminence), to the dwellers on
the plain adjacent. It matters not, that within vision, away in the
distance, are other much greater eminences; with these our
primitive community is nowise concerned. Similarly, originate
our “Great Forts,’ and ‘Great Strands,” our “Great Ridges”
and “ Great Homesteads.”

Any comprehensive or scientific study of our place-names pre-
supposes some knowledge of the various races which compose the
population—some knowledge likewise of the various languages,
religions and general culture of these races, as well as of the history,
at least in outline, of the country. Authentic Irish history prob-
ably carries us no further back than the first century of our era (a).
By the aid of Anthropology, Archzology and Philology we are able
to see somewhat dimly beyond this—into the mists of the pre-
historic dawn. It seems to be fairly well established now that
there was a dual Celtic colonisation of Early Ireland as well as of
Great Britain—a Gaodhalic colonisation and a Brythonic. Previous
however to the advent of the Celtic vanguard our island
we find in occupation of a race which, for want of a more
definite name, we may (following scientists of various schools) call
Pre-Aryans. These latter, probably now represented on the
Continent by the Basques, appear to have been in the neolithic
or polished-stone stage of development on their first contact with
the Celts (b). They were entirely, or almost entirely, overcome in
Ireland by the conquering Gaodhal in the first Christian cen-

turies (c), but they were by no means exterminated. The Gaodhals,
whom we may equate with the half-legendary and half-real Milesians
of the Irish annalists, brought the whole island under their sway (d).
On the other hand the settlements of the Brythons (the last-
comers) appear to have been very restricted in area—confined
in fact to the extreme south-east angle of the island. Inter-
relationship, if any, of the aboriginal neolithic people with the
later colonies is by no means easy to determine. The former
we find styled Ivernians (e). Hence come the classic names of
Ireland—Juvernia, Ivernia, Irene, Hibernia, &c., as well as the
Irish Eriu, Erainn, Erie, Erin, &c. It is established that the
Gaodhals and Brythons were allied races, speaking allied tongues,
and that the one was in the bronze and the other in the iron age
on their arrival in Britain (f). As the conquests of the Brythons
in Ireland were so restricted we may regard them as having no
appreciable effect on the general local nomenclature of the island.
They may have however, and probably they actually have, in a
slight and indirect degree, affected the local names of Decies.
From the prominence given to the Ivernians by Ptolemy, and
from the manner in which the race in question has impressed its
name upon the land, it is justifiable to conclude that it was the pre-
dominant people of prehistoric Ireland. It is placed by the Greek
geographer on the middle south coast of Ireland, in the region cor-
responding with the present County of Waterford. For all practical
purposes we may regard the Ivernians as the Firbolgs of Irish myth
and legend and of MacFirbis’s Genealogies. It is moreover highly
probable that a strong Ivernian element still subsists in the blood
of Decies. Authorities (g) are of opinion that the Ivernians, Firbolgs
or neolithic aboriginals spoke a non-Aryan language. As in some
small degree corroborative it may be noted that it is still an open

question whether the river, and a few other geographical, names of
Decies be Celtic at all. Be the solution of the question what it
may the majority of river names of the region have so far defied
analysis. It is just possible—and perhaps something more—that
these names, together with some mountain names (Broe, Dyrick &c.)
and the names of some more important territorial divisions (Decies,
Iffa, Femhin &c.) are pre-Celtic and pre-Aryan. In this connection
a list—perhaps not quite complete—of such river-names will be of
interest :—Suir, Tar, Dwag, Thonog, Nire, Countaish, Buading,
Lingan, Clodagh, Ire, Mahon, Tay, Nemh, Araglinn &c. To the
foregoing list we may add as perhaps not quite clear:—Bualack,
Funcheon, Colligan, Bricky, Licky, Bride, Anner &c.

For sake of completeness it will be necessary here to briefly
recapitulate the stereotyped account of the Milesian conquest of
Decies by the three sons of Fiacha Suidhe. There are varying
versions of the tale, but all agree in essentials(t). Of the three
sons of Fiacha aforesaid the most noted was Fergus, named from
his martial prowess “ of the Dreaded Spear.” He slew Caellach,
son of the monarch Cormac, thrust out the King’s eye and killed
the royal steward. For this Jése-majesté Fergus, with his brethren
and followers, were driven forth from their tribal lands of Meath,
routed in many battles by the royal troops and forced to fight their
way to the extreme south. Here, through favour of their connection
by marriage, the King of Cashel, they obtained the territory
now roughly comprised in the County of Waterford. Some cen-
turies later the Desii, as the tribesmen of Fergus were called,
succeeded in extending their boundaries on the north by conquest
of Northern Decies (approximately equivalent to the present
Tipperary portion of Lismore Diocese) from the men of Ossory.
Such in brief is the story of the expulsion and final settlement of
the Desii, a story which MacNeill (i) rejects as pure invention.
If the account given were history then the Desii as of undoubted

INTRODUCTION, IX:

Milesian stock should be a free and not a tributary people. As a
matter of fact however we know, on the authority of the Book of
Rights, that the Desii both of Waterford and of Meath were tributary.
It seems expedient therefore to admit that the Desii were of
original Iberian and not of Milesian or Celtic stock, and that in an
age of history and genealogy fabrication, scil:—the roth century, the
story of the expulsion was invented, or distorted into its present
form, and a brand-new full Milesian pedigree manufactured for an
Iberian tribe. As however the matter is not of prime importance,
or indeed of importance at all, for our present purpose it will not
be necessary to pursue it further in this place.

The heads of Decies’ history subsequent to the 3rd century
may be enumerated in a single paragraph. They are—the con-
quest of Northern Decies already alluded to—the introduction of
Christianity from Britain and the Continent—the subsequent
general conversion of the tribesmen by SS. Declan and Patrick
in the 5th century—the founding of Lismore in the 7th century—
the advent of the Danes two centuries later—the building of
Waterford by the Northmen—the advent of the English and the
grant of Decies to Norman Knights and freebooters. With the
settlement of the Anglo-Normans feudal law and forms take the
place of the Brehan code, a Norman church discipline is intro-
duced, and the peculiar Irish system of succession known as
Tanistry as well as the immemorial rights of tribesmen are
ignored. Forceful seizure of Irish lands necessitates a retention
by force—hence reprisals, castle building and burning, and petty
wartare interminable. Four centuries from the English invasion
come the religious changes of Tudor times to make confusion
worse confounded, discord more discordant, and to render more
difficult than ever mutual understanding of the native and the
stranger. Finally, to complete the cup of a nation’s agony, are
added James and confiscation, Cromwell and confiscation, the
Boyne and confiscation, penal laws, confiscation and degradation.
Hope, which rose with the volunteers, was stamped out in 1798
and 1800; it smouldered for half a century, was fanned to life by
O’Connell and Young Ireland, and all but died out again at the
xX. INTRODUCTION.

famine. Black ’47 was more destructive of the spirit that went to
make a nation than anything beside which had occurred since the
landing of Strongbow. In the Place-Names of the Decies will be
found reflections of every enumerated epoch and event—reflections
so unmistakeable that from the bare names alone one might fill in
the whole history in outline.

Many—perhaps the majority—of townland and parish names
possess an antiquity far greater than the present shape of the name
would suggest. With a form as of yesterday the name has not
unfrequently behind it the hoary antiquity of several centuries.
From their occurrence in early deeds and charters we know that
many townland and nearly all parish names go back to the Invasion,
and undoubtedly a large proportion of these to a period consider-
ably more remote. Sub-denominations—i.e. names of townland
sub-divisions, roads, wells, fields &c.—are generally less ancient,
but even of these a certain proportion is of great age. In hundreds
of instances what are now merely townland sub-divisions were
formerly independent townlands, and similarly there are townland
names which formerly designated not merely the present townland
but a district or manor embracing several plowlands.

As he who runs may read the vast majority of our place-names
are undoubtedly Celtic. Some, as we have just seen, are probably
pre-Celtic, and there is a considerable sprinkling of Teutonic and
apparently Teutonic names—English and Scandinavian. A few
Norman-French names appear, as Gracedieu, Bewley (Beau Lieu)
&c., but they are of little importance. Considering the protracted
domination of the Northmen, and considering the strong Danish
element in the population of Waterford City and Gaultier, the
number of Scandinavian names is surprisingly small ; Ballygunner,
Ballytruckle, Helvick and Faithlegg almost exhaust the list, and
some of these are only in part, and some doubtfully, Danish.
English names are mostly translations of original Irish names ;
when not translations they are generally unnatural—the outcome of
affectation. Probably most of the translated names date from the
latter half of the 17th century, when (femp. Chas. II.) an Act was
passed commanding the use of English instead of Irish names in
INTRODUCTION. xi.

certain cases(j). The number of English names that are not
translations of Irish originals is very limited indeed. Foreign
names, other than those which are religious or designate owner-
ship, have been curiously lacking in adhesiveness; at any rate they
have rarely survived, and the explanation is probably to be found
in their inappropriateness. There is a class of names which,
though really Irish, simulate an English origin and appearance—as
Glenhouse (Gleann-a-Cowish—“ Glen of the Stepping Stones”),
Sion (Sheean—" Fairy-Hill”), Bell Lake (Baile-an-Locha—‘ The
Lake Homestead ”), Baylough (Beal-a-Locha—" Lake Mouth ”).
Sometimes, too, the name has, through an incorrect apprehension
of its component parts, been incorrectly Englished, like “ Crow
Hill” (Cnoc na bfpaocén), which should be ‘‘ Hurt Hill” if the
bf p40c4n had not been mistaken for bPpéacan.

It is the dubious honour of the nineteenth century to have
invented—or at any rate appropriated and developed—the idea of
the place-name which is a lie or meaningless. | Up to a hundred
years ago every place-name conveyed some definite idea of the
physical character, history or ownership of the place it represented.
A new style of place-naming—the nonsensical—has developed with
theprocess of Anglicisation within the past century. Can anything be
more fatuous than the modern Selbournes, Holmacres, Malls and
Blenheims—reminding one of Emerson’s complaint of America,
that ‘‘it is whitewashed all over by unmeaning names the cast-off
clothes of the country from which the emigrants came.” Can
anything surpass in absurdity our Lakefields, where there are no
lakes, our Hollywoods without holly or woods, our Prospects and
Belleview from which nothing can be seen!

xii. INTRODUCTION.

Anglicisation of Irish names is a highly interesting process,
following certain fixed phonetic laws. Sometimes indeed it appears
to depart from law, but this is often because, for the nonce, it
has come under the operation of another law. In this present con-
nection Anglicisation is taken to signify something else than the
mere translation of the name, scil:—the reduction of the Irish
sound of the name to the nearest common English vocalisation.
In the process the Irish gutterals and aspirates are softened or
elided, quantities are changed, and the more delicate Irish vowel
sounds, as well as difficult consonantal combinations, are entirely
eliminated as offensive to Saxon ears. It is the Irish sound rather
than the form of the name as spelled which is regularly made the
subject of the process. Occasionally however, as in names em-
bodying the word Rath, Currach (pr. Cpoe in Waterford) &c., the
converse of the foregoing rule obtains, and it is the name as written,
rather than as sounded, that is operated upon. In consequence
of the elision &c. of gutterals, delicate vowel sounds, and diffi-
cult combinations the spelling of the name is usually much shorter
in English than in Irish. Sometimes, too—where letters or com-
binations thereof are sounded alike in English and Irish—the name
can hardly be said to change at all in spelling or in pronunciation,
v.g. in Ballinaboola, Carrigsaggart (Daile na Duaite, Cappais
Sasazic) &c.

In connection with Anglicisation of Irish names there are a
few special phenomena worthy of notice here. The first is incor-
poration of the Irish article in the Anglicised name. Of this we
have instances in the case of Nire, a river name, and Neddans,
name of a parish in Barony of Iffa and Offa. In both these cases,
and in dozens such, the Initial N is simply a remnant of the article
which formerly stood before the name—n feaoén, dn Urdpe
&c.; compare Naul, Nore, Nobber &c. Differing considerably from
the change just noticed are internal alterations frequently wrought
by simple metathesis. Certain Irish consonants possess a mutual
affinity which renders interchange not only possible but some-
times easy. The most common interchanges are of ft to n and
vice versa. We have an instance of an 1 to n change in Lisronagh,
INTRODUCTION. xiii,

the correct and original form of which is Lisroragh. Similarly th
is sometimes changed to f, v.g. in Affane, Kilcalf, Ballylaffan
(St Mead4n, Crt Cata, Daite an Locdin) &c. On the effects
of aspiration and eclipsis in place-names there is no need to dwell,
for these in place-names do not differ from the effects of aspiration
and eclipsis generally. For benefit, however, of the reader who
is ignorant of Irish it may be well to point out that, owing to
the laws of Irish grammar and phonetics, a word may have quite a
different sound in composition from that which it has when standing
alone. dott, a hole, for instance, is pronounced fowl, but in the
genitive singular with an article prefixed it becomes Putt (Fyel),
while in the genitive plural, with a chief noun and an article prefixed,
it is transformed into bowl as in Détap ns bPott. Again Trad, a
deer, is pronounced Féah, but prefix another noun and it becomes éah,
as in Cluain fia. Very frequently the place-name is not, as we
should expect, in the nominative but in an oblique case—the dative
or, as we style it in this connection, the locative. This is a fact
extremely puzzling to beginners. A little consideration will
however make clear the mental process by which the oblique
came to be substituted for the nom. case, scil:—the customary
association of the place with motion to or from. ‘We shall meet
hundreds of cases throughout the present work of datives used as
nominatives, e.g., in the various Leacans (nom. Leaca) &c,

There are many words—almost all unfortunately of frequent
occurrence—entering into composition of place-names, which it is
sometimes extremely difficult to distinguish. No word, for
instance, occurs more frequently than Daite, which has been
generally rendered ‘‘homestead” throughout the present work.
To this are closely allied in sound, though not in meaning, the
following :—bDéat, a mouth, Deatac, a gap or pass, Duaite, a
milking place, Dite, an old tree, and even Duttte, a stroke or cast,
and Datta a wall. To increase the difficulty all these, except one,
are of the same gender as Daite, and two or three of them
are pretty generally Anglicised bally. Compare Ballylooby
(Oéat), Ballybrien (Ouastte), Ballymarket (Oeatac), and
xiv. INTRODUCTION,

Ballyboy (Datta) &c. In like manner Sabann “ of a blacksmith,”
is liable to confusion with Sabainn ‘of a cattle pen,” and both
with Sabnaige “of a calf.’ Compare Ctinne a Sabann (Gowan
blacksmith), Datte an Sabainn (Gowan, cattle pen) and Sid
Ssbnaige (Gowna, calf). More difficult still is distinction between
citl, a church, and coitt, a wood; they are both feminine and
are indiscriminately Anglicised Kyle and Kill. In Kilnacarriga it
is co1ll, whereas we have citt in Kilcop and Kiltagan. Closely
related in sound to both citt and cortt is another term also, of
common use in local names—Caol, a narrow strip of land.
Cit and cit, though of different genders, are perhaps the most
puzzling of all. To increase the difficulty they differ but little in
meaning and both generally occur only in the beginning of names.
Sid, a fairy mound, and Surve, a sitting place, though sometimes
confounded, are easily distinguishable thanks to the attenuation
of the initial letter of the former; neither ought be confounded
as they both have been, with Sios, a streak. Compare Shean, See-
Mochuda, and Cheekpoint infra. The foregoing are but a few
—the most common certainly—of the words liable to confusion in
Irish place-name composition. If good native Irish speakers
cannot always easily distinguish them it behoves the student of the
subject to walk warily, to enquire carefully, to eschew dogmatism
and never, if possible, to trust to a single authority. The student’s
endeavour should be to hear the name pronounced by more than
one speaker of Irish, natives of the locality, who have heard: the
name from infancy. For neglect of local authority hardly anything
will make amends. Analogy is of course helpful, so are the forms
in ancient deeds and charters, so is the authority of an Irish manu-
script, but local pronunciation is the most valuable of all and the
student of toponomy who is not prepared to face the labour of
local investigation were well advised to leave the subject alone.
Nothing seems plainer at first glance than the derivation of
Ballyduff, the name of a village in the Barony of Upperthird.
There is a second Ballyduff in Coshmore and Coshbride, and this
the reader has already had explained “ Black Homestead.” He
INTRODUCTION. XV.

concludes at once the other Ballyduff must have a similar significa-
tion; yet here he is mistaken. Get the native Irish speaker to
pronounce it and observe the result—Daite Ui Ou1b—O’Duff’s
Homestead, Similarly Ballyboy (Par. Tallaghorton) immediately
suggests—‘ Yellow Homestead”, but there is no reference what-
ever to colour and the native speaker’s rendering will at once
demonstrate that it is—‘‘O’Boy’s Homestead”. It is possible, of
course, for the local pronunciation to be corrupt, but such
corruption is extremely rare and where it does occur there are
generally means of detecting it. There is no branch of Irish
studies in which error has been so rife as in this of place-name —
interpretation. Things are improving, but till recently one could
not take up a book, magazine or essay which touched at all
on place-names in which he did not find error abounding. Irish
toponomy was the one field in which every literary dabbler
conceived himself at liberty to run amuck—experimenting and
theorising without responsibility. It mattered not to him that he
made himself the laughing-stock of Irish scholars for the latter
were so few and their voice so small there was none so poor as to
owe them fear.

Regarded etymologically our place-names may be conveniently
divided into six general classes or groups:—(a) and (b) those
derived from natural and artificial features respectively, (c) names
derived from ownership, (d) names referring to occupations or
employments, and (e) and (f) historical and legendary names
respectively. Physical-feature names are far the most numerous
of all. These embody such terms as St1st, a mountain (Slievena-
mon); Cnoc (),a hill (Knockaderry) ; Opom (/), aridge (Drumcannon);
Ctuain, a meadow (Clonmel) ; Dun, a bottom (Bonmahon) ; Mag,
a plain (Macrary) ; Oite4n, an island (Oileanavric) ; Imp, a river-
holm (Inchanleama); Com, a mountain hollow (Coum); Ceann,
a headland (Kinsalebeg); faitt, a cliff (Foylune); Cappais, a

rock (Carrick-on-Suir); Tobap, a well (Toberaheeny). They
include a multitude of bog-terms (Moin, Cuppac, Canac,
Tonn, Clavaé, Riaps, Fert &c.) (); animal names in variety—
06, Capatt, Caops, Muc, Saban, Maopa, fF1ad, Corin,
Pfpéacdn, Corleaé, Fuipeds, Seangn (asses, spiders, mice, frogs,

Leaman, Dapac, Sceac, ‘Omrpeos, Satteac, Fuinnpeos, Caopitann,
Deit, Cop6s, Siotcaé, Cuiteann, &c. (0), and a small propor-
tion of mineral names—layiann, Op, Stnn, Saineam &c. (fp). Names
for origin of which artificial objects are responsible are only slightly
- less numerous than those derived from physical features. UDaite,
generally rendered “homestead” throughout the present work,
forms portion of no fewer than 6,400 townland names in Ireland,
and citt, a church, comes a good second, for it is the first syllable
of 2,890 names. Some 1,380 place-names in Ireland com-
mence with Lior, a residence, and Otn cannot be much less
frequently employed. Cataip is comparatively rare in the Decies,
and Catreat hardly occurs at all. Roads of various kinds furnish
a fairly large number of names. We have a number of terms:—
Dotan, Roo, Suge, Rian, Tocap, At, Cabsr and VDeatac (q).
Boher, incorporating the word 06, a cow, suggests a cattle
track; R6o is a more formal highway. Crossing a plain the
way would be called a Suge. fan implies something akin to
the “track” of the present day Australian bush parlance. Técap
is a raised way across a bog or swamp; t is the road-
crossing of a bridgeless stream, Cabar a footway on stepping-
stones, and Deata¢ the approach to a mountain gap. 4n,

a large number of names indeed (7), but Sont and Sapyarve, a
garden, are somewhat rarer (s).

Of names derived from ownership there is likewise immense
number, but not so much variety. These names embody very
generally the word’ Daite (Bally), signifying a homestead; to this
the proprietor’s name is generally attached, and the whole often
appears in very Anglicised form with the ending fown, as Grants-
town, Powerstown &c. Occasionally Feapann takes the place of
Daite (Farrengarret); but more frequently it is opom, cnoc, ban,
caipledn, S4pipidn, or some other of the many words signifying
land, or suggesting human occupation. Under the head of names
derived from ownership we may include boundaries and land
divisions. Teopa (boundary), Pat (hedge), CLarde (earthen fence) and
Datt (wall) (4) are of less frequent occurrence. The chief ancient
Irish sub-divisions of land under the coigeadh or province were the
Tricha-ced, Bailebiataich, Seisreach, Ballyboe, Quarter, Gniov and
Staing. Of all these, except the two first named, we find traces in
the local names of Decies. The Seisreach, Ballybo or Quarter, as
well as the Carucate (from the debased Latin caruca, a plough),
may for our purpose be regarded as roughly corresponding to the
modern plowland or townland. The gaiov (,, of a plowland) and
the staing (a perch) are smaller denominations. A seisreach, which
we may regard as the unit of square measurement, was estimated
to be roughly the area which six horses could plough a year (iw).
The Quarter is estimated at about 160 acres, with added bog,
mountain and wood, which were not computed in Irish land
measurement. It must be remembered that area was ascertained
by rough estimation and not by the chain. The Seisreach (and
proportionately, of course, the various higher denominations)
varied in area probably in much the same proportion that its

modern equivalent, the townland, does to-day. At present the —
average townland area for all Ireland is 325 acres—for Waterford
it is 273, for Tipperary 322, and for Cork 328. I think it may be laid
down as a general rule that the present townland divisions represent
ancient ploughlands or seisreachs; undoubtedly, however, many
divisions not previously regarded as such were called up to the
townland dignity by the first Ordnance Survey, and again, with
equal absence of doubt, many old townland names were then sup-
pressed and the areas they stood for amalgamated with another or
others under a single townland name. Personal names and titles,
incorporated to indicate ownership, are Celtic, Danish, Anglo-
Norman, Elizabethan, Cromwellian and Williamite. Thus Dun-
garvan tells of occupation by a Celtic warrior-chief; Templeivrick,
Islandkeane, Liselan, Dunmoan give each a similar account of
themselves. . Dunabrattin indicates a Welsh, and Ballynangoul
perhaps a Danish colonization. Norman ownership and denomin-
ation are proclaimed by Kilmacthomas, Power’s Country, Roberts-
town, Ballygarret, Castle Grace &c. Finally hundreds of names
commemorate grants to Desmond planters of Elizabeth’s day, as
well as to Cromwellian soldiers and adventurers of the following
century, while hundreds additional tell of conveyance to the men of
many nations who came in the wake of William or since his day.
Names arising from trade, craft or employment, though more
interesting perhaps, are less numerous than those from any of the
three already enumerated sources. Smith-craft yields perhaps the
highest proportion; the forge and furnace (Ceaproéa), the “ mighty
man” himself who presides thereat (Saba), the sledge (Gyo),
the charcoal (Suat)—have all been commemorated (v). So
also weavers and tailors have found honourable mention, car-
penters moreover and stone-masons, millers, the makers of
mill-stones, pedlars, knights and hangmen, but there is no place
called from a sailor or a soldier, a butcher, painter, lawyer
or doctor. As is natural to expect names derived from agriculture

 

(v) Augnaceratan, Ballingowan, Clashnanord, and Toberagual.
INTRODUCTION. xix,

are specially plentiful. Neither the farmer himself nor the
spailpin is mentioned, but the various kinds of farm work are
specifically introduced—reaping, turf-cutting, milking, burning the
beatail, steeping and scutching the flax &c. Nor are agricultural
implements or products forgotten; they make quite a long list as
they appear in the names of Decies—the plough (Seippeac,
Cotcap, Soc and Sabvlos), the spade (Rain), flail (Stupce), sickle
(Coppian), scythe (Speat), grubbing-adze (Spardn), shears (Oeimip),
also tethering-post, churn and churn dash, milk and butter, honey
and grain (Cpuitneact, Corpice, Corina, Seagal, Pir and Psnaire).
With names derived from occupations we may also class those
commemorative of customs and amusements—fairs (donac), harvest
gatherings (Meiteat), hurling (Camdn, Tomdin &c.), patterns
(pAcpin), dances (Rinnce), funerals (Dedpna na SCopp, &c.),
hunting (fis), Ct, Sadan &c.), fishing (Copa, laps &c.) and
trapping wild fowl (Decoy).

In names containing historical allusion the latter is often
extremely obscure—so obscure as to be all but useless to the
historian. Names of this general class are ecclesiastical, military
and civil. The greater number of ecclesiastical names are desig-
nations of ancient churches—embodying as a rule the founder’s
name as Kilmacleague, Kilgrant, Kilcockan, but specifying nothing
as to his identity, character or even age. Bishops, abbots and
priests, friars, vicars and priors, monks and nuns, the cross, the
chalice, sacred vestments, the bell, the. penitential station, and the
Mass furnish hosts of names (w). Holy wells are responsible
directly and indirectly for many names as Toberquan, Tobera-
heena, Toberessay &c., and glebes, under the form Dannra,
appear some ten or twenty times. References to wars, battles and
defeats are not by any means as many as we should expect from
the past history of Ireland: terms from military architecture how-
ever abound. Most of the military names—other than those

which have their origin in military architecture—are derived from
the battle of Affane, 1564 (see under Affane Parish). Our place-
names but rarely commemorate events of civil history—those to
which there is allusion are mostly actions at law for recovery of
land or decision of title, and, more rarely, plague, leprosy, and
murder (4).

With the historical names are closely connected those derived
from legends and superstitions. This latter class indeed furnish a
by no means insignificant proportion of the place-names of the
Decies. The mythic cow of St. Patrick, the magic Glas Gabhnach
or Azure-hued Stripper, Caille Bheara, Fionn and his companions
appear again and again, while pookas, fairies, demons, bibes
and giants are legion. To wells many half-natural, half-supernatural
virtues are attributed—the cure of toothache for instance (Tob-
berafiacal), relief of dyspepsia (Toberanaishe), removal of warts
(Tobernavaithne), &c., &c.

The territory of Decies may, for our present purpose, be
regarded as—at any rate, approximately—co-extensive with the
present Diocese of Waterford and Lismore. Of Irish dioceses in
general indeed it may be said they represent, better than any other
existing divisions, the outlines and extent of old Celtic states. The
diocese, for instance, with which the present work is concerned—
although it embraces portion of three counties and the whole of
none, and although portion of it be completely disjointed and cut off
from the main area—represents, perhaps exactly, and certainly
very closely, the ancient Decies as it extended at date of the Synod
of Rathbreasail. Native Irish territorial boundaries, it is useful to
remember, were somewhat elastic, expanding or contracting
according to success or failure of tribal hostings, and to the
chieftain’s energy. To-day the whole scheduled region is divided
into eight complete baronies, with one almost complete and small
portions of three others, scil :—

The ancient tribes or feito of Déties were O’Phelan
and O’Bric, who shared between them the Lordship; O’Breslin,
O’ Flannagan, O’ Foley, O’ Keane, O’ Meara, O’ Donnchada(O’ Dunphy
and O’Donoghue) and O’Neill (Ui Eoghain Finn) (y). Of these the
names O’Breslin and O’Bric have become extinct within their
ancient principality.

Practically every one of the many thousand Irish place-
names analysed in the following pages has been procured from
a competent local speaker of Irish. In some cases—notably in
parts of Tipperary—collection of the Irish forms was very difficult
work indeed, but work which had to be done if the record was to
be rendered complete. Hundreds of local sheanachies were
examined and cross-examined as to the traditional forms, and
great was their surprise, and sometimes their amusement, that
anybody should trouble himself about things apparently so un-
practical. In the course of his investigations the writer has been
taken for a land valuer, for an official of the Ordnance Survey, for
a Landed Estates Court agent in search of evidence to invalidate
title and, at least once, for a landlord’s emissary seeking testimony

against a tenant who had applied to have a fair rent fixed. The
Field Books of the, Ordnance Survey of Ireland have been
examined for light on names unintelligible to the writer; he found
that the names in one hundred and thirteen small note books con-
cerned with Waterford County had evidently been collected by
O’Donovan himself personally. The Tipperary names are much
less satisfactory. It looks as if the great topographer had the
Tipperary names supplied to him phonetically by the officer—
presumably, unacquainted with Irish—who collected them, and
O’Donovan does not appear to. have himself taken part in the
actual collection—as in Waterford. Throughout the present work
the writer has, wherever they serve to illustrate, added early forms
of the name from ancient Maps, Inquisitions and Parliamentary
Acts &c.

The first recorded mapped survey of any part of Ireland was
made in 1586, when the forfeited lands of Desmond, in which
were included portion of Decies (north and south), were marked
out for plantation (2), The next Irish mapped survey was that of
Strafford, but as this did not extend to Decies it need not detain us
here. To this succeeded, in less than a quarter of a century, the
famous Down Survey, which will be referred to repeatedly in the
course of the present work, and the signification of which it may
be expedient to briefly explain. On completion of the Cromwellian
campaign it became necessary to applot their lands to multitudes
of adventurers and soldiers. Hereupon Dr. (after Sir) William
Petty, Physician to the Forces in Ireland and a man of immense
business capacity, entered into a contract with the Irish Govern-
ment to survey the whole country at the rate of £7 3s. 4d. per
1,000 acres. The great work was carried through in thirteen
months—a marvellous feat considering the circumstances of the
time. Of course the precision of modern surveying is not to be
expected from Petty’s work. The results, however, were sufficiently
accurate for the purpose in view, and on Petty’s Survey (otherwise
the Down Survey) rests to-day the legal title to half the land of

Ireland. In the Record Office, Dublin, are preserved the original
maps of the survey; rather, perhaps, they were preserved there, for
many of them were destroyed by fire in 1711. Owing to their
paramount importance the burned maps were partly replaced by a
series of copies made by General Vallancey, and now known as the
Vallancey Maps. The series has, by the way, a rather curious
history: copies of the original Down Survey Maps were being
conveyed from Ireland to England when the vessel carrying them
was captured by a French privateer. The latter took the prize to
France, where the maps found their way to the French capital
and the King’s Library. Through permission of the French
Government Vallancey was enabled to make the series of copies
now in the Irish Record Office. The Down Survey Maps are of
two kinds—Barony and Parish Maps. Of the former there remain
for Waterford four and a fragment, for the Tipperary part of Decies
only one, and for the Cork portion one (partly burned). Twenty-
seven Parish Maps survive, scil:—Twenty-four for Waterford, two
(Grangemockler and part of Newtownlennon) for Tipperary, and
one (partly burned) for Cork.

Allusion to surveys suggests a passing reference to the origin and
significance of the modern divisions intermediate between province
and townland—scil:—County, Barony, Diocese, and Parish. Count
and County are titles borrowed from the Court of Charlemagne (aa).
The county is a purely English denomination based mainly on
the grouping of native lordships and ranging in date of erection
from the time of John to the reign of James I. When a hitherto
native region became a shire or county an official called a sheriff
was appointed thereto whose duty it became to execute the King’s
writ within its bounds. The purpose then which underlay the
introduction of the county division was convenience of legal
procedure. Waterford belongs to the very first batch of Irish
counties created and Tipperary, in its present form, to the last.
Tipperary, it is true was at a very early period (1328) created

a county palatine(bb), but the jurisdiction then granted was
exclusive of church lands which were extensive and were created a
separate shrievalty and county under the title of Co. of the Cross of
Tipperary. Baronies like counties are Anglo-Norman in name and
origin, based primarily too like counties upon native lordships.
The territory of a petty king who submitted was created a barony.
Hardiman (cc) moreover states that, when a magnate like De Lacy
received an extensive grant, he portioned it out amongst his barons
to hold under him by feudal service and the estates so. formed
became a barony. With barony are roughly equivalent the Saxon
hundred and cantred. Diocesan and parochial divisions, the
individual origin of which it is extremely difficult to trace, are”
of course ecclesiastical, though the parish has now become one
of the best known civil divisions. No doubt the origin of the
ecclesiastical as of the civil divisions is to be sought and found
in the geography of ancient tribal times. As the cantred corres-
ponds in a general way with the barony and the seisreach with the
townland so may the baile-biatach or biadhtach’s town be regarded
—but in a considerably less perfect degree—as corresponding with
the parish, while the Celtic tribal territory, as we have already
seen, is equivalent to the modern diocese.

The present work breaks new ground, for it is the first ever
written in detailed and systematic interpretation of the place-names
(Barony, Parish, Townland and Infra-Townland) of a county
or ancient Irish kingdom. With its analysis of many
thousand names it would be a marvel—rather, indeed, a
miracle—if the work were free from error. No doubt
some interpretations given therein will be found unsustain-
able in the light of further investigation. No doubt too a certain
proportion of names stand incorrectly recorded—a consequence of
the native speaker’s inaccuracy, of corruption which the names

have undergone, or of the writer’s defective ear—none too ready to
detect the finer distinctions of Irish phonetics. At the same time
the writer claims that no reasonable pains have been spared to
make the book both complete and accurate. Collection of the
names has occupied his spare time for many years; it has involved
many an excursion by rail, cycle and on foot—necessitated
hundreds of enquiries by letter and required the examination and
cross-examination of dozens of sheanachies in every parish of Decies.
Legends, ranns and scraps of history innumerable have been
garnered with the names—sometimes as it were encrusting the
latter, sometimes evoked by association. Incorporation of these
has not been attempted here lest it should swell to unreasonable
length a work which perhaps may be thought already ultraprolix.
Throughout the work questions of Irish spelling, consideration of
grammar, philology and phonetics have been held as of secondary
importance only. To the writer it has seemed that the first and
immediately important point was to get the names; many of
the latter, if not collected now, could never be recovered, whereas
the spelling and grammar can afford to wait. The Townland names
are arranged alphabetically under their alphabetically arranged legal
Parishes, as the latter, in turn, are arranged under similarly
catalogued Baronies. Legal Parishes, by the way, are the ancient
ecclesiastical divisions of pre-Reformation times. In some cases
these latter are curiously broken up, like Ardmore and Kilgobinet
to each of which belong three or four isolated fragments. Under
townlands—the names of which appear in small capitals—are
given (generally without respect to alphabetical or geographical
order) the sub-denominations (S.DD.), i.e., designations of sub-divis-
ions, by-roads, wells, cliff or mountain features, occasional fields &c.
No account has been made of very frequently recurring field names
such as “ Long Field,” ‘ Lios Field,” “ Field by the Road” &c.,
first, because such names lack permanence, and secondly, because
record of them would serve no purpose proportionate in utility with
the space it would require. It is not claimed for the names here
presented that they constitute an exhaustive list. In fact the
writer is well aware that there are hundreds of important and

valuable names still at large and he will be very pleased indeed to
receive from readers further authenticated names for insertion in a
second edition in the rather unlikely contingency that another
edition will ever be called for.

In bringing to a close this rather daring undertaking I beg to
make very grateful acknowledgment of the assistance rendered me
by Father Maurus O’Phelan of the Cistercian Order, who read most
of the work as it went through the press, corrected innumerable
errors of writer and printers, and made many invaluable suggestions.
My thanks are due likewise to Rev. Dr. Henebry for elucidation of
some doubtful points, to Rev. Prof. Sheehan, D.Ph., for lists of:
Ring place-names, and to Major Hayes and Captain Rotherham of
the Royal Engineers for permission very graciously given to examine
the Ordnance Survey Field Books deposited in Mountjoy Barracks,
Phoenix Park. Finally I owe a debt of gratitude—of which I tender
this acknowledgment in part payment—to the sheanachies of Decies,
those ancient men of beautiful minds, whom'I met and talked with
on the roadside or in the fields, by the turf fire on winter evenings,
or along the cliffs and up the Comeragh slopes on Suudays in
summer. Many a difficulty their fine intelligence solved, many a
quest their kindly and childlike interest helped. Was it the sunset
of life adding mystic lore or the last fitful gleams of ancient Celtic
culture—that sun about to set for ever ?

With all its faults I believe that the present book must prove
helpful to many a groper in the Celtic twilight. It marks a beginning:
let others follow: each succeeding effort will be an advance.

greatest effect, come down from your eminence and handle a

BARONY OF CONDONS AND
CLANGIBBON.

SHE boundary of the Desii must have been but loosely
defined on the confines of Ui Liathain where there
was no river, or mountain chain, to furnish a natural
line of demarkation. Rather perhaps it was a more
or less elastic quantity. There is some evidence—by
no means conclusive, or even strong—that the Decies
once extended further westwards than the present
county boundary—perhaps as far as Kilworth. The
Taxation of 1302 places the church of Kylword (Kilworth ?) in
the Diocese of Lismore. On the other hand, the adjoining
territory of Ui Liathain appears to have pushed itself, at one
period, as far east as the Blackwater. (a) It is remarkable that the
~ Diocesan and County boundaries here do not coincide. Five town-
lands of Cork county are within the Diocese of Lismore, while
a corresponding number of County Waterford townlands belong
to Cloyne. Since the Diocesan were originally derived from the
Clan boundaries and are based on them, it will be more consistent
with our scope to adopt the former as more likely to represent
the latter than are the modern county limits. Accordingly a small
portion of the Barony of Condons and Clangibbon (Co. Cork),
containing the five townlands alluded to, is here conditionally
treated as belonging to the. Decies.

BARONY OF COSHMORE AND
COSHBRIDE.

HIsTORICALLY the present barony may be regarded as belonging
more to Cork than to Waterford. As portion of the great Desmond
territory it shared in the vicissitudes of the latter for quite 400
years. Previous to the invasion it is not easy to trace its civil
history. Since, however, we are immediately concerned with the
latter only as far as it bears on, or illustrates, the place names of
the barony, it will suffice to note that the denominations derived
otherwise than from physical features or proprietorship are prac-
tically all ecclesiastical. | The school and church of Lismore have
left their impress all around on the names of the country extending
from the Bride to the boundary of Tipperary, and from the Cork
border to Cappoquin. In the light of its later history the region
under notice will not be expected to have preserved a continuity of
local tradition. It seems to have been largely cleared of its original
Celtic stock on the conclusion of the Desmond wars and, a quarter of
a century later, the then proprietor, the first Earl of Cork, was able
to boast (6) that he had no “ Irishe tenant” on his lands. The
barony is equally rich in scenic beauty and historic memories. The
memories centre round Lismore of the saints, and beauty haunts
the Blackwater “ From Youghal Harbour to Cappoquin.” Cosh-
more and Coshbride signify respectively the countries adjacent to
(Coir) the Great River (Mop) and the Bride (Opgr0, gen. Dprgoe).
As Irish is still a living speech throughout the barony, collection of
the names and interpretation of them presented comparatively little
difficulty. There are in all six parishes, of which one—Lismore and
Mocollop—surpasses in size, three or four times over, the remaining
five combined. The ‘‘ Blackwater Fishery Case,” so frequently
referred to in this section, is a privately printed volume of pedigrees,
title deeds, charters, &c., compiled for use of Counsel in the great
law case which, with varying success, was carried on for years by
the Duke of Devonshire and others, regarding fishery rights in the

Great River. It contains, in convenient compass, most of the
documentary matter bearing on the post-invasion history of the
present barony.
Kilcockan Parish.

Tuis Parish lies along the left bank of the Blackwater—southward
from the junction with the latter river of the gently-flowing Bride.
Of limited area, Kilcockan embraces a considerable proportion of
mountain and is noted for its fine scenery. The historic associations
of the parish are insignificant, and its place names of only moderate
interest. Exclusive of the ancient church which gives the parish
its name, and a description of which will be found in Journal of the
Waterford Archzeological Society (Vol. IV., p. 213), there are two
early church sites and a couple of holy wells. The number of holy
wells in the Blackwater region is, by the way, remarkable; is it a
consequence of the proximity of Lismore ?

KNOCKANORE, Cnoc 4n fogmaipi (Or ?)—“ Harvest Hill.” The
qualifying word is locally understood to be 6ip, as is evident
from the old pann:—“‘Cnoc an 6if—san of San aipgeao.”
The occurrence of 6p (Logmaip) in place names has been a
puzzle to etymologists, some of whom have made it “gold,”
others “the golden furze blossom.” I think that, in nearly all
cases, it may be safely translated and written as above. The
epithet was doubtless first applied to hitherto untilled land
brought under the dominion of the plough and producing its
maiden crop. Area, 157 acres.

Compare Manx, Stroin, a headland. (e) Possibly the hag was
the Caitleac Deas famed in local, and indeed, in general Irish
legend. The castle of Strancally was erected by the Desmonds.
in the 16th century, probably on the site of a more ancient
stronghold. In 1562 the Corporation of Youghal wrote to Elizabeth
commending the Earl of Desmond for his activity in rooting out
a den of robbers who maintained a castle at Strancally, four miles up
the river. James MacShane MacGerrot of Strancally was attainted
in. connection with the Desmond rebellion. Area, 256 acres.

Kilwatermoy Parish.

From the place-name students’ point of view the present parish,
though of the same general physical character as the last, is much
more interesting. A few of its names are of some _ historic
significance. The half legendary ‘ Rian 06 Pésopais”’ (see
under Lismore par.), which perhaps we may here equate with the
“Deatac Cocaitte” of the Annals, is traceable within its northern
boundary. (f) According to local belief Kilwatermoy itself was the
terminus of the Rian, for it was there the enraged cow overtook
the abductor of her calf. Up to comparatively recent times natives
of Kilwatermoy were looked askance at for the disgrace which the
legend of St. Patrick’s Cow attributed to their parish. In fact, a
certain family, generally known by a nickname, was popularly
regarded as the direct representatives of the 5th century thief.
Along the northern frontier of the parish, bordering on the
Bride, a number of modern names, of the usual more or less
meaningless character, have within the past generation half sub-
merged the ancient nomenclature. Ceann Muice (‘ Pig’s Head”)
has become Headborough. Uatte na mDovae (“ Churls’ Home-
stead ”) has resolved itself into Snugborough, and Cnoc na Sseac
(“ Hill of the Bushes”) into Moore Hill! The ecclesiastical
remains in the parish will be found briefly described in the
Journal of the Waterford Archzological Society (Vol. IV., p. 213).

(g) Commonly known as the ‘Desmond Roll.” This is a roll of parchment,
dated 26th year of Elizabeth and preserved in the Public Record Office, Dublin
[Bay 2, Shelf. 3, Sub-No. 71]. It recites in some 106 folios (about 24" x 18’)
the vast possessions of the attainted (Great) Earl of Desmond. The Desmond
estate extended into the present County of Waterford: hence we find amongst
the confiscated lands, the Manor, Town and Lands of Lysfynew (including
Tallow), the Manor of Kylmannahan (including “ Castellum de Donoghoe”’), the
Manor of Shehan, the Manor of Knockmoan, the Town and Lands of Stradbally
(including Ballykerock, &c.), the Castle of Comeragh, &c. This valuable
document will be occasionally quoted in the following pages as the Desmond
Roll. A modern note on the covering membrane indicates that the Roll was
tendered as evidence in the famous Blackwater Fishery Case.

synonymous with “ beinn (veann)”’ furnishes a clue to the force
of the former in place names—i.e., the point, peak, or horn-shaped
portion of the sickle. The townland is entirely wooded. Area (in

Fountain, Citt fionntain— Fintan’s Church.”. The six-
inch Ordnance Map is not correct in fixing the site of this church
by south side of the present Protestant church. That is, generally
speaking, the place to expect site of a pre-Reformation church.
The present church, however, had no predecessor on the same, or .
adjoining, site. “We shall find the early church site closer to the

Leitrim Parish (part of).

IncLusion here of this parish is not, perhaps, strictly formal.
In the hypothesis that the present diocesan boundaries correctly
represent the ancient tribal limits the parish now introduced lies
entirely outside the territory with which this work professes to
deal. As, however, five or six townlands of the extern diocese
and parish are included in the present County of Waterford,
the divisions in question are provisionally noticed. Lsat-Opurm
(Leitrim) signifies “ Grey-Ridge”; the Taxation of Pope Nicholas,
however, spells the name—Lectrum. The western boundary of the
parish and diocese has a much clearer physical definition than
the corresponding county boundary. The diocesan boundary is
marked by a deep glen running northward from the river to the
point where county and diocesan boundaries coincide.

TOWNLANDS,

CAHERGAL, Cataip Seat— White Stone Fort.” It is called

Lismore and Mocollop Parish.

Tuis is historically and as regards extent and picturesqueness, the
most important parish in the Decies territory. It is of immense
size—thirteen or fourteen miles in length by twelve miles in width.
At what particular period the two parishes became merged into one
it is now impossible to decide. The amalgamation was probably
early; at any rate the original dividing line is now, and has been
for a long time, unknown. Included in the parish is a wide area
of mountain, of which a considerable proportion has been brought
into cultivation within the last three-quarters of a century. In the
Diary and Correspondeice of the Great Earl of Cork is more than
one allusion to hunting of the wild deer along these hills three
hundred years ago. Knockmaeldown, the loftiest elevation, is 2,609
teet above sea level ; another peak—Knocknarea—is 2,149 feet.
Something more than fifty years since a series of evictions, carried
out under circumstances of peculiar hardship, deprived hundreds
of poor people of their homes on the lower slopes. Forced back
on the inhospitable heath and mountain, the evicted and their
descendants have since wrung a living from the grudging soil.
Julia Crotty, herself a native of Lismore, must have had this
clearance before her mind when describing the eviction campaign
in her novel—‘‘Neighbours.”’

As might be expected from the character of the region,
mountain names are well represented. They are, however, hardly
as numerous as might ordinarily be expected; the explanation is
the comparatively recent occupation of the higher lands. Many
names of historical and ecclesiastical interest occur in the plain
and along the river banks, and a few, even in the mountain district.

The River Blackwater flows east and west through the parish
for some fourteen or fifteen miles. Another river, the Bride, forms
15

its southern frontier; a third, the Glenshilane, marks the parish
limits on the east, while the Araglinn runs some six or seven miles
along the boundary with Tipperary. The remainder of the north
boundary line is marked by the ridge of the Knockmaeldown
(anciently. Slieve Gua) range.. Through the parish flows yet
another stream, the Owenashad, which discharges into the Black-
water at Lismore Bridge.

A general outline of its history will serve to make clear the
singular place of this parish in such a work as the present.
St. Carthage, or Mochuda, expelled from Rahan, founded his
monastery here in the 7th century—on the site probably of a
still earlier establishment. The monastery soon grew to be a
great school, to which students and religious came from all parts
of Ireland, and some from beyond the seas. Its bishops, abbots,
anchorites and teachers are referred to over and over again in the
Irish annals. It was frequently visited by the Northmen intent on
plunder. On the other hand, it received many and generous gifts
of lands and churches from neighbouring princes. Before the
12th century it had extended its spiritual sway over the Northern
Decies, and practically over the present County of Waterford. The
Castle of Lismore, originally episcopal, passed, on the dissolution or
shortly after, to Sir Walter Raleigh, and from him—through ways
that are not above suspicion-—to the Great Earl of Cork, by whose
descendants it is still held. Some portions of the ancient ecclesi-
astical residence survive, incorporated in the later stronghold. The
castle saw many a scene of war and revelry. It was several times
besieged by the Confederates during the four years succeeding
1641, and was taken finally by Lord Castlehaven. It is stated that
James II. spent-a night or more in the Castle sometime in 1689.
The coward, advancing towards one of the windows overlooking
the Blackwater, started back affrighted at the fearful depth below.

Some reference is due to a remarkable earthwork which
extends for miles through the parish, and furnishes many place
names along its course. This is the legend-laden Rian D6 pPéopais,
or “ Track of St. Patrick’s Cow.” The Rian may be identified as
the ancient ecclesiastical roadway from Cashel to Lismore, and
16

thence to Ardmore. Fifty years ago the “track” was physically
traceable as a double-banked trench over many miles of primzval
heath and peat. Owing to the advance of cultivation the track
now survives only in patches, but tradition preserves an accurate
account of almost every yard of the obliterated course. () Smith
(‘History of Waterford”) alludes to a second earthwork, which he
calls the “Clee Duv ” (CLa1de Oud) and describes as running east
and west, parallel with the Blackwater, along the lower slope of
the hills. No trace or memory of this fence survives. It may
have marked the boundary between the arable and the mountain,
or commonage, lands. For some account of the ecclesiastical .
remains of Lismore Parish see Waterford Archzological Journal,

Vol. IV., pp. 216, &c.

usual votive character, is still frequented. The well is in a wood,
where its overflowing waters have excavated a great pit. The
basin proper of the well cannot be less than twenty feet in diameter
by about ten feet in depth.

(b) Détaipin an ULcai5—" Little Road of the (lit. Ulsterman)
Wise Man.” Utcaé has come in Waterford to signify a professor of

presumed—from the peculiar local meaning attached to their name—
they depended, gipsy fashion, largely on their wits fora living.

necessary to add that holy oil and penance are often equated or, at

Tallow Parish.

Tuts Parish is restricted in area and indeed in interest—at any
rate from our present point of view. It derives its name from the
townland and town of Tallow, famous in the 17th century as the
centre of a considerable iron industry—mining, smelting and
exporting. A tolerable history of the industry might be compiled
from the references thereto in the Earl of Cork’s Diary. The iron
ore of Tallow is described by Boate as hematite, bog-iron, and clay
limestone. (w) The Earl of Cork records having sent a set of Tallow-
made knives to Lady Carew asapresent. In seven years the fore-
mentioned enterprising nobleman exported from Tallow 21,000
tons of bar iron at £18 per ton. Cannon and shot from local iron
were cast at Cappoquin in 1623.(%) Proximity of the disirict to
Lismore accounts perhaps for the unusually large number of early
church sites as indicated in its place names. For an account of
the remains &c., of the ancient parish church see Waterford
Archeological Fournal, Vol. IV., pp. 214, &c.

journey arrived near this place, when the woman, faint from
fatigue, asked the man for a piece of his footsole. With a knife
he cut off a piece and gave it to her. She demanded a second
piece and got it; but when she requested a third the husband ina
rage killed her. Shortly afterwards he was killed himself—how
or by whom my informants could not tell—and the five are
interred here in the same grave. Perhaps some other Irish-
speaking residents can supply the missing parts of the story.

Hunt Hix, Cnocén an fisadaig— Hill of the Hunting.”
Area, 89 acres.

KILBEG, Citt Veas— Little Church.” From the absence of
any trace or tradition of a church site on the present townland it
is safe to conclude that this place is merely a cut-off portion of
Kilmore. How comes it then that though named “ small” it is
actually larger than the division styled “great”? Probably
Kilmore has, since the period of separation, still further decreased
by another lopping off, or, what is less likely, Kilbeg may have
increased by absorption of, or from, a sister townland. The present
is an extraordinarily long and narrow division. Area, 651 acres.

Templemichael Parish.

Tue name of this parish suggests a Danish origin, or, at any rate,
a Danish dedication, and its position, near the mouth of a great
river much frequented of the Northmen, does not weaken the
suggestion. What St. Nicholas was to the Normans St. Michael
was to the Christianised Danes. Wherever the latter had a settle-
ment of note they erected a church under the Archangel’s
invocation. The church was accorded a prominent position so
that it would be the last object to fade from the hardy sailor’s
eyes as he set out on his perilous journey and the first to greet
him as he returned. Older than the hypothetical Danish Church
of St. Michael is the undoubted Celtic foundation of Molana, and,
later probably than either—the preceptory of Knights Templars at
Rincrew. All three have disappeared before Time’s effacing
fingers; of Molana only do any considerable remains survive.
For a description of these last and some account of Temple-
michael and Rincrew see Waterford Archeological Fournal,
Vol. IV., p. 209.

HIS Barony is enclosed by the sea and River Blackwater
on three sides and by the Drom Finghin range on
the other; hence its qualification—“ Within Drum.”
Drom Finghin (the Co. Waterford portion of which
is now more commonly known as Stab Spatnn) has
been so named from the dawn of history. It is
referred to by the Four Masters under date—
A.M. 3,502, as one of the three celebrated hills

of Ireland, for possession of which Heremon, the first Milesian

king, quarrelled with his brother, Heber. Circumstances of
situation and history have favoured preservation of the Barony’s

 

ancient land names; the region is maritime, Irish speaking, more
or less mountainous, and comparatively isolated. Add to this that
no regular “plantation” of it ever took place. Within it lies the
cradle of Christianity in the Decies, scil:—Ardmore, which
continued, intermittently at any rate, to have a bishop of its own
down to the beginning of the 13th century. As might be expected
from the region’s history, ecclesiastical place-names of much interest
survive in some number. The Barony contains seven entire
parishes and portion of another. Of these one or two rank amongst
the most exclusively Irish speaking in Ireland. Besides the
Blackwater, which bounds it on the west, Decies-Within has two
small rivers—the Goish (Seip) and the Lickey (Abainn Liceannac).
Analysis or explanation of river names is not, as a rule, attempted
though the day is not far off when they will be compelled
to yield up their secrets to Ivish philological scholarship. Seoir
55

signifies a belly or paunch; the river derives this strange name
from a sub-division of Graigue and Ballycullane townlands by
which it flows near Opoiceand na Sedire.

Aglish Parish.

Tue present Parish, of but moderate extent, lies on the east bank of
the Blackwater. It is popularly known as Caglaip na nOEipesc
(‘of the Decies”), to distinguish it from a second Aglish on the
western side of the river.(a2) We also find the form Cagtaip na
n§stt which the “ Taxations” metamorphose into Gallys, &c.
Within this parish was the chief seat and stronghold (Dromana) of
the Lords of Decies. There was also a Friary of Franciscans,
occupied by members of the brotherhood till quite recently and
supposed to be a perpetuation or rather transplantation of the
Youghal Convent—the first Franciscan foundation made in
Ireland. It is considered highly probable that the Friars expelled
from Youghal retired hither to await a lull in the penal storm and
doubtless to enjoy such protection as the Lords of the Decies
could afford them. For the local names of the parish no more, on
the whole, than average interest can be claimed. An account of
the church remains &c. will be found in the fournal of Waterford
and S.E. of Ireland Archzological Society, (Vol. IV., pp. 202, &c.).

Ardmore Parish.

Ardmore was an ancient monastic and episcopal parish
according to Celtic discipline; it is maritime in character, of great
extent and curiously broken up into isolated fragments. Historically
it is one of the most important parishes in the county—if not, indeed,
in Ireland. From our present special point of view also it is
extremely interesting. It furnishes a large number of cliff names,
some ecclesiastical names of value, and many unusual names and
60

forms. St. Declan established himself here in the 6th century, or
perhaps in the 5th—previous to the advent of St. Patrick,—
for the chronology of Declan’s life is singularly complicated
and uncertain. The present writer is preparing for publica-
tion, and hopes soon to be able to send to the press, a
medizeval Irish “ Life” of the Saint from a continental MS. The
ecclesiastical remains at Ardmore consist of a Cathedral, Round
Tower, primitive oratory, and, at a distance of a quarter of a mile
from the main group,‘a second early church with holy wells, &c.
There is likewise the site of a castle, frequently referred to in
connection with the 17th century wars. For a detailed description
of cathedral, tower, oratory, &c., see Yournal of Waterford
Archeological Society, Vol. IV., pp. 153, &c. Ardmore (Arvo Mop
‘Great Height”), is name of the parish only. An older name
according to St. Declan’s Life was Ayo na SCaopac— Height of
the Sheep.” Syvo na sCaopac, as a place name, still survives; it
is occasionally applied to that portion of the parish lying generally
to south of the main road which runs from Ardmore village to the sea
at Whiting Bay. Within the specified area are roughly comprised
the townlands of Ardocheasty, Ardoginna, Farrengarret, and Ballina-
mona. The village of Ardmore is spread over the adjoining
portions of four townlands—Duffcarrick, Dysert, Farrengarret and
Monea. That wonderful industrial revivalist, the Great Earl of
Cork, developed an extensive fishery at Ardmore. In 1616 he

(s) Cloé (or Cpoé) an Oispe—"‘The Heir’s Rock (or
‘Gallows’).” The name is accounted for as follows. A young man,
the heir of considerable property, had gained a certain lady’s affec-
tions. A jealous and disappointed rival contrived at a ball to put by
stealth into the young man’s pocket a gold cup, which he then
accused him of stealing. The accused fled on horseback and, being
pursued, jumped his horse over faitt fa04, calculating the animal
would fail to clear the chasm and that both would be killed. The
horse, however, jumped the opening and landed on a piece of earth-
covered rock at the other side. Here the young man took refuge

at this place !

BALYLNAGLERAGH, UDaile na BCtéipeac—" Clergy Town.”
Area, 98 acres.

BALLYNAMERTINAGH, Datte na mbipctineac— Homestead of
the Small Bundles” (O’D.). Although this is O’Donovan’s explana-
tion of the name, I regard it with considerable doubt. It seems much
64

more probable that the qualifying word represents a family name,
scil:—Martin or Merton. The Act (16 Chas. I.) for adjusting
differences between the Earl of Cork and the Bishop of Waterford
enacts that “the Castle in Ardmore lately builded by Sir E. Harris
with the two plowlands next adjoining called Carriggduffe and
Ballymartinagh be made mensalls for ever of the Bishoprick.”

(c) TIS Cartte Déapa— Caille Beara’s House”; this is an
unmarked cromlech standing close to edge of the cliff (f).

“« Cliff of the Streamlet.”” There is a similarly named cliff on Ballina-
harda, and in both cases the cliff so designated is between two small
glens running down to the sea.

BaLiynamona II., Daite na M6na— Homestead of the Bog.”
This townland, of same name as last, is separated from the latter by

CARRONAHYLA, Capin na hdidte—O’ Donovan renders it “Cairn
of the Adze”’ and surmises that the monument marks the grave
of a cooper. The name may be Cain na hditte, “ Cliff Cairn”;
or possibly C. na dibte—“ Cairn of Fire Spark (or ‘Electric
Flash’).” Area, 157 acres.

CARRONADAVDERG, Cain 4 Daim Verpi5— Cairn of the Red
Ox”; a remarkable eminence visible for many miles in three direc-

temporary giant had a “ difference” as to ownership of a certain

a horn of the beast and pulled the creature in twain. Something
Over a century since an enterprising man named Gilmartin erected

men. Area, 291 acres.

“ Cuppac Tipm na Sac’? (Old Saying).

running east and west.

celebrated rock on which the Saint’s Bell or altar stone was carried
across the sea from Wales.

modern road represents portion of the ancient highway which ran
northwards from Ardmore to Cashel. In other portions of its

Patrick’s Cow, &c.

(d@) fatee— Hurling Green.” This was a sandy space, thirty
acres in extent and grass overgrown, which lay between the present
partly washed-away strand road and the sea. Only about two
acres of the green remain; the balance has been carried away
by the sea.

(e) Cpanné6s—“ Artificial Island.” This has entirely disappeared.
The site, which is now far below high water mark, must have been
a tideless lagoon at the date of construction of the Crannog (§).
Curiously enough Cpannég is the Irish for a pulpit and the dicky
of a coach; the idea of isolation, on an eminence overlooking one’s
surroundings, underlies the various uses of the word.

church—probably of the 12th century, also a Holy Well much

the commonage gates, on the boundary of the then reclaimed land.

promises to give back to the grudging waste most of what, with
God knows how much toil, has been wrung from it. Area, 97
acres.

‘$.D. Mine Head (O.M.); so called from some lead and
silver mines formerly worked here. In connection with the
abandonment of the enterprise a story is told locally of a miner
employed in the workings who, when he came up for dinner, was
in the habit daily of sharing his meal with a certain wild crow of
which he had made a pet. In the course of time the bird grew to
recognise both his patron and the dinner hour. His companions
often amused themselves at the expense of the kind-hearted miner,
and made fun of his strange protegé. One day, the crow at dinner
became quite facetious, and lifting its benefactor’s hat off its
owner’s head flew away with it. The miner was obliged to follow
in pursuit and had got some distance from the works before he
recovered his headgear. When the irate workman got back to his
shaft his companions had already descended and were entombed
below, for the mine had caved in immediately on their descent !
On Mine Head is one of the chief lighthouses on the Southern Irish
Coast.

Ballymacart Parish.

This is a very small division—of the same general, physical &c.,
character as Ardmore. It contains only two complete townlands
with portion of four others. A feature—unique, as far as the writer
is aware—is the situation of the ancient church, scil:—immediately
without the present boundary of the parish. For further details see
Fournal of Waterford and S.E. of Ireland Archzeological Society,
Vol. IV., pp. 197, &c. In 1280 (Jan.) there is record of a grant in,
fee to Robert de Stapleton of the land of Balimaicort, a messuage
called Knockedrum, 80 acres in Ballicullan, and the townland of
Baliabraam (n).

Clashmore Parish.

Historically this is, after Ardmore, the most important, parish
of the Barony. Like almost all parishes attached to important
Celtic foundations Clashmore is of large extent. Its nomenclature
is of perhaps more than average interest; there are a dozen, or
more, very unusual names, and a few names which are of a
puzzling character. St. Cronin Mochua, a disciple of St. Carthage,
founded the monastery and church of Clashmore, and here he and
his household were murdered by pirates in or about 631. For
further information see ¥ ournal of Waterford Archzological Society,
Vol. IV., pp. 201, &c.

which, owing to its position, the sun is said never, or but seldom,
to shine. ,

old townland.

puted holy.

AUGHNACURRAVEIL, St na §Haipbé1l. Somewhat uncertain.
O’D. renders it—“ Ford of the Midges (Coppairniot).” Sampbéit
looks like a Celticised corruption of the English word “Gravel”;
Saipbéat (Gravel) is, however, masc., while the word here is (if in
the sing.) feminine. Further investigation is needed. Area, 287
acres.

S.DD. (a) Tobap Oprain— Brian’s Well.”

(6) Pott na sCaopac—" (Washing) Hole of the Sheep”;

in which Baillin, a disciple of St. Patrick, was drowned (0).

BALLINAMULTINA, Daite na mODuittineac—“ Homestead of
the Beltons or Boltons.” A fair was held by patent at the village

served the wants of both parishes.

BALLYCURRANE. (See under Ardmore par.) Area, 232 acres.

BALLYHEENY, Daile Ui tinrd—“O’Heeny’s Homestead.”
This is an Ulster family name. Local Seanchaidhes tell that the
Castle of Ballyheeny (it was really a stronghold of the Desmonds)
was owned by an O’Heeny who, for her fortune, left a daughter an
old horse’s skin and as much land as it would cover or enclose.
The quick witted lady cut the hide up into thin strips of which she
made a rope long enough to enclose the townland of Ballyheeny,
which thereupon became her property. Area, 381 acres.

KILMoRE, Citl M6p—“ Great Church.” The early church
site is surrounded by an immense embankment of earth—the
largest of its type in the Decies. This great earthwork, elliptical
in shape and nearly 300 yards in greater diameter, is composed of
walls still no less than 25 feet high in parts, measured from bottom
of the surrounding fosse. The trench itself is 10 feet deep by 17
in width. Area, 98 acres.

KNOCKANARIS, Cnoc an ftapaip. Meaning uncertain ;
apparently—" Hill of Crookedness,” but it may be C. an Prabpaip
(“ Fever Hill”), from the fact that fever patients were removed
thereto for ‘sanitary reasons in time of pestilence, or, more likely
perhaps, C. an Spuip ( Hill of the Dwelling”). Area, 667 acres.

S.DD. (a) Citt Cotum Oeips5—“ St. Columbderg’s Church”’;
an early church site with circular fence; a holy well at west side of
the enclosure has been recently drained. Amongst the ‘“Muintir”

S.DD. (a) Paine 4 Tige Moy~— Great House Field”; a
family named Hynes, and afterwards the Ronaynes, resided here.

(b) Cataip na sCnarh—‘ Stone Fort of the Bones.” This
seems a submerged townland name. The sub-division (about
60 acres) so named lies close to, and on, the coterminous boundary of
this townland and Garranaspig, and embraces portions (about 30
acres) of both. Forty years ago there was here a considerable
village known as “ The Cathair.”

Grange Parish.

An older name of this parish is Lior Seineéin— Guinan’s Lios”
(“ Lisgenenan ’’—Visit. Books, E., 3. 14, T.C.D.), from an earthen
fort, not now existing, but the site of which is just traceable on
boundary of the townland of Cush. Grange (Spainpesc) is, of
course, an English word common enough in place names. It
means the out-farm of a religious house or body. Grange parish,
which is of moderate extent, is of the same general (physical &c.)
character as Ardmore and Clashmore. Unlike the two latter
however it has practically no sea frontage. The church remains
are described in the Waterford Archeological Fournal, Vol. IV.,
p. 196. Within the ill kept graveyard attached to the ruined
church stands a stunted and imperfect ogham-inscribed pillar
stone on which Mr. Brash could only read ‘ Amogi.” (s)

THE place names of the Parish are as interesting and as numerous
as the peculiar position and circumstances of the region warrant
one in expecting. This parish forms the extreme portion of a
prominent headland and is bounded by the sea therefore on three
sides and by untilled and unoccupied mountain on the other.
Ringagonagh, or Ring as it is popularly called, is one of the most
Irish speaking parishes in Ireland. Needless to add, the parish

name—Rinn O 5Cuana (“ O’Cooney’s Point ”’)—is not ecclesiastical
in origin ; itis written ‘‘ Rin Igoneighe” in an Inquisition of the time
of James I. For a description of the ruined church, &c., see
Fournal of Waterford Archeological Society, Vol. IV.,p.198. Many
of the sub-denominations in this parish were collected for me by
Rev. M. Sheehan, D.D., D.Ph., Maynooth College. To Dr. Sheehan
I beg likewise to express my indebtedness for many valuable
suggestions as to the meaning of the sub-names in question.

a track across the mud-slob to meet D6taiptin na Tage at the far
(Dungarvan) side. The track, scarcely ever used now, was of
course covered by the sea at high water.

of the bay, is marked Carrickapane on the Ordnance Map, and
Irish speakers sometimes call it Cappats « Péine, the meaning of
which is doubtful.

BARONY OF
DECIES-WITHOUT-DRUM.

ARONY names are almost always of great antiquity;
they are generally ancient territorial denominations.
Decies perpetuates the name of the ancient Desii
race and region. The present barony is so called
to distinguish it from a second Decies—known as
“Within Drum ”—from which it is separated by
the Drom Finghin range, referred to in the Irish
Annals as far back as the year of the world 3,501.

Under the date in question the Four Masters state that Heber

quarrelled with his brother Heremon for possession of this—one

of the three most excellent hills in Ireland. The Drum (Drom)
range extends from Dungarvan Bay to the western boundary of
the county and beyond. The present is far the largest barony in
the county: it comprises within its boundaries no fewer than

nineteen parishes—or rather eighteen parishes with portion of a

nineteenth. It is exceptionally rich in its local names—rich in

their number and in their variety. Not only are the names

numerous and varied, but, consequent on the use of Irish as a

 

living tongue throughout the region, it was quite easy in almost
every instance to get them from the lips of native speakers.
Towards its eastern end considerable portion of the barony was
known till recently as Paoracha, or Power’s Country—a name
which extended likewise to the adjoining parts of Upperthird
and Middlethird. Noticing the number of Powers (locally known
as Poore) and Barrons on a County Grand Jury list a witty judge
once described Waterford as “a poor and barren country.”
101

Previous to the confiscation period O’Briens, McGraths and
Fitzgeralds occupied respectively the Comeragh, Tooraneena and
Blackwater districts of the region now under review.

Affane Parish.

CoNFORMING to the general rule the parish name in the present
instance is derived from name of the townland on which stood
the ancient parochial church. Comprised in the parish is a
considerable stretch of mountain, but, as the latter was practically
unoccupied till less than a century since, mountain names are
not numerous in proportion. Throughout the parish ran (N. to S.)
the ancient highway from Cashel to Ardmore, likewise a branch
of the same which made a detour via Lismore, and finally another
ancient road—Dotap na Naorh, which led east and west, and
crossed the Blackwater river at Affane. For a detailed account
of the Cashel-Ardmore road—known as the R1An 06 Paopurs—
see an article by the present writer in the Journal of the Royal
Society of Antiquaries, Vol. XV. (Fifth Series), p. 110, and for a
description of the ecclesiastical antiquities of the parish see
same writer’s paper in ¥ournal of the Waterford and S.E. Ireland
Archeological Society, Vol. IL., pp. 195, &c.

TOWNLANDS.

AFFANE, &t Meadoin—" Middle Ford.” In local pronuncia-
tion the initial letter of the qualifying word is aspirated contrary
to grammar rule. The Blackwater was fordable in three places
below Cappoquin, and it is from the middle, or chief, of these
that the present townland gets its name. A battle was fought
here in 1565 between the Earls of Desmond (Garret, son of James,)
and Ormond (Thomas, son of James,) in which the former was
defeated with great loss. Many memorials of the fight survive in
the place names of the vicinity. Two fairs were held here—on
May 4th and November 22nd. Area (in three divisions), 371 acres.

stone cavity surrounded by a low wall.

slain were buried here after the battle above alluded to.

(c) Toba a Maorpt— The Steward’s Well.”

(d) Finisk River (O.M.), Fionnuipge—“ White (Azure) Water ”;
for a river name the present seems suspiciously easy of translation.

priest who was drowned there.

BALLyHANE, Daite Ui Seagain— O’Shane’s Homestead.”
Area, 407 acres.

Bawnrown, D4n Fionn—“ White (Azure) Field.” Area, 187
acres.

S.D. Aughnamara (O.M.), St Matpe— Mary's Ford.”

BELLEVILLE, Citt Ooiutin— “ Darahin’s Church” (see
Kilderraheen). Lag 4 O4cuir (‘‘ Hollow of the Bakehouse ’’) seems
to have been another name (alternative or older)—perhaps only
a sub-denomination. The place also bore for a short time the
fancy name—“ Bettyfield.” Area, 140 acres.

S.D. Bealleac Bridge (O.M.), Déat Lice—" River Mouth of
the Flagstone.” Compare Belleek, &c. The name Bealleac is
popularly extended in the present case to a sub-division.

acres.

S.DD. (a) Détap na vpPoct6s— Road of the Puddings”;
probably a reference to the battle of Affane.
103

(b) Tobap Piopuipse— Clear-Water Well.”

CLOTTAHINA, Clot 4 teine —“ Fire Sod.” (a) Thus
O’Donovan—but the derivation can hardly be admitted. C. Ait
(Gite) teine seems more likely. Taking clot to be asod (O’D.)
we have “Sod of the Fire Kiln.” This, to be sure, is not very
intelligible, but it isas good as O’Donovan’s “ Fire Sod.” Formerly
each village had its corn-kiln in which the grain was dried before
treatment in the domestic quern or the local mill. On the town-
land is a very well known souterrain. Area, 343 acres.

S.D. Steann na Leaca— Glen of the Flagstones”’; on west

S.D. Tobap Cotuim Citte— St. Columba’s Well”; one of
the most noted of the many holy wells of the Blackwater region.
Fifty years ago it was much resorted to for devotional purposes.

DRomana, Opom na or Opom Canais ; meaning doubtful.
O’Donovan makes it Opomannsa— Ridges,” but this is certainly
incorrect. ‘‘Ana’s Ridge” is more likely. Ana, a lady of the
Tuatha De Danaans, became Queen of the Stuag or fairy hosts of

 

(a) ‘‘ Morgan Evans of Clotthenny ” (Will of Earl of Cork, 2642).
104

Munster. Her name occurs apparently in perhaps half a dozen
further instances throughout the Decies. At Dromana was a
famous castle of the Desmonds, now metamorphised into a
modern mansion. It is stated that portions of the present castle
date from the time of King John. The original castle, together
with the Decies property (by which is here signified that portion
of the ancient Desmond estate lying on the east of the Black-
water), came into the possession of the Fitzgeralds in the first half
of the 13th century, through the marriage of John, head of the
Desmond sept, with the heiress of Thomas FitzAntony, Lord of
the Manor of Decies, &c. This Decies property remained an
integral part of the Desmond estate proper till the death, in 1457,
of James, the 8th Earl. To his younger son Gerald the 8th Earl
in question bequeathed Decies and Dromana Castle. A grand-
daughter of Gerald’s was that Katherine Fitzgerald known to
historians as the old Countess of Desmond who, it is claimed,
died at the age of 140 years. In the Park at Dromana is still
pointed out the venerable cherry tree in the endeavour to climb
which the aged lady received a fall that resulted in her death !
The Castle of Dromana was enlarged and partly rebuilt by Gerald
and in the possession of his descendants it has remained for seven
centuries. Though uniformly loyal to the English power the
Dromana Fitzgeralds became in habit and living as Irish as the
Irish ; for instance, Sir Gerald Fitzgerald, Lord of the Decies
(temp. Henry VIII.), could not speak a word of English. Some
reservations in the grant of Decies to the house of Dromana led to
trouble, as in that stormy age they were well calculated to do ; in
1565 the head of the Desmond clan (Gerald, 15th Earl) claimed
rights of chieftainship over Decies. Practical insistence on this
claim led to that bloody skirmish dignified by the title of Battle of
Affane. (b) John Fitzgerald, Lord of Decies, at his death, in 1664,
left as his heiress an only child, Catherine, a minor, who married
Edward Villiers, eldest son of Viscount Grandison. The eldest son
again of this union was John Villiers, created Earl of Grandison in
1721. John’s sister, Harriet, became mother of William Pitt, the

 

(b) See antea, under Affane townland.
105

Great Earl of Chatham. Earl Grandison was succeeded in title by
his grandson, George, who gambled away much of his fine patrimony.
Earl George left no male heir ; his only daughter, Gertrude,
married Lord Henry Stuart, son of the Marquis of Bute—hence
the present double name of the Decies family, Villiers-Stuart.
Colonel Villiers-Stuart, son of the above-named Lord Henry, was
the popular candidate in the famous and still remembered election
of 1826, when the county from Blackwater to the Suir rang
with the refrain: “ Stuart for ever and down with the Mail —
man.” Till recently the year mentioned was universally known
in Waterford as—“ The Year of Stuart’s Election,” and indeed it
is frequently referred to under that title to the present day. One
of O’Connell’s monster meetings was held on Dromana Hill..
Area, 759 acres.

$.DD. (a) ‘ The Bastile,” locally corrupted to “ Back Stile”;
an eminence close to Dromana Castle, and adapted for defence of
latter.

(b) Cappaig 4 Teampdin ; meaning doubtful ; Teampdn is,
ordinarily, “ trouble.”’ Here it seems to signify a standing stone. (c)
The word occurs twice in Waterford place-names. The present
name has a respectable antiquity, for we find it in an answer filed
by Villiers, May, 1684.

(c) Deapna an Piaro— Gap of the Deer”; a point on the
hill-top at the south boundary of the townland.

acres.

S.D. port Starp— Green Embankment (or ‘ Landing Place’)”;

place name is better known locally than the townland name.
‘ Portglass ”’ appears in a lease of 1738 from the Earl of Cork to
Christopher Musgrove.

Mount Rivers; modern (barbarous) name ; no Irish equivalent.
Mount Rivers was formerly portion of Affane (Hunter), according

361 acres.

“ Moneroe” (Inq. Jas. 1.).

S.DD. (a) Scaipt na Cipee—' Shrubbery of the (Heath) Hen.”

S.DD. (a) Barnanagarlogh (O.M.), Deapna na nSdptac—
“Gap of the Children”; a spot where unbaptised infants, &c.,
were interred. The word Deapna in place names has a wider
extension than “gap”; the exact meaning it is difficult to fix.

(vb) “ The Yard” (corruption of ‘ Guard”), at north side of
the townland ; it was occupied by a company of soldiers in 1691.

(c) Steann Siottéin — “ Siolan’s Glen,” (“ Glen of the
Dripping ”—O’D.).

Ballylaneen Parish.

LyinG in the very heart of Power’s County this parish is still
largely Irish speaking. Hence there is ample opportunity of
submitting its place names to that best of all tests—native
pronunciation. The church and parish were dependencies on
the Abbey of Mothel. For an account of the ecclesiastical
remains see Waterford Archeological F ournal, Vol. II., pp. 200 &c.
In the ancient graveyard rest the remains of the Irish poet
Timothy (Sso0atac) O'Sullivan.

traceable on the mainland. The English speaking natives call
the place “ Dane’s Island,” from their tendency to attribute all

SEAFIELD, Sapyidn na Fionnoige — ‘Grove of the Carrion

probably because of the bird’s inconvenient predatory habits.
Traceable in a field at south boundary of townland, close by
Glenanearbail road, are the foundations (about 20 yards by 16)
of Philip Barron’s Irish College. Area, 341 acres.

Clonea Parish.

Tuts Parish is generally styled Na nOéipesc (‘Of the Decies ”’)
to distinguish it from Clonea—pPaorpac (“ Power’s”), the popular
modern name of Mothel Parish. Though maritime the present
parish has comparatively few cliff, or sea-coast, names ; this is
probably due to the character. of its shore line—low, clayey, and
comparatively featureless. The parish is of small extent and,
the geological formation being limestone, the soil is generally rich—
a fact which is not without its effect on the preservation of Irish
names. As a rule the better the soil, the more foreign importation
there has been, with results unfavourable to the survival of
original names. For a description of the church ruins, &c., see
Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological $ournal, Vol. III. p. 3.

BALLAGHAVORRAGA, Dealac a Mapsard — “ Pass of the

S.D. Cittin; the site of an early church on the farm of John
McGrath (north side of old road which ran inland from the sea.)

KILBEG, Citt Deas ; apparently ie. “ Little Church.” As
however there is no trace or tradition whatever of a church, and
as latter, if it had ever existed, could hardly have been completely
obliterated, I am inclined to suspect the pronunciation to be a
corruption of, say, Coitt Deas. Area, 116 acres.

S.DD. (a) Toberavaw (O.M.), Tovap 4 DArOte—" Well of the

somebody therein.

Colligan Parish.

THE Parish name is, of course, non-ecclesiastical, and is borrowed,
in the usual way, from the townland on which the ancient
church stood. From the parish in turn is named the well
known Colligan River, which forms its eastern boundary. The
parish is small, but, being remote and mountainous, it furnishes a
fair proportion of interesting names. For a description of the
ecclesiastical remains see Yournal of the Waterford and S.E.

Dungarvan Parish.

A STRIKING characteristic of this parish is the diminutive size
of its townlands. These generally consist of less than fifty
acres, and many contain three or four acres only. It is probable
that the series of small parallelogram-shaped townlands to the
north-east of the town are sub-divisions of original Burgery lands.
Owing to the multiplicity of townlands, particularly in the Burgery
district, sub-denominations are comparatively few. Another curious
feature is a number of ‘‘staings,” or long and very narrow fields and
townlands. This word staing is of Germanic origin, and is used to
designate a measure (pole or perch) of land. Its use however in
this parish is peculiar; it is applied to the long very narrow fields
and townlands alluded to, irrespective of their area. Physical
features, of course, directly affect the place-names of a parish;
here is mainly a rich limestone plain cut into three sections by the
Colligan and Bricky rivers. There are many quarries and caves,
but few outcrops of the underlying rocks. A range of high hill —
117

bounds the parish on the north, while a skirt of mountain forms its
southern boundary. For a detailed description of the ancient
ruined church of the parish see Waterford Archeological Fournal,
Vol. III., p. 216.

TOWNLANDS.

ABBEYSIDE, Otn na Matniptpeac— Fort of the Monastery.”
The name is derived partly from the now ruined keep, or rather
from the earthen dun that preceded it, and partly from the ancient
Augustinian Friary founded here in 1295 by the ancestor of the
Earls of Desmond. The local McGraths and O’Briens were
generous benefactors of this house. Some remains of the monastic
church survive, attached to the modern church of Abbeyside, and
a considerable portion—including the tower and west entrance
with fine stone ribbed work—is incorporated in the latter. Close
by is a fine castle of the McGraths fast tottering to disappearance.
Area, 177 acres.

BALLINROAD, Daite an R610—"“ Homestead of the Road.”

Irish word. Area, 66 acres.

BALLINURE, Datte an lubaip— Homestead of the Yew.”
Area, 58 acres.
118

BaLLycoE UDaite C6; meaning unknown ; perhaps Daite

stead.” This family name is now unknown locally. Area (in four
divisions), gIo acres.

S.DD. (a) Daite na mbDappac— The Barrys’ Homestead.”

(c) Dotaipin na SCopp—" Little Road of the Corpses”; a
name often given to a road by which funerals generally approach
an ancient cemetery.

out in the bay—towards Ring.

Inland :—(iz) Daite an Sipro—" Homestead of the Height.”

(0) Daite an Clampaip— Homestead of the Dispute (or
Quarrel).” This last is probably an old townland name. It is, at any

 

rate, regarded locally as designating an independent division. One
local authority stated that it was D. an Campa formerly.

like last, an old townland name.

which stands the Coastguard Station.

(t) Loé 4 Tpuim—" Elder Tree Pond.”

BALLYNALAHESSERY, UDaite na Leitreippige—" Homestead of
the Half-Plowland.” Seipeapisa group of six persons, from which

a second guided and drove the team, a third followed the plough
and pressed down with his foot the newly-turned sod, the fourth
with a forked stick (sabatos) pressed the beam of the plough so
that the shoe entered the earth, the fifth with hammer, wedges,
&c., attended to the mechanism of the plough, while the sixth
superintended the whole. (¢) Later on the term Seippesc came to
be applied to any team—even of two horses. (/) Area, 224 acres.

121

BurGeEry, Durogerse ; the name is not Irish, but is borrowed
from the English—burgess. This townland was apparently the
property of the burgesses of Dungarvan as early as the roth year
of Edward I. “The Burgesses of the vill of Dungarvan render
by the year for their Burgages £13 17 4.” (Inq. Clonmel). Area
(in two divisions), 75 acres.

CARROWCASHLANE, Ceatpama 4 Caipledsin— Castle Quarter.”
Area, 56 acres.

CLaSHMALEA, CLaip Matléit—" Malea’s Trench.” The present
name is practically now unknown in Waterford. Area, 2 acres.

CLONANAGH, Cluain na n@sc— Meadow of the Horses.”
Area, Io acres.

There is an insignificant fragment of an ancient castle. Area, 198

acres.

acres. e

CROUGHTANAUL, Cpocta an fait—“ Croft of the Hedge.”
This, with the two adjoining small townlands of Shanakill and
Two-mile Bridge, is styled “ Killingross alias Shanakill, pt. of
Killingford,” on a map in the possession of the Christian Brothers,
Dungarvan. Area (in two divisions), 12 acres.

CRUSSERA, Cporpaipe— Cross Road,” Area, 51 acres.

CURRANE, &n C(op)pdn; apparently “ The Reaping Hook,”
but in reality ‘‘ Pointed Hill. Area, 12 acres.

CURRAHEENARIS, Cupyyucin Apup— Little Swamp of (beside)

ravine through which flows a stream forming the western boundary
of the townland. Area, 46 acres.

(b) Dotaipin 6 Muttinn— Little Road of the Mill”; this is
the road running N.W.W. to Tournore.

DUNGARVAN, Otin Sapbéin—" Garvan’s Fort.” Garvan was a
common personal name in Celtic times, Pagan and Christian. It
may be, in the present instance, the name of a saint; but, more
probably, from his connection with a ‘otin, Garvan was a warrior
or chieftain. The martyrologies enumerate five saints of the name,
but none of them is mentioned in connection with the Decies.
Some local speakers sound the first part of the place name as if it
was ‘dormn, but the otin sound is justas common. The 16th and
17th century pronunciation of otin in the Decies was dhown. (g)
Moreover the Four Masters invariably write the name *Otin
Saptb4in, as above. (2) Before erection of the present bridge
communication with Abbeyside was maintained by a roadway
through a ford somewhat west of the causeway. Area, 95 acres.

~ §.DD. (a) “Buttery”; the eastern portion was formerly
Dotan 4 Mapsaro—" Market Road.” The present name, it is
supposed, arose from the fact that dairy produce was the com-
modity chiefly sold here. More probably, however, it is the
Anglicisation of Détap Usccapac— Upper Road,” an old name
for this whole street.

(b) ‘The Milk Market”; now occupied by a house and garden,
at end of Parsley or Crimmins’ Lane.

(c) ‘‘ Fair Green”; west portion of Buttery, near its junction
with “ Fair Lane.” It was so called in 1760.

of Dunmore (Downmore), proved 1671. Compare also Fiddown &c.
(i) A.F.M., 1574, 1598, 1599.
123 |

(d) Détainin na Tpdga— Little Road of (to) the Strand.”

(e) ‘Chapel Lane.” The present ‘ Chapel Lane” is of
modern formation. The former possessor of the name is now
Rice’s Street, or Youghal Road; this led to the old church on site
of the Christian Brothers’ present residence.

(7) ‘‘ Wolfe Tone Street.”

(g) MblLoipc (UBaLt-gopt) Anna— Anne’s Orchard”; the
name (in 1760) of the space to south of the Buttery, at present

present new cemetery with the field to south.

(l) “ Fox’s Lane”; now Galway’s Lane.

(m) “ Kennedy’s Lane”; now Thomson’s Lane.

(x) “ Dead Walk”; this is a very modern name. In old maps
the road now so called is marked ‘“ Buttery.”

(0) Blackpool, Dotap 16¢tapac— “ Lower Road”; compare
Buttery, above.

Catholic Church and Gomes

(q) Psipic 4 Mapgaro0— Market Field”; included like last in
present Catholic Church grounds.

(r) “ Bull Ring a this occupied the open space in the street
fronting the present Catholic Church. Here, even within the
memory of persons still living, bull-baiting took place three or four
times a year.

(s) ‘‘ Strameen Lane” (now commonly Stramey, and Scramey’s,
Lane), Lana Stpaimin; origin uncertain.

of the townland is in the adjoining parish of Kilrush. Area, 26
acres. a

S.DD. (a) St. Gehan’s Well (O.M.), Tovap O14-hdome—
“ Friday Well.” This is situated at the bottom of a lawn adjoining
Glendine House. The well was formerly in high repute, and
“rounds ”’ are still made here, especially on Fridays and Sundays.
It is made up of two circular basins, about Io feet apart, and each
about 5 feet in diameter; the more easterly of these is accounted
the “real” well.

(6) Glendine (O.M.), Steann Ooimin— Deep Glen.”

JOULTERSPARK, Pdipce 4 lulcasp— “ Fishmonger’s Field.”
Folters is the local name tor hawkers who carry inland the fish
landed at Dungarvan. The place was formerly a commonage on
which fish retailers, travelling tinkers, &c., encamped; it constitutes
at present the smallest townland in the county. Area, I acre.

KILLONGFORD, Citt 4 Longpuipc— Church of the Encamp-
ment.” The citt was close to the stream on the north side of the
townland of Shankill, itself evidently a former sub-division of
Killongford. A large “bullan” of limestone was moved from the
citt site many years since, and may now be seen in the Catholic
Cemetery, Dungarvan. Area, 209 acres.

S.DD. (a) Seana Cuipc— Old Mansion”; it was erected by

(c) Ceatparha CTampron.— “ Thompson’s (or Samson’s)
Quarter.”
125

(d) Sopc Ourde—" Yellow Garden.”

KILLosscraGH, Citt Lappac — “ Lasser’s Church.” The
Martyrology of Donegal enumerates fourteen saints of the name

church was, however, close to (west end) of Morrissey’s farmyard,
as marked on O.M. Area, 119 acres.

used for interments. There is a second townland and early church
site of the name, a couple, or three, miles further to the east. Area_
(in two divisions), 155 acres.

S.DD. (a) Dotaipin na Horrys; probably called from a family
known as Horry or Harry.

(b) An Steans— The Staing.”

(c) An Cpampdan — “The River Inlet.” Rev. P. Dineen
(‘Irish-English Dictionary”) seems to have some doubt that the
Irish word has the sense here given; it certainly has, as far at any
rate, as Waterford usage is concerned.

(d) Cabsp Seagain O41610—" John (Son) of David’s Causeway” ;
a crossing place over the pill to the north of the bridge.

Kitmurry, Citl Muipe—“ St. Muire’s Church.” Site of the

land is the site of an ancient castle. Area, 97 acres.

NEwrTown, Daite Nuad—Idem. Area, 96 acres.

PARKATLUGGERA, PAific 4 TSLuZsipe— Swallow Hole Field.”

the left bank of a little stream falling into the Colligan is the
traditional site of an early burial ground. An old road crossed the

Willows.” Area, 34 acres.

SHANDON, Sean Otin— ‘“ Old Fort”; no remains of the

Fews Parish.
THE ancient church of Fews, or rather its site—for no remains of
the church survive—will be found described in the Journal of the
Waterford and S.E. of Ireland Archeological Society, Vol. I1I., p. 72.
The name Fews is unecclesiastical in origin; it is applied to the
parish, but to no particular townland, and, as locally pronounced,
it is obviously incorrect, scil:—papoipte an Mrde, for Papoirce
na bfid0—" Parish of the Woods.” Fews is, by the way, singularly
bare of trees at the present day. Names derived from timber and
shrubbery abound in this neighbourhood indicating the former
presence here of extensive forests; compare Kilmacthomas,
Shanakill, Graigearush, &c. The region was probably portion of
the Forest of Decies alluded to in the Martyrology of Aenghus,
March 26th. The people of this parish were noted, a hundred years

much wider extension, though, than last) is Steann 04 Maittrde.

Kilbarrymaiden Parish.

CONSEQUENT on the maritime character of this Parish, cliff and sea-
shore names are numerous. Otherwise, from our present point of
view, the district embraced affords nothing of special interest.
The name of the Parish, derived, in the usual way, from the town-
land on which stood the ancient parochial church, is of course
ecclesiastical in origin. For a detailed description of the ancient
church, &c., see Waterford Archeological Fournal, Vol. I1., p. 195.

Kilgobinet Parish.

SECLUDED, extensive, mountainous and Irish-speaking, this parish
is peculiarly favourable to place-name preservation. Local
denominations of all kinds are accordingly both numerous and
interesting. There is one river—the Colligan, and—high up on
the mountain, at the N.E. angle of the parish,—a couple of small
lakes. Besides the Church from which the parish is named there
are sites of, at least, three others. For account of Kilgobinet
Church see Waterford, Archeological Fournal, Vol. III. p. 73 and also
Marcus Keane’s ‘Towers and Temples of Ancient Ireland,” p. 455.
St. Gobinet is the well known patroness of Ballyvourney, Co. Cork;
she is also honoured in Inisheer, Aran Islands, where there is
a primitive church bearing her name. Sobn4c is locally anglicised
Abigal, Abina and Abby (2).

is a well known pass, for pedestrians only, over the Comeragh

related in the life of St. Declan (). Declan was invited to dinner by a
pagan, Dercan by name, who, in hatred of the Christian name, had
a dog, cooked to simulate mutton, placed. before the saint. The
saint however, by supernatural power, detected the attempted
imposition, and—local tradition (but not the “ Life”’) adds—as soon
as he made the Sign of the Cross over the dish, the dog, restored
to life, leaped off the table, and, dashing through the open door,
fled over this gap which has ever since borne his name.

Kilmolash Parish.

Tuis is a parish of small size, lying on both sides of the Finisk
River a little above the junction of the latter with the Blackwater.
The ancient church—for a description of which see Waterford
Archeological ¥Fournal, Vol. IV. p. 89 &c.—stands close to the river,
on its south bank. The land is mostly arable—some of it very fertile—
a class of country not favourable to the preservation or multiplica-
tion of ancient names. As a consequence the local nomenclature
possesses little special interest beyond that derived from the battle
of Affane which was fought partly within the parish. A consider-
able portion of the parish lies within the Barony of Decies Within,
which see.

of one of first Norman castles erected in Ireland. This particular
stronghold is alleged to date from the time of King John; its high
walls enclosed a courtyard of half an acre and were defended at

was protected by a drawbridge. The place is frequently referred

Kilrossanty Parish.

KILROSSANTy, a parish of large extent, takes its name from the
townland on which the ancient church stands, or rather the town-
land gets its name from the church and the parish is called from both.
Mountainous, secluded, and Irish-speaking, the region preserves
an unusually large number of interesting names. Three consider-
able rivers—the Dalligan, Mahon and Tay have their origin in the
parish, but, for reasons already alluded to, no attempt is made to
explain their names. One of them, Tay, is clearly the same
in origin as Tay, Tees, &c., of Great Britain. The parish abounds in
“Coums” or mountain hollows. As it has been found rather difficult
to assign the mountain names to their respective townlands, a
considerable number of the former are furnished under the separate
general heading—Comeragh Mountains. This last name is here
used, by the way, to designate the whole line of mountain within
the parish, and the mountain sub-denominations are roughly
arranged with regard to their relative positions from south to north.
For a description of the ancient church &c. see Waterford
Archeological Fournal, Vol. III., pp. 6, &c.

(c) Dotaipin 4 Capaitt Caoic—* Little Road of the Blind
Horse.” This name is applied to various disjoined lengths of a
trench which are remains of an primitive roadway leading
hence to the coast at Stradbally. A legend accounting for the
name is to the effect that an ancient resident of Cutteen owned
an aged horse which, though blind, was so sagacious that, with
laden panniers of seaweed on his back, he would, guideless, make
his way from Stradbally Cove to his owner’s home. On one
occasion the panniers fell into the ford since called At Thoreaip
(“Seaweed Ford”). Compare old road of same name under
Carricklong, Drumcannon Par., &c. These horse, cow and other
animal legends demand scientific investigation.

generally means a wolf. At the summit of the gap is a standing
pillar-stone, 8’ x 4' x 1', and close by are two further similar
pillars prostrated. Again, a few yards to south of the pillars, and
still on the summit, stands a roughly square enclosure of dry stone
(Catsip type). The space enclosed is about ten yards square and

8.D. Cittin, an early church site with circular enclosure of
earth. Close by are a couple of large pillar stones ogham-inscribed.

GLENDALLIGAN, Steann Oeatsain— Dealgain’s (?) Glen.”
The second word is doubtful; it seems to be a personal name—
-a derivative apparently from vests, a thorn. Portion of the
townland is in a neighbouring parish. Area, 1,304 acres.

S.DD. (a) Deppa Oeastsgain— Dealgain’s Height,” where

KILCOMERAGH, Citt 4 Comagiatg— The Church of Comeragh.”
Here stood a smaller castle of the Desmonds. There is also a citt
or early church site. Area, 124 acres.

KILRossANTY, Cilt Ropants — “ St. Rosanta’s (Roxentius’)
Church”’(?) The foregoing (queried) interpretation is Rev. Dr.
Henebry’s. O’D. however supposes the second word to be a deriva-
tive from Rop, ‘‘a wood.” Within the graveyard is the execrated tomb
of Valentine Wallis, popularly regarded with dread, while immediately
without the sacred precincts are three holy wells—Tobap ora,
Tobsp Muipe and Tovasn Opigoe. Wallis (of the tomb) was an
Augustinian friar of the Penal days, who, to retain some family
estate (Ballykeeroge, Ballynevoige, &c.) conformed to the Established
Church. Owing to the peculiar transformation of his name it has been
extremely difficult to trace Wallis’ origin, &c. His real name how-
ever appears to have been Walsh, and it looks as if the Walshes of the
Piltown (West Waterford) branch, to which he belonged, anglicised,
or rather modernised, the name to Wallis. The subject of the
present remarks was evidently a connection (probably a descendant
or representative) of the celebrated Sir Nicholas Walsh, Chief
Justice of the Common Pleas and Speaker of the Irish Parliament,
who died in 1615. Area, 358 acres.

(d) Dotaipin 4 Paca—* Little Road of the Pooka.”

LEMYBRIEN, Lé1m Ui Opisin—“O’Brien’s Leap.” Léim
in topography is often applied to the gush of a stream through a
narrow passage between two rocks. Popular story (Folk-
Etymology) accounts for the name thus:—O’Brien of Comeragh
(Thomond stock), “rising” for a hop, step and jump, from some
point of the mountain above, reached, at his first landing, a place
in Kilrossanty where, for conviction of the incredulous, the imprint
of his heels may still be seen in a stone; thence in the second
stride (the “step ”’) he carried himself to the spot in the present
townland where marks similar to those in Kilrossanty are pointed
out. Whither the “jump” carried him the writer did not enquire.
Part of the present townland is in Stradbally Parish. Area, 537 acres.

The following additional sub-denominations occur along the
mountain side—all within the parish. As it was found difficult to

mountain point.

Dedpna heipse—" Gap of the Stream Cut Channel.”

Caran Sapo— Rough Path.”

Leat mMom— (The) Half Bog.”

was murdered and buried here.

Ctaip 4 Tuastp—" Trench of the Cattle Field.”

Kilrush Parish.

ALTHOUGH the parish contains a sufficiently large number of town-
lands it is in reality but of small extent—its townlands, like those of
Dungarvan, being diminutive. For a description of the Church
remains &c. see Waterford Archaological Fournal, Vol. IV., p. 222.
In the graveyard which surrounds the ruined church is a stone
coffin standing on one end after the manner of a tombstone. The
local names are perhaps of less than average interest.

shaped hills, which because of their resemblance and contiguity are
grouped together in local reference. For a description of the

region Irish-speaking the list of sub-denominations collected is by
no means large.

Monksland Parish.

THIs was a dependency of the Cistercian’ Abbey of Inislaunaght
(“ De Surio”’), near Clonmel, to which a grant of some lands in

M
162

the parish was made by King John. It is probable that an early
Celtic church preceded the Cistercian establishment. At any rate
the more ancient name is lost—though the present name (feaann
na Mansac— Farm of the Monks”), with an antiquity of seven
hundred years behind it, has little reason to complain of modernity.
The parish is of small extent, and interesting on other grounds
and from another standpoint than ours, scil:—its extensive copper
mines and works. A. brief description of the ecclesiastical
remains &c. will be found in the so frequently quoted Waterford
Archeological F ournal—Vol. I1., pp. 198 &c.

Cecils (?).” Area, 334 acres.

of copper unearthed in the vicinity.

Horse”; this is the second time so far that we have met this

Rossmire Parish.

THE name, which the parish does not share with a townland, is,
of course, non-ecclesiastical in origin; it signifies “ Moire’s Wood
164

(or Shrubbery)” — Ror Magaip. Magin has not been, and
probably never will be, identified. The name is written Ross-
meere in the D.S.M. For further account of the church &c.
see Waterford Archeological Fournal, Vol. IlI., p.72. The popular
name of the church is not Rossmire but Killcool (Citt Cat or

Seskinane Parish.

THE name signifies ‘ Little Sedgy Moor,” and is written
Seskynnane in an Inquisition of Jas. I. About two-thirds of the
parish are in this barony; the remainder belongs to Glenaheiry.
The Parish, which is Irish-speaking and of great extent, is an
elevated plateau. Bog and mountain names abound, while of
other names that are generally interesting there is a fair pro-
portion. The name Stat 5Cuas has come in recent times to be
applied to Seskinane, but the former is a misnomer, as it is quite
clear, both from the Irish lives of saints and from the annals,
that Slieve Gua is the ancient name of the whole Knockmaeldown
mountain range and not of its any particular portion. Donnchadh
Ruadh spent a considerable portion (by no means the most
exemplary part) of his life in this parish, and here too flourished,
at the same time, the local poets, Thomas O’Moran and Maire
Ni Dhonogain (u), still honoured in popular memory. The ruined
church near the centre of the parish is extremely interesting,
not indeed architecturally, but from the fact that many of its
door and window lintels are ogham inscribed. For a detailed
account of the church &c. see Waterford Archaeological Fournal,
Vol. IV., p. 83. Within the parish are the identified sites of at
least four further early churches. A number of the principal
townland names of the locality, with the characteristics of each
place, are strung together in the following rhyme, which is

abstract from bléan. Muine na Crce is, according to one

church was located by east side of the public road, close to the
south boundary of the townland. Area, 582 acres.

Knocxpoy, Cnoc Durde — “ Yellow Hill”; from the pro-
nounced colour of the blossoming furze. The fair of Knockboy
171

was held on September 8th, a fact which probably enables us to fix
the patron of the parish. Area, 752 acres.

“ Knockboye ” (Inq. Jas. I.).

S.DD. (a) Toberatemple (O.M.), Tobap 4 Teampuitt— The
Church Well.”

(d) Lalisheen (O.M.), Leat Upin—" Little Half Lios.”

(e) Bittern’s Well (O.M.), Tobap a Séao4in, apparently

Ordnance authorities. The Bittern, it may be added, is extremely
rare in Ireland.

the-Iron Trench.”

(g) Aughnalisheen, St na Lipin— Ford of the Little Lioses.”

REANADAMPAUN, Re1d n4 0Ceampén— Mountain Plain of the
Round Boulders.” ‘The Tampauns” are five great standing stones,
which seem to be portion of a dismantled cromlech; they are now in-
corporated in a fence. Cian “na Mionn Oip” (of the golden
diadems), from whom Kilkeany is named, was a Druid and possessed
of a famous plat opiaordesccs or “ Rod of Enchantment.” Ona
certain day three brothers, wayfarers, with their mother whom they
172

carried on their shoulders, called at the Druid’s house seeking hospi-
tality. The master happened to be from home, but a maid, who was
kneading bread for dinner, requested them to await Cian’s return.
The strangers, not liking the slovenly appearance of the girl and
the manner in which she manipulated the dough, refused to stay.
When Cian returned for dinner and heard the story he flew into a
rage that his hospitality should be spurned, and seizing his magic
wand, he started in pursuit of the travellers. He overtook them on the
mountain plain, where, with a touch of his druidic s/at, he changed
them and their two dogs into these five pillar stones. Two large
pillars (the two travellers) support a third (the mother); two smaller
pillars are the petrified wolf dogs. Area, 1,003 acres.

Wine.” Area, 318 acres.

S.D. Glenagow, Steann 4 Saba— The Smith’s Glen.”

Stradbally Parish. -

Tuis is a maritime and Irish-speaking parish of great extent. Its
place names are consequently both numerous and interesting.
There are many cliff names, but the general nomenclature is of
very mixed character. The parish name itself comes from the
townland on which the church stood. For information as to the
church remains, &c., see Waterford Archeological Fournal, Vol. IL.,
pp. 201, &c.

(c) Entrenchment (O.M.). This is of the usual character—a
line of earthwork across the neck of a rather low headland. In
the present instance the bank of earth is double, but the space
enclosed is much contracted owing to subsidence of the cliff. The
enclosure does not perhaps at present measure more than } acre.
The fosse between the double wall of earth is about thirty yards
long by fifteen feet wide and a yard or so in depth. Portion of mS
embankment still stands about five yards in height.

(a) Cuainin Oonnés1do—" Denis’ Little Harbour.”

till a false oath was sworn by it. Thereupon it split asunder
exclaiming with a human-like voice:—“ 1p peaptb i an fifinne.”

DRUMLOHAN, Optom Loédsin—Chaff Ridge.” Locdn may
however be a personal name. Here is a famous ogham cave ina

stone of unusual size. The bullan, generally water-filled, is
resorted to as a Holy Well. Area, 296 acres.

-Fox’s CasTLE, Caipledn na Sionnaé—" Foxes’ (personal name)

S.DD. (a2) Date na Muc—“ Village of the Pigs.”
(b) Tobap O04 na SCprann—" David of the Trees’ Well.”

Whitechurch Parish.

THE name in Irish is Teamputt Seat, which is equivalent in
meaning to the official English name. The whiteness was
probably physical—the result of whitewashing, or of decoration
with glistening quartz; it may of course have been merely
_ figurative—in allusion to the fame of the church &c. Greater
portion of the parish, which is very extensive, is a rich lime-
stone plain. Irish is still generally understood, nevertheless
sub-denominations are neither very numerous nor particularly
interesting. A fair was formerly held at Whitechurch on 5th
August; it however appears to have been a Charter Fair, For
179

Archeological Fournal, Vol. 1V., p. 88.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLINTAYLOR, UDatle an TéiUiGpa— The Tailor’s Home-

One old man, a native, said—Capin Duittin. It is locally believed
that this diminutive townland was granted to a Cromwellian trooper,

(Folks’ Etymology) obviously invented to fit the name. Area,
13 acres.

S.D. Cappars tuipip— Maurice’s Rock”; a limestone bluff
or outcrop beneath which is an extensive cave explored by
Mr. Ussher and described in various communications to the Royal

BARONY OF GAULTIER.

GAULTIER (Saitt-cip— Dane country” or ‘“ Foreigners’ land”)
was so called from the occupation of the district by a non-Celtic
race. The term Satt was, at one period of our history,
synonymous with “ Dane” or “ Norwegian” and at another with
“Englishman.” In modern usage the word is largely restricted to
the latter sense, while “Loé¢tannac” is applied to the Dane of
history. It is wonderful, by the way, how little the Dane has left
his impress on the land names of the Barony he made his own.
Gaultier, as a local denomination, dates approximately from the
expulsion of the Ostmen of Waterford from the city on the arrival
of the English. The first care of the new-comers was to hang
Reginald, ruler of Waterford, for having placed iron chains across
the river to bar the progress of the invading fleet, and their
second—to drive out the Danish inhabitants, one Gerald
McGilmore alone excepted. A particular district outside the
walls was assigned the dispossessed citizens—whence the
“Cantred of the Danes” of later times, and the “ Osmanstown
of Waterford” built in 1384, according to a plea-roll of
Edward I.

Ballygunner Parish.

THE parish takes its name from Ballygunner townland on which
the Church (now in ruins) stood. This church, it is evident from
Theiner, (a) was originally dedicated to a St. Mochorog, Confessor,
whom we may safely regard as its founder. Mochorog, like many
of the early church founders of our eastern and south-eastern sea-
board, appears to have been a Briton, and son of Branchan, a
British prince. At any rate such was the reputed nationality and
parentage of the Saint Mochorog, who is honoured at Delgany,
Co. Wicklow. (b) This Mochorog of Delgany is stated to have

assisted St. Kevin when the latter lay dying. In post-invasion
times a change of patrons was somehow effected in our Church,
for the survival of the ancient “ pattern” on September 8th is
proof that at the Reformation period the Blessed Virgin was
titular. For description of the ruined church and its graveyard
see Journal of R.S.A.L., Vol. I., 5th Series, p. 481. In the Down
Survey Map the parish is named Ballygunner Temple and the
church appears to have been in repair at the date of the survey.
Amongst the crops grown in the parish in 1846 are mentioned
peas, beans, and flax. (c)

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYGUNNER (in three parts:—B. More, B. Castle, and
B. Temple), Daite tic Sonam (0. Mop,” “0. 6 Caiptedin,”
and “0. a Teampuit,” respectively)—“ Town (or Homestead) of
Gonar’s Son.” This is one of our few land names which com-
memorate Danish occupation. There are on the townland one,
now practically demolished, circular lios of large size (O.M.)
with a stone-lined. subterranean chamber and one small, partly
ruined cromlech (O.M.).  Ballygunnertemple is returned in
the Down Survey as the property of Lord Powre, and the
other two divisions of the townland as belonging to Sir Robert
Walsh, Irish Papist. The Cromwellians liked good measure; .
they reckoned the total area of the three divisions (including
seven acres of glebe on Ballygunner Castle) at 649 acres. This,
as a matter of fact, was little more than half the real acreage.
‘James Walshe (father, or grandfather, presumably, of the Sir
Robert Walsh of Petty’s Survey) of Gonnestown” appears as a
juror in an Inquisition of Elizabeth. (d) The castle (modernised)
of the Walshes is still in use as the residence of John Power,
farmer. Area (in three divisions), 1,212 acres.

Sub-denominations—(a) Cuppac Sopm— Blue Bog (or
Marsh),” a small sub-division; the name is Anglicised—“ Foxy
Bog.” The terms for “bog” or “marsh” are very numerous in
Irish and of extremely frequent occurrence in place names. They

187

are however, by no means, synonyms and their different shades of
meaning are well understood. min, for instance, is a turf bog,—
Cuppac, a swampy patch,—Tonn, a quaking bog,—Speattac, a
heavy, miry place,—&c., &c.

(6) Date na Saoite—“ Homestead of the Wind,” from its
exposed position; a well-known sub-division, regarded locally as
practically a separate townland.

(c) Citt Bywocain—" Brican’s Church”; site (nearly forgotten)
of a primitive church on Daite na Saoite. There are no remains,
but the exact site has been identified, scil:—immediately to N.E.
of surveyor’s mark 163, on Ordnance Sheet (six-inch) No. 18.

(d) Soilacdn—Meaning uncertain; probably derivative from
dot, lime; a large sub-division formerly well known by this name.

(e) An Steibin—" The Little Mountain,” a sub-division of 25
acres.

(f) Cappaisgin Seat—“ Little White Rock,” on B. Castle.

BALLYMACLODE, Daite mic Leoo— McLeod’s Homestead.”
On the townland is a comparatively late (16th or 17th century)
castle in ruins. This was probably the homestead of the settler
from whom the place derives its name. Ballymaclode, like Bally-
gunner Temple, was in the possession of Lord Power at the
date of the Cromwellian confiscation. Area, 374 acres.

“Bally McClode” (A.S.E.); ‘ Ballemaclode” (Inquisition,
lemp. Eliz.) ,

S.D.  Glennacruther (O.M.), Steann a Cyrotaipe — “ The
Harper’s Glen.” Of the ancient master of Irish melody no history
or tradition whatever survives.

CALLAGHAN, Cealtacdén—Meaning doubtful ; apparently
“Little Place Belonging to a Church”; or perhaps (and less
probably) the name is an Irish diminutive of the old English
world callow—therefore “ Little Wet Place.” ‘‘ Callow” is still
commonly used in the Queen’s County to denote wettish land
which is often submerged in winter and grows long coarse grass
in summer. The present townland contains a large area of bog
and was mainly noted a century ago for its output of peat,
188

hence the epithet—(Ceattacan) “na Luaite durde.” O’Donovan
states (ec) that the place name here is the personal name
Callaghan. Elsewhere (f) he notes that in Co. Roscommon the
word calad designates a meadow, strath, or holm by the margin
of a river; the first syllable, however, in the present instance,
is pronounced slender—v.e., ceatt. Callahane was in the
possession of John Lee, Irish Papist, previous to Cromwell’s
confiscation, and the Patent and Close Rolls of Chancery enable
us to trace. portion of its previous history. (g) The authority
quoted recites the following alienations of the lands previous to
that date. (1) James Power of Callaghane to Patrick Coppinger
and Richard Meaghe (Meade). (2) Said Coppinger and Meaghe
and William, son of afore-mentioned James Power, to William
Dobbyn, his heirs, &c. (3) Said William Dobbyn and William
Power to John (son of James) Sherlock and William Walsh.
Area, 447 acres.

* Callahane,”’ (Down Survey).

KxockBoy, Cnoc Ourde, ‘ Yellow Hill,” from the colour of
the blossoming furze. The furze has diappeared long since, and
well tilled fields occupy its place. Area, 228 acres.

S.D. Tobernacnockaun (O.M.), Tobap 4 Cnocdin, “ Well of
the Little Hill,” near N.E. extremity of the townland.

Ballynakill Parish.

THE ancient church of the parish stood about 60 yards to the
S.W. of the present Ballinakill House. Some insignificant remains
of the church are visible in the stable yard of the house in question,
and part of the ancient cemetery, in which a few families retain
rights of burial, is surrounded by an enclosing wall. A consider-
able portion of the church buildings survived till about a hundred
years since.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYNAKILL, Dsile na Citte— Homestead of the Church.”
Area, 358 acres.

“ Ballem’Kill” (Visitation Book, T.C.D., E. 3. 14).

S.DD. (a) ‘“ Weaver’s Lane ’—abutting on Waterford—
Dunmore road at W. end of Power’s Nursery ; the name is now
almost forgotten.

(6) “Cedtpamad an Murttinn”— Mill Quarter,” extending
to some twenty or thirty acres.

(c) An Tuaipin—" The Little Bawn,” a field close to the

 

river.

Tus and its diminutive, as in present case, are of very
frequent occurrence in place names throughout Waterford. They
occur most frequently in mountain districts. Dictionaries render
the word by ‘bleach green,” but this explanation is evidently
incorrect, or rather, insufficient. The existence of bleach greens
in mountains where nobody lives, or ever did live, cannot be
admitted. Unfortunately for us, the word has fallen out of use
in Waterford otherwise than as a component of place names.
O’Donovan in at least one instance (#) explains it ‘a green
grassy patch on a mountain side” such as presence of a spring
would produce, and this or some such meaning the word must
have in many instances. In the adjoining County of Cork, as well
as in other Munster counties, the word Tuap is in frequent use to
denote a night feld or “bawn” for cattle.

(d) ‘‘ The Red Ladder,” a rock by the river side from which
an iron ladder formerly led down to the water.

FARRANSHONEEN, fedpann Seoinin — “ Little John’s (or
Jennings’) Land.” Area, 174 acres.

GRANTsTOWN, Daite an Spantarg—" Grant’s Homestead.”
The Grants were an old Waterford merchant family, long since
extinct, whose tomb (17th century) may still be seen in the French
Church. When the article is used before a proper name the
latter is taken adjectively ; in the present instance therefore the

 

(t) Field Books O.S,
190
sense is—Homestead belonging to member of the tribe, or family,
of Grant. Area, 276 acres.

S.DD. (2) Ban Opdroe—" Drawdy’s Field”; a sub-division of
some fifteen acres. The personal name from which this sub-division
is called is now extinct in Waterford.

(b) Dén 2’ Darcatp, “ Barker’s Field.” The Barkers were
a well known Waterford family of Cromwellian origin. Their
name is likewise perpetuated in Barker Street, Waterford, which
occupies place of the gardens of an early 17th century Alderman
Samuel Barker.

LittLe Istand, dn T-Oitedn Deas, “The Small Island.”
The island occupies the middle of the river a couple of miles
below the City of Waterford, and is identical, according to
Rev. Dr. Kelly, (7) with Inisdomhle of the martyrologists where
St. Bairrfhinn, son of Aedh, Prince of Dublin, founded and
governed a religious house. It may, however, be laid down as
practically certain that the learned hagiologist is incorrect in his
identification. No trace or tradition of church, monastery or
burial ground has been brought to light by a most careful
examination of the island. Had a religious establishment of
the kind attributed ever existed there tradition of it could
not have entirely died out. Moreover the “ Martyrology of
Donegal” expressly place Inisdomhle in Hy-Cinnsealaigh
(Co. Wexford). The adjective was added to distinguish our
island from the “Great Island” lower down the river.
Geographically the “ Little Island” would seem to belong to
Ossory rather than to the Decies, as the channel separating it
from the northern mainland was formerly fordable. The ford
exists no longer, for the channel has been deeply dredged. On
the island is an ancient castle which has been metamorphosed
into a beautiful modern residence. Area, 287 acres.

S.DD. (a) “The Ford,” the river channel between the island
and Co. Kilkenny.

(6) “ King’s Channel,” the deep water channel separating the
island from the Co. Waterford mainland.

 

(i) “ Calendar of Irish Saints,” p. 94.
191

(c) “ Piper’s Rock,” in river on north side of the island.

(d) “Golden Rock,” in river on south side of the island.
“Golden” is here most likely a corrupt Anglicisation of 5uata,
a shoulder.

KILconaN, Citt Cuacdin,—" Cuachan’s Church.” With much
difficulty the site of the ancient church was discovered, at the west
side of the old Tramore road, close to the bridge on the southern
boundary of the townland. Cuachan is the diminutive (or rather
the endearment form) of Cuach, a virgin, whose feast falls on
Jan. 8th. She is the patroness of Kilcock, Co. Kildare. Area,
228 acres.

S.D. “Yellow Ford Bridge” (Ord. Map)—Camairin Durde—
‘‘ Little Yellow Ford.” There were several words for a ford. The
most common are cama and 4t. Camaipin—perhaps from the
English, cayvseway—seems to have implied some sort of raised
path across the stream, while 4t was a more generic term. The
ford was generally furnished with stepping-stones often of very
large size.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Daile Uitliam— William’s Homestead.”
Area, 549 acres.

S.DD.—Cappaig 4 Durvéit—" Bottle Rock ’—(perhaps from
its shape) ; a rock outcrop now largely quarried away for road
metal.

(b) Pott na Dpice—“ Brick Hollow”; a few small fields in
which, judging from the name, bricks were once made; no
memory however, or even tradition, of the industry survives.

(¢) “ Bottomy ”—the (presumably) modern name applied
contemptuously to a few worthless fields, cultivation of which
was sarcastically equated with penal servitude in “ Botany” Bay.

(d) “ Deer Park,” two fields to which the name is occasionally
applied.

(ce) Cuppa na 5-Capatt, Wet Place (marsh) of the Horses.”

Corbally Parish.

Tus parish contains only two townlands (one of them in two
parts). Indeed it is only in a modified sense that it can be
192

considered a parish at all—in the sense, namely, that it furnished
name and revenue to a prebend, or canonry, in the Chapter of
Waterford. The parish has no proper church, and was doubtless
of comparatively late formation.

TOWNLANDS.

CORBALLY, Copp 4 Daite—" Point (Peak) of the Homestead.”
The townland is sub-divided into two nearly equal parts—. .
C. more and C. beg. Total area, 508 acres.

S.DD. (a) Sapparde a Caméin—“ Garden of the Hurly,” from
its shape.

(6) Dén 4 c-Spdroe— Field of the Street.” “Street” is
used in the sense of “village.” The name is of frequent
occurrence in places where, as in the present instance, there is
now not a house, or sign of one, remaining. Hundreds of these
“streets” disappeared in black ’47 and subsequent years.

(c) Carrickadun (Ord. Map), Cappats o Otin— Rock of the
Dun.” Dun is primarily a fort, but in the present instance, as in
scores of similar cases in Co. Waterford, the word is applied, in a
secondary sense, to rounded dome-like hills of no great elevation,
such as would be chosen by a primitive people for fortification or
residence.

(d) Seana MutLeann—“ Old Mill,” at western extremity of the
townland.

(ec) Steann Meanndéin—Apparently, ‘ Kid’s Glen”; perhaps
5. Meanain— Glen of the Smooth Side.”

(f) Steann a Oovsa1g—" Dodd’s Glen,” forming boundary
between this townland and Kilmacleague East.

(g) &n Sppro (Spropa0)—* The Spirit”; a field frequented
by a ghost and regarded with popular and appropriate dread.

CooLum, Cuttum, probably for Cuan-’tiam— William’s
Haven”; see S.D. (a) below. In composition nt becomes tt.
The greater portion of this townland is in Rathmoylan parish.
Area of the Corbally portion, 155 acres.

“Cooleham als Coolum” (A.S. & E.)
1935

S.DD. (a) Cloonliamgowl (Ord. Map), Cuan ‘Liam Satvoa
—“ Harbour of William the Foreigner.” The foreigner, according
to local tradition, is William of Orange, some of whose followers
are represented as having landed here! Near low water mark are
some foundations of what would appear to have been a stone built
pier. The headland enclosing the little haven on the east is
defended on the land side by a double earthen wall, of pre-historic
character, thrown across its neck. The entrenchment seems to
have been strengthened in its interior by stone, a large quantity
of which a neighbouring farmer extracted from it. Portions of
the ruinous wall still rise to the height of about eighteen
feet. Between the wall and the sea lies half an acre of level
saxifrage covered sward, thc former encampment of an ancient
colony. Formerly no doubt the space enclosed was much larger ;
the encroachment of the ocean along this coast is very marked
and the yearly tribute of the cliffs to the Atlantic very considerable.
The fortified headland is known as “‘Oitedn ’Liam Sattos.”

(b) UWatth Capain—-'Cave of the Pathway.”

(c) ‘Palm Oil Hole,” so called from wreck here of a ship
laden with the commodity named.

(d) “Flour Hole,” where a flour laden vessel met her doom.

(e) Benlea Head (Ord. Map), Deann List — Grey Headland.”

Crooke Parish.

Tue church was monastic and pertained to the adjoining Preceptory
of Knights Templers. Of the latter only an insignificant portion of
a strong castle survives. | Beside this is a well sacred to St. John
Baptist, to whom the church also appears to have been dedicated.
The church ruin had in its east gable a triple-light window of early
English character, so that in all probability the building dates from
the earliest post-invasion period. For a fuller account of the
church, &c., see Journal of the R.S.A.I., Vol. I., Series 5.

“ Newtowne ”—(A.S.E.)

S.DD. (a) New Geneva (O.M.), a space of about twelve
acres enclosed by a high stone wall with flanking towers at the
angles. This was originally the site of a colony of Genevese,
founded about 1785. The Irish Parliament voted £10,000 in aid
of the settlement. In consequence, however, of the demand by
the colonists of certain privileges which it was not thought proper
to concede the settlement was abandoned. Next year the Govern-
ment commenced the erection of the barracks, of which some
remains survive. These afforded accommodation for 1,500 men,
and were occupied by militia and troops of the line. ‘Geneva
Barracks” acquired notoriety in connection with the Rebellion
a few years later; they were used as a prison, whence transfer
was made to a guardship at Passage. Many are the stories still
current, or current a quarter of a century since, amongst the
country people, of the dark deeds done within these frowning
walls. ‘‘New Geneva” came to an inglorious end in 1824, when
it was purchased by the Marquis of Waterford, who sold the
buildings to a Mr. Galway (merchant) of Dungarvan, by whom
the barracks were dismantled and much of the material carried
by water to Dungarvan.

In the Down Survey map (/) this is represented by a single
townland which gives name to the parish. The two additional
townlands therefore must have been formed out of the first
within the past 250 years. It is remarkable that in the whole
parish there is not a single native Irish speaker—a fact very regret-
table from the point of view of a student of place names. The

ruins of the ancient church are in an excellent state of preser-
vation; they consist of nave and chancel connected by a pointed
chancel arch of wrought red sandstone. The west doorway, also
of ved sandstone, and in harmony (architecturally) with the
chancel arch is somewhat elaborately moulded. Within the nave
is a rather remarkable holy water stoup or baptismal font which
has been deemed worthy of notice and illustration by Brash. (f)

TOWNLANDS.

CHEEKPOINT, Pointe na Sioga—“ Point of the Streak.”
Thanks to the ignorance of guide book compilers the name is
popularly supposed to imply fairy occupation or connection (Sige
—a fairy). Siosa however (not Sige) is the word entering into
composition, and the origin of the name seems clear enough,
scil:—from a rock, Cappais na Siog4—out in the river near low
water mark. A strong and rapid current sweeps over the jagged
sides and summit of the rock, and the consequence is a long trail,
or streak, of foam down stream with the ebbing tide and up the
river with the flow. Area, 199 acres.

S.DD. (a) Cappaig na Sioga—' Rock of the Streak,” as
above.

(b) “ The Russian Side,” portion of Cheekpoint so called
because, according to tradition, a Russian family or small colony
once established itself there.

CooLsunnia, Cat Ouinne—“ Ridge Back (or Corner) of the
Stream.” Close to the ruins of Faithlegg Church in this townland
is a mote with the ruined castle of the Aylwards within its bally.
The castle stood a short siege in 1649, when it was defended
by its owner against a Cromwellian division. The Protector, who,
it appears, had known Aylward previously in England, . offered
what he was pleased to call favourable terms. Acceptance was
however incompatible with the religious tenets of the besieged.
Under the circumstances the garrison refused to capitulate, and

the proprietor with his faithful retainers died, (/) like Horatius,
facing fearful odds for his faith and his ancestral acres.

FAITHLEGG, FérOlnn. The name, which possibly is not
Trish, has long been a puzzle, which we can only hope future
investigation may solve. Unfortunately the oldest forms of the
name afford no help towards a solution. An Inquisition, temp.
Elizabeth, renders the name,—Faithlegg als faithlack; the Acts
of Settlement and Explanation, which make it—Fathlegg als
Faithlegg, are equally powerless to help. If conjecture be
admissible for once, I would suggest féiteann, gen. Féitinn,
“Woodbine” (7) as the term. This would suppose the name
to be in the genetive, a phenomenon easily explicable from the
present local name of Faithlegg Hill, scil:—mMeandn feitinn.
The modern Irish for woodbine is Péattés, a term which would
explain the old form of the name—‘ Fathlock.” It is well to
recollect that old Anglicised forms of Irish names not only
represent the sound but very often form a picture of the name
as it appeared in Irish spelling. Area, 353 acres.

‘‘ Faithbeg” (D.S.M.); ffylyn (Indenture, 1508.—See Fournal
W. & S.E.I. Archzeological Society—April, 1906).

S.DD. (a) “ Knockrotton”—Cnoc «a Rupps. Meaning un-
known; perhaps Rupps for Ropaipe, a robber. This was a
demesne of 21 acres in which stood the country residence of
John Roberts, the architect, great grandfather of Lord Roberts,
and builder of the Catholic and Protestant Cathedrals of Waterford.

the latter member of the name is personal. This well, which is
nearly opposite the church and on the west side of the road, had
the reputation of sanctity. ‘ Rounds” or “stations” were made
here, but have been discontinued for over half a century.

(d) Tovan 4 Caic— The Catés Well.” The cat figures
frequently in place names in Waterford. How his feline high-
ness come to be associated with a well it is not easy to conjecture.

(e) “St. Lawrence’s Well.” O’Donovan found this well on
north-east side of the townland. ()

(f) Meanan Fé1uinn—“ Smooth Hillside of Faithlegg.” This
is the well-known Faithlegg Hill, the most prominent physical
feature of the Barony. From the summit a view of singular
historic interest and of entrancing beauty is afforded. Its coat of
heather lent the hill a rounded (smooth) outline.

KILCULLEN, Citt Curttinn—most probably “ Cullen’s Church,”
though the name is locally pronounced as if it meant ‘Church
of [the] Holly.” There is a St. Cuilleann honoured on April 22nd
in the Irish martyrologies, and a St. Cuillenn on Nov. 5th. (0)
The early church site may be seen—an untilled and bramble-
overgrown patch, in a field by the roadside a few perches north-
east of Delahunty’s avenue gate. The old mail road to Cheekpoint
ran close by the west side of the citt, whence it was diverted to its
present course.

Kilbarry Parish.

THE name of the parish is ecclesiastical in its origin, incorporating
the ancient church founder’s name (Dapyta). The church, to
which there are some references in municipal documents and
monastic charters, passed early into the hands -of the Knights
Templars, who erected a preceptory of their order beside it.
Though close to the Danish stronghold the original formation of
the church was Celtic, as the name, retained through all the ages,
indicates. Only insignificant remains of the church survive, and
the cemetery had, a few years since, become so crowded that the
Sanitary Authority was obliged to close it to further burials.

TOWNLANDS.

BaLiinaMona, Oaile na Mona—* Homestead of the (turf
Bog.” There is little trace of turf now, and the bog (on the east
side of the townland) which gave the place its name, has been
drained long since. Area, 348 acres.

S.D. Cappaigin na 0-Frac—“ Little Rock of the Ravens.”
This is a sub-division and a name, almost as well known as the
townland and the townland name themselves.

BALLINDUD, Dailte an Oova1g— Dodd’s Homestead. (f)
Area, 400 acres.

S.DD. (a) “Sheep’s Bridge” (O.M.). Modern though this
name looks it can boast of very respectable antiquity; it occurs
(in the form ‘“Shepyn Bridge”) in a lease dated Oct. 1495, from
John Devereux, Benedictine Prior of St. John’s, Waterford (to
which house “Shepyn Bridge” belonged), to Thomas Shallway,
of the City of Waterford. Three hnndred years earlier our bridge
was ancient enough to be known as “ The Old Bridge.” (g) The
Crompan stream flowing down from ‘Tourgar is still generally
resorted to, especially at Sheep’s Bridge, for sheep washing.

(b) ‘“Cromlech”; a tine specimen, though somewhat ruined
owing to failure of one of its supports and consequent tilting of
the table stone.

(c) Crttin—*“ Little Burial Ground.” The word citt from the
Latin cella was originally used to designate a primitive church.
When the church disappeared the word came to signify the
graveyard, and in this latter sense citt is generally used now.
To add to the confusion citt, and still more, cittin, is applied
to pagan as well as Christian places of sepulture. The citt, or
cittin, site (early Christian) at Ballindud is close by the roadside, a
few perches south-west of the main entrance lodge to Ballinamona
Park ; it is not marked by monument or remains of any kind, and
some difficulty was experienced in locating it accurately.

BALLBBEG, Oaite Do¢éc—" Poor Town.” The real name was
changed, half a century or more since, to Daite Deas (“ Small
Town”’) for reasons other than euphonic. Area, 267 acres.

BaLiyHoo, Datte Nag— Hugh’s Homestead.” Area, 300
acres.

BALLYNANEASHAGH, Daile na n-depeac—Meaning unknown.
Dr. O’Donovan however writes it Daite na n-Oéipeac—“ Town of
the Decies Family’”’—and suggests, in explanation, that a family of
the Decies race may have lived here, amongst strangers, in the
Danish or Norman period. (r) Area, 333 acres.

CARRIGANARD, Capparg an d1pro— Rock of the Height.”
This towntand was formerly part of Ballybeg (Ballybocht). Area,
163 acres. ?

S.D. Seana Spdro— Old Street”; the site of a former
village.

CaRRIGROE, Cappaig Ceovsé— Misty Rock.” O’Donovan
appears to be responsible for fixing, if not for inventing, the
name Cappaig Rusad—‘ Red Rock.” It is not easy to under-
stand how the error originated. Perhaps—but this is almost
incredible—the great topographer mistook the adjective. The
latter is certainly ceooac, not pusad. We have here an instance
of affected and irregular Anglicisation due largely, perhaps, to
inability to pronounce the gutterals of the qualifying word.
Area, 93 acres.

S.D. Spadroin— Little Street”; site of a village.

CooLGOWER, Cit Sabvap—" Goats’ Ridge-back (or Corner).’’
It was into the Goolgower bog-hole, or pond, that the head of
Crotty, the outlaw, was finally cast some time subsequent to his
execution in Waterford (1742). Area, 93 acres.

KiLBarrRy, Citt Dappa— Barry’s (or Bearach’s) Church”;
so called, no doubt, from the founder. Area, 456 acres, of which
nearly a third is marsh.

S.DD. (a) Seana Macs— Old Milking Place”; a field.
(b) Dan a Narote—“ Field of the Cooper’s Adze”; the name of
yet another field. The word ardte occurs at least three times in
place names in the county. Its special force can only be con-
jectured.

(c) Daite 4 Sitipe—“ Homestead of the Neighing (of horses).”
It indicates site of a farmstead where stud horses were at one time
kept.

LackEN, Leacain (Locative case)—“ Glen Side.” Leaca is
primarily—a cheek, whence the secondary meaning—a hill or
glen side. The word occurs with great frequency in place names
—nearly always however in composition. From an Inquisition
quoted below it appears that sixteen messuages in this townland
belonged to the Priory of St. John at Waterford. Area, 147 acres.

‘“Lackyn” (Inquis. femp., Chas. I.); “Le Leccan” (Ing. at

S.D. -Cappatgin a Nopna— Little Rock (by extension ‘Little
Rocky Place’) of the Barley.”

Kilcaragh Parish.

Tuis parish consisted originally of only a single townland. Later,
a sub-division of the latter became an independent townland under
the name of Bishopscourt. The parish was a prebend or canonry
in the Diocese of Waterford and formed portion of the endowment
of the Deanery.

TOWNLANDS.

BisHop’s Court, Ctaipit an Cappois. Idem. This townland,
originally part of Kilcaragh, existed as a separate denomination as
early at least as the middle of the 17th. century. It derived its
name from a castle (every vestige of which has disappeared)—the
summer, or country, residence of the Bishops of Waterford. The
castle farm continued in the personal occupation of the Protestant
Bishop till the Disestablishment, a few yearsago. Area, 318 acres.

KILcCARAGH, Citt Catapac—" Church with Stone Rampart.”
The early Irish ecclesiastical establishment was surrounded by a
circular fence of earth or stone, and most of our early church
enclosures—those at least on which later churches have not been
erected—still preserve this circular form. Cahirs are compara-
tively rare in Waterford. In fact only a specimen or two survive,
but the occurrence of the word in place names proves that stone
forts were formerly far from rare. The comparative scarcity of
stone accounts for the enormous preponderance of earthen forts in
this county. In the present instance all trace of church and cahir

has disappeared, but a few old people still remember portion of the
church ruin. It is probable there was no graveyard ; this is deduced
(1) from the absence of all tradition of its existence, (2) the diminutive
size of the parish, which can never have had more than a few dozen
people, and (3) the rocky nature of the church site and surroundings,
in which it would have been practically impossible to dig graves.
Absence of a cemetery accounts for the complete disappearance
of the church ruin. O’Donovan, it is interesting to note,
gives two derivations of the place name. In the Ordnance
Survey correspondence (s) he makes it—“ St. Carthage’s Church,”
while in the Field Books of the Survey (#)—as the result, doubtless,
of more mature consideration—he renders it “ Church of the Stone
Fort’? Area, 333 acres.
“ Killcaragh ” (D.S.R.).
S.DD. (a) “Cnoc sn Scapam.” Meaning unknown ;
perhaps—“ Hill of the Contention (dcépainn).” This is the
well-known name of a remarkable elevation. Local speakers
of Irish regard the name as referring to a dispute, or fight, in
connection with which the following legend is recited. One
_harvest season, in the distant long ago, when portion of the hill
was under cultivation, a meiteat, or harvesting band, was on a
certain day engaged in cutting the crop. Towards evening a
woman entered the harvest field and demanded that she should be
given as many sheaves as she could carry away. The demand
was conceded, whereupon she gathered up the whole quantity
harvested that day and, tying it into a bundle, swung it lightly
on her back and proceeded to carry it off. The harvesters, who
had not bargained for this, remonstrated, and finally took the corn
from her. Hereupon the woman, maintaining that the agreement
made with her had been violated, went to lodge complaint with
the men of her own family. These, enraged at the injustice to .
their kinswoman, came in hostile mood to demand satisfaction.
The result was a fierce fight in which the weapons were sheaves
of corn, wielded however with such force and fury that many of
both sides were left dead upon the bloody field.

(b) Cnoc an Sip (O’Donovan)—“ Hill of the Plague (Slaugh-
ter)”; now however Cnoc an Oif—'' Hill of the Gold,” most
probably for Cnoc an fosrhaip— Harvest Hill” The hill,
though now furze and heath o’ergrown, was once cultivated as
tillage marks up its side testify.

(c) Dan 4 Pétpiin——“ Field of the Pattern.” It is hardly
necessary to explain that ‘‘an Pécpin” was a public celebration
of the patronal feast of the church. At first purely devotional, the
celebration—owing mainly to the operation of the Penal Laws—
became largely festive. _Consequent on the confiscation and ruin
of the Church buildings, &c., the people were driven from the
accustomed places of assemblage. Gradually the religious element
in the celebration diminished, and too often the “ pattern”
degenerated into a scene of riot and drunkenness. This led in
scores of instances to the suppression of the meeting by the clergy
and, in comparatively few instances, to its reformation.

(d) Seana Leamén—" Old Elm”; a field name. The elm
rarely figures in place names.

(ce) DAn na Peipce—" Field of the Reptile (or Worm).”

Kilcop Parish.

THouGu the site of an early church on its single townland, as well
as its name, indicate the ancient ecclesiastical note of the place,
the present parish division seems to be comparatively modern. It
appears as part of Crooke in the Down Survey, and is not men-
tioned in the early Visitation Books. Not a vestige of the
ancient church survives, and the first Ordnance Surveyors failed to
find even its site. One must conclude they did not search far.
St. Coppa, virgin (daughter of Bardan) is commemorated on
January 18th in the Irish martyrologies.

Coxtown, Coitteaé—" Woody Place,” according to O’ Donovan.
This derivation is not above suspicion. The name is locally under-
stood to be coiteaé, a cock,—hence the Anglicised form, to account
for which a curious story is told. (w) Area (in two divisions, scil—

(g) Pur na N-Uastha— Lip of the Cave.”

(A) ‘‘ Bishop’s Cove”; the name is modern—probably from
some man named Bishop who was drowned here. There is also
“ Bishop’s Cave,” a great and steep pit of the puffing-hole class,
some forty perches inland from the cliff’s edge and forty or fifty
feet in depth. Bishop’s Cave is now protected by a wall, but
before the erection of this fence more than one life had been
lost there.

door, in such contexts, occurs occasionally in cliff names ; its exact
force in this connection it is difficult to determine.

CREADAN, now Ceann Cnia0din, formerly Ceann Cyia04in ;—
Meaning uncertain. Ceann is of course a headland, and the
qualifying word may be a personal name. Creadan Head is the
place so often referred to in charters, annals, &c., as the most
easterly point of Waterford. Area, 497 acres.

DunMORE, OGn M6p—'‘ Great Fort”; so called from an
earthen entrenchment, still in part surviving, which crowned and
defended the promontory known as the “ Black Knob,” on which
now stands the Coast Guard Signalling Station. The earthwork
here is of the headland isolating class so frequent along the
Waterford coast, and consisting of a line, or lines, of embank-
ment thrown across the neck of the promontory. In the present
instance only portion of a single embankment, remains. Under
the head of Dunmore is to be included Nymph Hall, a portion
of Dunmore cut off to form a separate townland with the fore-

by a remarkable “bullaun” or stone carved with a basinlike
depression. ‘ Bullaun” is merely a corruption of the English
word bowl. These stones are found very generally on or beside
ancient church sites, and occasionally too in other places. They
possibly were connected with the rite of baptism.

LEPERSTOWN, Daite na Lobap— Townland of (belonging to)

the Leper Hospital of Waterford. In this townland is a consider-
able area of commonage which formerly was much larger.

S.D. (a) The Fairy Bush (O.M.), Leact Sgeite a Dotaip—
“The Leacht of the Bush of (by or in) the Road.” A Jeacht is a pile

Killure Parish.

THE parish is coterminous with the townland of Killure, from
which it derives its name—Killure, Citt 1ubaip, 7.e., ‘‘ Church of (the)
Yew tree.” Its ancient church, of which portion still stands, was
monastic (Knights Templars). It is pretty safe to infer from its

an earlier Celtic foundation, Area, 627 acres.

“ Kyllure” (Visit. Eliz., E. 3, 14, T.C., Dublin).

S.D. Capyaig a tSi00a—" Rock of the Silk.” Origin of the
name is unknown.

Kill St. Lawrence Parish.

THIs contains only three small townlands. The ruins of an
ancient church (probably 16th century) stand in the now disused
and overcrowded graveyard. Its proximity to the city caused the
graveyard to be much used in times of pestilence, &c. A tradition
was current half a century since that this church, though com-
pleted, or almost completed, by its builders, was never used. The
‘pattern’ was held on August roth, in the neighbourhood of the
well called after the titular, and there lived till quite recently an
aged woman who remembered seeing as many as thirty-six tents
pitched here on the occasion of the celebration. The church was
a post-invasion foundation, on (most probably) site of an older
church.

TOWNLANDS.

CARRIGVOE, Capypaig Ui Ousada—O’Boy’s Rock.” Area,
160 acres.

S.D. “Cragheens,” perhaps from cpuaidin, a little lump or
pile (of rock)—more likely, however, from cpaigin (caipprsin),
little rock ; the name is applied to a couple of small fields.

CousE, Cabar— Causeway (or crossing place).” The couse
is generally a line of stepping-stones ; sometimes it is a tree trunk
laid across a stream. The present townland is called ‘“ Couse
Michael” in the ancient baptismal Register (middle of 18th century)
of St. John’s Church, Waterford. Area, 111 acres.

S.D. &¢ Ourde-—“ Yellow Ford.”

Kitt St. LawrENcE, Citt San Labpdip—Church of St.
Lawrence (the Martyr). Area, 36 acres.

S.D. Tobap Naowh Labpdaip—“! St. Lawrence’s Well.”

Kill Saint Nicholas Parish.

THE titular of the church and parish suggest the Norman origin of
both, for St. Nicholas was to the Normans what St. Michael had
been to the Danes. Of course there may have been, and probably
there was, an early Celtic church previous to the Norman
foundation. . The parish is large and somewhat dismembered—a
small section being separated by a couple of miles from the main
portion. A mound, covered with furze and rank vegetation, and a
piece of masonry a couple of yards in length, mark the site of
the ancient church on the townland which gives its name to the
parish. Close to the church site, on the north-west, is St. Nicholas’
Well, not now in much repute locally.

mentioned in the Irish martyrologies, though his name is distinctly
perpetuated in the title of three churches in Ossory. There is a
second Citt Mocoma in Waterford.(gg) On the arrival of the

English the Church of Kilmacomb appears to have been
re-dedicated, not, as Dr. O’Donovan states, to St. John the Baptist,
but to St. Matthew, Apostle, on whose feast (September 21st) the
“pattern” is still kept. The ruins of a rather rude (approximately
14th century) church remain in a poor state of preservation, and
some years since a pitying neighbour whitewashed the crumbling
walls ! (kh)

turn from the (probably 6th century) founder of the latter. The
English, as was their custom, re-dedicated the church, the new

titular being St. Michael the Archangel, as the “ pattern,” still
kept, testifies. Only insignificant remains of the church survive ;
these are rather picturesquely situated on the extreme point of a
fertile headland which juts out into that portion of Tramore Bay,
known as “ The Back Strand.” A landslip seems likely, in the no
distant future, to bury in the waves the walls which have withstood
' the storms of centuries. The church consisted of nave and
chancel, but unfortunately the chancel arch has fallen. A curious
feature of the ruin is the sloping pier, evidently cotemporaneous
with the church itself, which supports the north side wall. It is
evident that when the builders had reached the height of three or
four feet trom the ground they found the wall out of plumb—
inclining outwards—possibly through defective foundation. They
solved the difficulty by erecting the sloping pier, and thence
upward incorporating the pier with the wall! Close to the church
lie a great stone font or laver of rude workmanship and portion of
a second and much smaller, but otherwise similar, vessel. Several
well defined mounds, with traces of many earthen buildings and
enclosures, immediately to the north of the ruin, tell of former
extensive settlement. An ancient roadway is traceable along the
headland and by the church till it loses itself over the low clay
cliff, a few yards to the south-east of the ruin.

the Decies. Area, 412 acres.

S.D. (a) Killenagh Burial Ground (O.M.)—An Crttineac.
This is the site of an early church, of which all trace has
disappeared. The circular space, a quarter of an acre in extent,
is still partly enclosed by its earthen rampart, but no burial has
taken place there within memory of living man. A bulldn of
ancient type has recently been removed from the site. There was
here also at the time of the Ordnance Survey a rough slab of stone,
cross-inscribed and apparently of early date.

boulder by side of the present main road.

Caesius). The fruit is known by the same Irish name in the Aran
Islands, where it thrives on the rocks.

(f) Seana Sparo—" Old Village”; a field in front (S.W.) of
Flynn’s farmhouse. The ppdro, not a stone upon a stone of which
now remains, was approached by an old road, debouching at an
angle of 20 degs. from the present Tramore-Dunmore road ata

KEILOGE, Caot f6o—'‘ Narrow Land (lit. ‘sod’),” from
analogy of places similarly named (and Anglicised—Keeloge)
throughout Connaught. (mm) More probably, however, Caot6s—
“Little Narrow Place,” from analogy of Waterford names.
Locally the name is now often pronounced Coitte6s—“ Little
Wood.” The townland is peculiar in shape; it terminates at its
eastern end in nose-like projection, half a mile in length by one-
seventh of a mile wide. This projection, by the way, appears
as a separate townland under the name Baunfine in the Down
Survey. Area, 555 acres.

Howling) Lios.”

(f) On an Cappoigs—" Bishop’s Field’’; glebe land.

times in the county ; it is apparently a rendering of ‘‘ Manse,” and
in every case the field to which it is applied is glebe land.

(h) Rinnashark (O.M.), Rinn na Seape—' Headland of the
Sharks.” :

MONAMINTRA, Moin na mDaintpeabac — “Bog of the
Widows.” Area, 356 acres.

‘‘ Moynmontraghmore and Moynmontraghbeg ”’ (D.S. Ref.).

Rathmoylan Parish.

THE Rectory, like Killea, belonged to the Priory of St. John,
Waterford. Rathmoylan Church ruin, standing on a natural, °
mound-covered plateau, has a modern look, and is in a com-
paratively good state of preservation. Attached to the church
is a small graveyard, which contains neither inscription nor aught
else of particular interest. In the few grass-grown mounds beside
the church ruin, indicating the former site of a village, an
imaginative writer discovered remains of the royal rath of O’Felan,
Prince of Desi! (17) ,

(2) Pott na SCopc— Pool of the Corks.”

(aa) Pott faoit— White’s Pool”; from a fisherman drowned

(ce) Scott «a Omuipce—“Cleft of the Dulse.” Oumteare
(Dulse, otherwise ‘“‘ Green Lavers”—Ulva Latissima) is an edible
seaweed. : :

S.DD. (a) Cittin a Méacsaig— Meade’s Cillin,” site of the
ancient church from which the townland derives its name. This is on
the holding of a.farmer named Meade—hence the qualifying word.
The ertt here is still surrounded by its original circular fence of
earth. Very generally, as in the present instance, the citt is found
in a valley or other secluded place, while the uor, which hardly
differs from it in external appearance, is found, as a rule, in an
open position on a ridge or hillside.

is a loan word from the Latin Secale.

a small entrenched headland of prehistoric type. The space
enclosed by the circumvallation is, as in the Coolum entrenchment,

(0) Usirh na Maotaé ; meaning unknown.

(p) Usirh Oub—" Black Cave.”

Rossduff Parish.

TuE Parish is, like Monamintra and Corbally, of late erection, for,
inthe Down Survey, Rossduff appears as parcel of Kilmacomb. As
an independent parish it contains only the townland of the same
name, and has neither church remains nor site ; it gave title
and revenue to a prebend in the Cathedral of Waterford. There is
a reference to Rossduff as early as 1494. See Fournal Waterford

occasionally appropriated in place names to signify a reclaimed
peaty bog patch.

St. John’s Parish (Without).

Tuis Parish was in two parts, styled respectively St. John’s Within
and St. John’s Without. One part, as its name suggested, lay within
the city wall; the other embraced the adjacent suburbs or liberties.
The parish took its name from the Benedictine Priory of St. John

the Evangelist, in which it was impropriate. For a full account
of the Priory, church, &c., see Fournal Waterford Archzological
Society, Vol. II., p. 81. St. John’s tutelage (ancient and modern)
is recalled by quite a host of street &c. names within the parish ;
thus we have St. John’s Church, College, Schools, Mills, &c.,
John’s Street, Town, Lane, Place, Pill and Avenue.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYTRUCKLE, Daite Tpucait—" Torcal’s Town (or Home-
stead).” This affords one of the few instances of the survival of a
Danish name. Torcal (Thorgils, Thorkils, Turgesius, or Turgeis)
was a Danish chieftain of Waterford. By internal metathesis,
common enough to place names, the name has been made Tpocat.
O'Donovan derives Ballytruckle from tpucait gen. Tpucaite, a car,
but there is certainly no final e sound in the place name as locally
pronounced. Ballytruckle is the place called in old documents,
&c., the Oxmanstown, or Osmanstown, of Waterford. Area, 273
acres.

“ Ballitruckill” (Ing. temp. Eliz.).

BALLYCOURDRA, Daite Coproapiaod, ‘‘Cordray’s Homestead.”
There is in the Barony a second townland of the name, forming
a detached portion (89 acres) of Drumcannon Parish. Area,
14 acres. .

Cove. The name is English and modern, the place being
merely a later sub-division of Grange. Area, 34 acres, including a
portion within the Municipal boundary.

GRANGE. Spdinreac— A farm with its buildings”; the name
was applied to the out-farm of an abbey or religious house.
In the Down Survey Map, portion of which (reproduced) is
given herewith, it will be observed that Grange, Newtown, &c.,
are allotted to ‘St. Katherine’s Parish.” Of course there
was no such parish ; the explanation is that these lands formed
part of the endowment of St. Catherine’s Abbey, and that they
(portion of them, at any rate) were farmed by the community—
228

hence the name, Grange. On the suppression the lands seem
to have passed to the Sherlocks, and we find them referred to
as ‘‘Saint Katharine’s Grandge” in the will (latter half of 16th
century) of James Sherlock, Mayor of Waterford, 1580, &c.
Area (in two divisions), 331 acres.

“Grange” (A. S. and E.).

S.DD. (a) Gall’s Rock (O.M.).

(6) Richardson’s Folly (O.M,) ; a long narrow lane joining
the Grange and Kill St. Lawrence roads. The term “ Folly,”
qualified by the name of its author, is applied to a building, garden
or other work of an expensive and useless, or white-elephant,
character. Compare “Aby’s Folly,” under Coxtown, Killea Parish.

NEwrTowy, Daite Nuao—! New Town (or Homestead).” The
name is of very frequent occurrence, and most of the new towns are
now very o/d towns indeed. Area, 148 acres.

S.D. “ Highly Up’s”; the name, now practically obsolete,
applied to the junction of the Newtown, with the Passage, Road
(east corner). A publichouse formerly stood here, from the
proprietor of which, presumably (or rather from his nickname),
the corner derives its singular title.

PRIORSKNOCK, Cnoc 4 Ppropa—* Prior’s Hill.” This land
formed portion of the endowment of the Benedictine Priory of St.
John’s. Area, 51 acres.

“« Pryorsknock ” (D.S.M.) :

The following street, &c., names in St. John’s Without deserve
record, inasmuch as either the name is becoming obsolete or the
reason for its application is not now apparent :— :

(a) “ Ballymacedulan”—old name of townland embracing
sites of the present County Infirmary, Fever Hospital, Waterloo
House, &c.

(6) “ Bath Street ”—named from Poleberry Baths, which stood
near site of present Shee Charity.

(c) “ College Street ”—the present continuation of Bath Street
to Hennessy’s Road ; so named from Old College of St. John on
its west side.
229

(2) “ Fairy Lane ”’—present Henry Street, off the Manor.
(e) ‘‘ Frederick Street”—(now non-existant) led south from
Poleberry and parallel with Old Tramore Road.

(f) “ Hardy’s Road’'—the continuation of South Parade by
north side of Park to Bridge; named from a Colonel Hardy,
owner of east side of Johnstown, &c.

(g) Johnstown, Lean Tige Comm— Land (or Farm) of St.
John’s House,” i.e., St. John’s Priory.

“ Johnstowne alias Farretyoinn” (Inq. temp. Jac. I.).

(h) “Lower Road’”—now called, by affectation, Lower
Newtown. This was also called, through contempt—fatta foroin
— Mud Wall (Town).”

(i) ““Mendicity Lane”—running south-west from John’s
Bridge into Manor; now part of Railway Square.

(7) “Old Brewery” (Bell & Ramsay’s)—present site of
Tramore Railway Station.

(k) ‘Poleberry.” (Poleberry Lane in lease of 1793) ;
derivation unknown ; probably pott Diopaip— Water Cress
Hole.”

(i) ‘Rampart Lane”; this name occurs in century and a half
old entries in Baptismal Registers of St. John’s Church ; it was
probably the former name of Castle Street. In Castle Street was
“ Jackey’s Hole,” a well or pool (afterwards represented by a
hydrant), supplied by a subterraneous aqueduct from a spring
near east end of Hennessy’s Road. The aqueduct in question
caved in and was filled up or repaired some thirty years since ;
it is the “subterranean passage” concerning which there is a
query in the first No. Yournal of Waterford Archzological
Society.

(m) “ Willow Garden”’—to west of Old Tramore Road, where
now is a row of cottages. _

(n) “ Wyse’s Bridge’”—at junction of Bath Street and
Poleberry. The bridge is remarkable for having a pointed arch
at one side and a round arch at the other.
230

St. Stephen’s Parish (Without).

‘Tue fragment of St. Stephen’s Parish which lay beyond the walls
may be described generally as the triangular area bounded by
Johnstown and Ballytruckle Road on the East, John’s Pill on the
West, and a very irregular line—from Waterloo House to Ozier
Bank House—on the South. It has but few sub- denominations,
and of these not more than four or five call for notice :—

S.DD. (a) “ Ballymacedulan” (see St. John’s Without, above).
(b) “ Bleach Yard” —now grounds of Waterloo House.
(c) ‘‘ Ice House ’—on north side of Poleberry Lane.

(d) Miller’s Marsh ; from its proximity to, and connection
with, John’s Mill. References to the mill in question are, by the
way, traceable back for centuries.

(e) “St. Mary Maudlin’s (Magdalen’s) Chapel.” To this
chapel, which belonged to St. Stephen’s Hospital, I find three
or four references—one of them in Ing. of 1661, edited in
Vol. I., p. 1£5, Waterford Archzological Fournal, and a second
in an Inq. of 1569 printed in same F¥ournal, Vol. [X., No. 3. It is
probable the site of the chapel is that occupied later by the Leper
Hospital (now County and City Infirmary), and that the eastern
boundary of St. Stephen’s (Without) has been slightly altered.

Waterford City Parishes.

WE may, for convenience, group all the City Parishes together
under one heading. They number seven, and are all, with the
exception of Trinity Parish, of small size, and comparatively
uninteresting from our present point of view. Three of them
(St. John’s, St. Stephen’s, and Trinity) extend beyond the bound-
aries of the ancient city, and the extra-mural portions will be
found treated of under their various parochial headings—
“St. John’s Without,” &c. As the purely urban names are
mostly all English, and carry their meaning on their faces,
anything like detailed analysis will not be necessary. It will
231

be enough to enumerate those which possess an_ historic
of other such interest, or which have become obsolete within
the past two generations. In the present place it may be useful
to give a list (very imperfect) of old names not now capable of
identification. These have been extracted from the Great
Parchment Book (1599) and other sources :—

Babber’s Tower: ‘ Bantug Ibarry, west by Gibbet Hill”
(evidently, D4n Tige Ui Deapparg—‘ Field of O’Barra’s House’’);
Barryeors ; Boat Street; Bride’s Church ; Bride’s Gate ; Calle’s
Mead ; Castell no Kylechan ; Dawkin’s Gate; Dowley’s Castle ;
Fowlquay Gate ; Howstowne (this may be Ballyhoo); Lincoln’s
Castle ; Lincoln’s Quay, in which was a bridge; Little Conduit ;
Moran’s Castle ; Moran’s Kay ; Peak’s Tower (in St. Mary’s Lane) ;
Reservoirs (Upper and Lower) ; Rope Walk Well ; St. Catherine’s
Well ; St. George’s Gate (north side), also St. George’s Street ; St.
John’s Tower (this was the tower at St. John’s Gate, which
was afterwards used as the County Gaol, and small portion of
which still survives embodied in a limekiln); St. Michael’s Well ;
St. Patrick’s Castle ; St. Patrick’s Stile ; Tobber-Scheiin (no doubt
Toba Sgeitin—" Well of the Little Bush”) ; Windcroft.

St. Joun’s ParisH. For detailed account of the ancient
monastic church, &c., see Waterford Archeological ¥ournal,
Vol. IL, pp. 81, &c. For St. John’s Without see above, under
its proper heading.

S.DD. (a) Close Gate (otherwise Bowling Green Gate), at
present junction of Castle Street with Manor. There were
apparently two Bowling Greens; one was on, or about, site of
present Lombard Street. (qq)

(b) “French Tower,” at north-west corner of parish ; it still
stands, on line of the city wall which it guarded at an angle.

(c) John’s Street, so called (with John’s Lane, John’s Place,
Johnstown, &c.) from Benedictine Priory and Church of St. John
close by. '

(d) New Gate. It was found inconvenient to have the
long stretch of city wall from Patrick’s to Close Gate unprovided

(qq) Smith, “ Hist. Waterford,” (Ed. 1746), p. 194.
232

with an opening, and therefore, at some time about the
end of the 16th century New Gate, at the present junction of
Stephen and Newgate Streets, was provided. New Street was
then opened up to give access to the west through the new
gate, and it soon became the fashionable residential street of
the city. “Sic transit gloria mundi.” It was still New Street
two centuries and a half ago. (rr)

St. MicuaEL’s Paris. Some remains of the ancient church
stand in a cemetery at the rere of the shops on east side of Michael
Street. A gateway (and gate which few citizens of Waterford have
ever seen opened) gives access to the cemetery.

S.DD. (a) ‘The Conduit”; at angle of Michael and Peter
Streets.

(b) Lady Lane ; so called from a votive chapel which stood on
the site slightly to rere of the Female National School which has
just been closed. The street is referred to under its present name
in A.S.E., and under the name of “Our Ladye’s Street” in the
Great Parchment Book of the Corporation. (ss)

(c) Michael Street ; this appears under its present name in
A.S.E. The name comes, of course, from the church to which
it gave access, and probably dates from Danish times. At any
rate, the Christianised Ostmen generally dedicated a church to
the Archangel in every seaport they occupied. Generally, too, the
foundation was on elevated ground, so that their patron’s church
might be the last thing the hardy seamen saw as they started
on their perilous voyage and the first thing to greet their eyes
on their return.

St. OLave’s Paris. St. Olaf (Amlaff, Amlav) is another
Danish patron. The original parish church stood on, or partly on,
the site of the present Protestant church of the name, erected in
1734-

S.DD. (a) Colbeck Street ; named from the gate in which it
terminated to the south, 7.e., Colbeck Gate. Material at hand does
not warrant a definite statement as to the signification and origin of

 

(rr) Acts of Settlement and Explanation.
(ss) G.P.B.—‘ Rentail of Lands,” 1599.
235

Colbeck. The word appears to be a personal name—the name, in
all probability, of the builder of the gate and tower. The name
“Colbeck” occurs in the Great’ Parchment Book.

(b) Cooke Lane; called from a Mr. Cooke ; it is referred to in
AS.E.

(c) High Street ; likewise mentioned in A.S.E.

(d) “ Lady Church”; there are no remains ; it stood in south-
west angle of present Friary Garden.

(e) ‘‘Green Tower”; referred to (under same name) in A.S.E.;
stood at south-west angle of parish.

St. Patrick’s ParisH. The ancient church from which the
parish is named occupied the site of the present Protestant church
in Patrick Street, and was called Teamput Psopais. Some
portions of cut stone mullions and transels from the earlier church
will be found built into the churchyard wall to the rere of the
houses in Carrigeen Lane. In the cemetery are many monuments
and inscriptions of interest.

S.DD. (a) Barronstrand Street, Sparro na mbiopdnac—
“Street of the Sprats.” The Anglicised form appears to be a
corruption of the Irish name, without any reference to “ Barron”
or “a strand.” O’Donovan conjectures (arguing from an Irish
form) that Oiopén may be an English personal name—Birrin ; it
certainly is not Barron or Barry. A gate at northern termination
of the street was Barry’s Strand Gate. The name is of considerable
age, for it occurs in Municipal Records of the 16th century under
the forms—Berronstrond and Barronstrond. (?t)

(c) Carrigeen Lane, Cappargin—“ Little Rock”; the name
formerly extended, and is still occasionally applied—especially by
Irish speakers, to the whole western end of Patrick Street and the
portion of Ballybricken immediately adjoining. In the present lane
are the ruins of what is popularly supposed to be, and what most
probably is, the pre-Reformation clergy house of St. Patrick’s.

(d) “The Cross”; the old popular name (still occasionally
used) for Broad Street. | The name was derived from the historic

 

(tt) Great Parchment Book of the Corporation, ut Supra.
234

market cross of Waterford, which stood in the middle of Broad
Street, at junction of the latter with Patrick and Peter Streets.
The cross was taken down in 1750.

(ce) “ Fanning’s Lane”; this led north, from Patrick Street.

(f) “Garter Lane”; it led from Barronstrand to George's
Street.

(g) Jenkin’s Lane ; it appears as “Jenkin Lane” in A.S.E.

(hk) “ Little Barronstrand Street”; before the widening of
Broad Street this led north-west, from junction of Broad and
Little Patrick Streets, to George’s Street.

() “ Little Chapel Lane”; this, or portion of it, still exists, but
is no longer a public thoroughfare ; it isa narrow lane running
through to Jenkin’s Lane from George’s Street and parallel with the
flagged way by St. Patrick’s Catholic Church (‘‘ The Little Chapel,”
from which it is named). A note in the Survey Books (uu)
describes it :—‘“ A very narrow paved lane, generally very dirty,
and occupied by mechanics and labourers.”

(yj) “ Patrick’s Well”; this occupied centre of the triangular
space at junction of Patrick and Stephen’s Streets, and was finally
closed in only a few years ago ; it was nearly thirty feet in depth.

(%) Patrick Street, Sparo Pdopais. Idem. It appears under
its present name in A.S.E.

(1) “ Royal Oak Lane”; before the widening of Broad Street,
above alluded to, this led west from Barronstrand to George’s
Street.

(m) “ St. Patrick’s Gate”; at top of Patrick Street.

(n) Tower ; at rere of Harvey’s printing works, and former
west termination of Jenkin’s Lane.

St. PETER’s PaRisH. Some slight remains of the ancient
church are visible in the yard of the Police Station, and the
ancient cemetery (portion of it) is represented by the grass plot
in front of the Dispensary in Peter Street.

S.DD. (a) Bakehouse Lane and Trinity Lane appear under
these names in A.S.E.

 

(uu) Field Survey Name Books, Mountjoy Barracks.
235
(b) Site of Guild Hall; on western boundary of the parish.

(c) Magnus’ and Tor Castles—of which neither trace nor
tradition survives—in Peter Street.

St. STEPHEN’sS PaRIsH. What remains of the ancient grave-
yard will be found at the south-west corner of Keily’s Brewery in
New Street. There is neither inscription nor architectural survival
of interest. Attached to this church was the ancient Lazar House
or Leper Hospital of the city. (vv) Portions of the city wall are
visible along west boundary of the parish. For St. Stephen’s
Without see anitea, under its proper heading.

S.DD. (a) St. Stephen’s Street ; this appears in A.S.E. under
same name.

(6) ‘St. Stephen’s Well”; now built over and filled in. It
adjoins the workshop of Mr. Thomas McGrath, turner. A subter-
ranean aqueduct carried hence a water supply to a hydrant at top
of New Street.

(c) New Gate; this stood at junction of present Newgate
Street with Stephen Street, where portion of the city wall is
still preserved.

TRINITY ParisH. This had no church proper ; a chapel in the
Cathedral, behind the high altar, served as the parish church. Of
course all trace of the chapel disappeared when the Cathedral was
taken down, over a century since. Within the parish stood the
Dominican and Franciscan Friaries. (ww) For Trinity Without, see
under Bar. of Middlethird.

S.DD. (a) “Arundel Castle”; this stood on the wall of the
Danish city, almost exactly in the middle of the present Arundel
Lane. Recent sewerage excavations brought to light portion of
the castle foundations—opposite Mr. Murphy’s shop. A piece
(some eight or nine yards long) of the Danish wall is incorporated

236

in the boundary wall between Mr. Murphy’s establishment and the
neighbouring premises to the west.

(b) Arundel Lane; before the opening of the Square to its
present size this led north from the original Square to Blackfriars.
The present Arundel Lane—popularly ‘‘ Crubeen (Cpuivin) Lane”
—runs at right angles to the direction of its earlier namesake.

(c) Blackfriars ; so naméd from propinquity to the Dominican
Priory. The name occurs (Blackfryers) in an Inq. of Elizabeth.
About the middle of this street (on its north side), where it was
bisected by the line of the Danish wall, there stood yet another
tower, the name of which is lost.

(d) Conduit Lane ; at top of this street (in High Street) was a
conduit from which a water-pipe was carried down the narrow
lane to the Quay for the convenience of ships. The widening of
Conduit Street is comparatively recent.

(e) Keyzer Street; so named from a castle (Keyzer’s) which
stood at its northern termination.

(f) Milk Lane; the name can boast of some antiquity ; it
occurs in A.S.E.

(g) Palace Lane; this is the present fagged lane at western
end of the City Hall.

(h) “Quay Lane”; now Exchange Street. The latter name it
owes to the Exchange which stood at its present northern
termination.

(i) Reginald’s Tower, better recognised till recently as the Ring
Tower. This is the best known ancient building in Waterford.
Its original foundation is ascribed to Reginald, Danish chieftain of
Waterford, (x) A.D. 1003. Duringthe centuries since, the venerable
building has served many purposes—a fortress, a mint, a prison, &c.

(j) “The Shambles”; at the corner (west) of Quay Lane
(Exchange Street) and High Street.

(k) “ Turgesius’ Tower ”; this stronghold, from the builder of
which Ballytruckle is called, stood on the approximate site of
Mr. P. M. Doyle’s establishment on the Quay.

 

(wa) See Kingsley’s “ Hereward the Wake.”
 

LENAHIERY is by far the smallest Barony of County
Waterford. It contains indeed only one complete
parish, Kilronan, with portions (insignificant in three
cases) of five others. The name (Steann na nurdpe)
itself is apparently of great antiquity and not quite
easy of explanation; it seems to signify— Glen of
the Dun (Place or Cow?)” Analogy of Leatap na
nurope suggests “Cow” as the word qualitied by

“Dun.” At any rate the name communicates itself to the river—

Abdainn na hurvope (The Nire)—which bisects the barony. What

history centred round the hypothetical cow nothing that has been yet

published reveals, neither is there any tradition connecting a cow
with river or barony. In the tract on the expulsion of the Desii

already quoted (Ballynahemary, Whitechurch Par.) there is a

remarkable legend of a red cow, and we have already met (Ardmore

Par. &c.) a legendary White Cow, also St. Patrick’s Cow and

a Red Ox. Glenahiery is bounded by the Suir on the north, by

Tipperary Co. on the west and the high range of the Comeragh

Mountains on the east. As Irish is still a living language throughout

practically the whole region, recovery of many ancient and valuable

names has been possible—moreover local knowledge supplied aid
to analysis of some names otherwise unintelligible. The following
popular rhymes refer to places within the barony and illustrate their

 

names:—
I—
“Cnoc 4 Urpin an oomppin otnTa,

Inislounaght Parish.

INISLOUNAGHT, which lies mainly within the Barony of Iffa and
Offa East, has some five townlands in Glenahiery. The parish was
monastic, and impropriate in the Cistercian Abbey of Inislounaght
(inp Leamnacca— Island of New Milk”), otherwise “de Surio.”
We find the name written ‘‘ Abby Slunnagh ” in the maps and notes
of the Down Survey. .

Kilronan Parish.

Tuis is one of the largest parishes in the Decies, but, as it includes
a considerable area of mountain and waste land, its population and
importance are not proportioned to its extent. The name—Citt
Ronain, (‘ Ronan’s Church’’) is of course ecclesiastical, but which
individual, of the eleven or twelve Ronans in the Irish martyrologies,
it is who gave his name to the original church it is now difficult,
perhaps impossible, to define. The ancient church, which stands

 

(b) Ordnance Survey Field Books, Mountjoy Barracks.
241

in the townland of Glebe, possesses considerable architectural, &c.
interest, and the ruin is in a fair state of preservation. Indeed
the church appears to have been in use in comparatively recent
times. Within the roofless walls lies the tomb of Buck Sheehy,

BawnFunE, Dén fionn— Fair (White) Field.” It is locally
believed that this was the birthplace of Rev. Nicholas Sheehy, who
was legally murdered in 1766.(c) It was probably likewise the
birthplace of his kinswoman the gorgeous Countess of Blessington..
Sheehys resided here as middlemen, under Lord Middleton, till 1848
and their 18th century homestead still stands—a large old fashioned
farmhouse occupied by a farmer named Walsh. Amongst the
Renehan MSS. in Maynooth College is a quantity of interesting
correspondence (early 18th century) relating to the Powers of
Bawnfune. From these letters it appears the Dr. Bray, Archbishop
of Cashel, was closely connected with this Waterford family. Area,
631 acres. =
S.DD. (a) Paice 4 tSagaiyic— The Priest’s Field.” The
“ Priest” is popularly believed to be Father Sheehy whose parents’
property the field was. In the field is a well—Tobajia tSagaipec
— The Priest’s Well,” and whoever—my informant gravely assured
me—looking into this well pronounces slowly the words, “ fiué, Fiuc,
1n-4inm Father Sheehy,” will see the water bubble and boil.

(c) Dedpna na Saoite—"“ Windgap.” Here twice a year (on
Corpus Christi and some date in August) was held a famous fair which
has been immortalised in the popular Waterford’ ballad—“ Sonac
Vedpna na Saoite,” the production of Thomas O’Moran (otherwise
Tomé na mDodazian ie. ‘‘ Thomas of the Tambourines”). From
Michael Kavanagh’s spirit-preserving and nearly literal rendering it
were worth quoting the following verses if only to convey an idea of
an 18th century country fair in Waterford.

“On hardware stalls were razors, awls,
‘Knives, forks, tin cans and kettles;

‘“‘ With pans and pots in sorted lots,
“ And various kinds of metals.

“There tents two score, were quilted o’er
“With blankets, sheets and friezes;

“While dairyware in piles was there
“The kind—good housewife prizes.”

CARRIGROE, Cappaig Rusd— Red Rock.” Area, 149 acres.

CasTLEQUARTER, Caipleén Cusanac— Cooney’s Castle’; more
commonly now called ‘‘ Four Mile Water”; this latter name I find
in a document dated 1787, but its origin I have failed to discover.
‘No remains of the castle survive though the site is wellknown. The-
stronghold was reduced to ruin in the Williamite wars. ‘ Caislean
Cuanach” is the title and subject of an Irish sony well known im
Waterford. Its composition is attributed to James Power of Graig-
nangower, better known by his nickname of Séamur na Spona.

At close of a litany of his iniquities this precious scamp thus
proclaims some of his multitudinous accomplishments.

“Tam a blacksmith, expert and ready,

‘Can forge a horse nail or slashing spade;
‘Yd plough a furrow both straight and steady,
“Build stacks in harvest—the finest made.

“T’d hoop an ale-cask or keg for brandy,
“To fife or fiddle dance jig or reel;
“Yd teach two bumpkins, with shiners handy
“ How tricksy gamesters can cheat and steal.”

It must, of course be understood that much of the humour of
the original is lost in the translation. Close to the present bridge is
a ford in which the Earl of Cork’s coach was once upset, on which
occasion the Earl’s son, Robert, narrowly escaped drowning. Boyle
ordered one John Lodden a ‘free mason” of Bandon to build
a bridge here at a cost of £100, but a few months later he dolefully
records in his diary:— Said my new bridge wh. John Lodden
deceitfully built carried away by flood.” By his will the Earl
bequeathed £120 for rebuilding the structure with an expression
of hope that the Mayor and Corporation of Clonmel would undertake
the carriage of materials. Area, 73 acres.

overthrow of the Deisi, with slaughter ofall their chieftains, at Cluain
Daimh. The editor, Dr. Todd, adds that Cluain Daimh is now

This Ana is locally believed (volksetymologie) to have been sister
to Cian of Kilkeany, Brendan of Knockaunbrandaun, and
MacCairbre of Ballymacarbry. At any rate the lady here com-
memorated does not appear to be identical with the legendary
Aine of early Irish story. On Wall’s farm in this townland there
was found, some 40 years since, a small cross, resembling the
pectoral cross of a Bishop. Unfortunately, the Kerry labourer,
who found it, disposed of it to a dealer, and no trace of it is
discoverable. Wall himself found, a few years ago, a bronze
spear head, which he gave to the late Rev. D. B. Mulcahy, P.P.,

Tuis is the ancient parish of Clonmel, embracing the town and

and a considerable area of unreclaimed mountain country on the
south, or Waterford, side. The ancient parish church—St. Mary’s
—still stands within the town, its cemetery bounded on two sides by
the old town wall. We are immediately concerned here with the
Waterford portion of the parish only; this, which is largely Irish-

speaking, is rich in mountain names.

Spa. No Irish. The townland gets its name froma well at

well a covering structure or portico of masonry was erected as
early as 1593, during the mayoralty of William Stanley. Area,
66 acres.

S.D. Cnoc 4 tSputaipe—" The Vagrant’s Hill.”

 
 

FFA and Offa are Anglicised forms of the ancient tribe
name (Ui-Eathach) of southern Tipperary.(a) The
compound name, “‘Iffa and Offa,” is used at present
to designate two large baronies distinguished re-
spectively as East and West, and containing some
of the most fertile land in Ireland—the southerly
continuation of the far-famed Golden Vale. Neither

 

- the physical character of the region nor its history
has been favourable to the preservation of its ancient names. Its
history, since the invasion, has been a long record of planting and
confiscations, while—Naboth’s vineyard like—its smiling plains
have attracted the covetous stranger and brought destruction on the
ancient proprietors. It is only in the 5th century that, on the
expulsion of the Ossorians—its original occupiers, Mag feirhin
became portion of the Decies; thenceforth we find it called
“Northern Decies” as distinguished from the “ Southern Decies”’
of the Co. Waterford.

Iffa and Offa East occupies the south-east angle of Tipperary
Co., adjoining Waterford on the south and Kilkenny on the east.
It is drained by two considerable rivers—the Anner (root abs, a
river), flowing through its centre, and the Lingaun (derivation
uncertain) dividing it from Ossory. To these are to be added the
Suir into which fall both the rivers mentioned and a few small
named streams which will be noticed as we proceed. The only

the 7th century. See Vila S. Mochoemoci, March 13th.

elevation of note is Slievenamon (Stusb na mOan fetrnin—
“ Mountain of the Women of Feimhin”), a mountain cone
remarkable no less for its appearance than for its history and the
legends that centre round it. Slievenamon, with the ridge extending
from it in a north westerly direction, was anciently known as
Sliabh-Dile through which communication between Decies and
Ossory was maintained in Celtic times by three “gaps” or
mountain passes, scil:—Dedpina Coitt 4 Deataig (“ Wood-Roadway
Gap”) on the west, and Dedpna Citte Cai (‘ Kilcash Gap ”) and
Dedpna RAt-Crayur (“ Rathclarish Gap ”’) on the east. (5) Irish is
practically extinct throughout the barony—hence its names
are rather below average interest. The number of parishes is
fifteen, with small portion of two others. Of this number no fewer
than six embody in their name the word Citt and four additional
incorporate some other ecclesiastical term, v.g. Teamputt, Oomnac
&c.

Cahir Parish.

SEE under Iffa and Offa West. Only a single townland of the
parish, or rather portion of a townland, lies in the present barony,
scil:—

Moortown, Daite na Mona— Homestead of (in) the Bog.’’
Moor in the Anglicised form is not a personal but a common name
=fen or bog. Greater portion of the townland lies in the
adjoining Par. of Inislounaght. Area, 133 acres.

Carrick-on-Suir Parish.

Tuis is, comparatively speaking, a small parish—containing only
seven townlands. It embraces the town of Carrick with
a square mile or thereabout of the extreme south-east angle of the
County. A comparatively modern successor occupies the site of the:
ancient parish church, and in the graveyard attached are some

tombstones and inscriptions of interest. Within the present church
are monuments to the memory of John and James Power, last
Earls of Tyrone in the direct Power line.

TOWNPARKS, Capyiaig na Siuipe—“ Rock of (in) the Suir.”
. The name comes from a rock in mid-stream, uncovered only at
lowest tides in a dry summer, when the boatmen celebrate the
occasion by a bonfire on its surface. The town was, half-a-century
or so since, the seat of an extensive woollen industry, of which
hardly a trace survives. The Castle of Carrick is one of the finest
specimens of feudal architecture in Ireland. Originally erected in
the 14th century, it was considerably extended in the 16th century
by Black Thomas Butler, roth Earl of Ormond. This Tudor
addition is still in a fair state of repair and habitable. In the
banqueting hall are medallions in tresco of Black Thomas and
his royal mistress. Anne Boleyn is popularly supposed to have
been born in this castle. The present townland includes two
islands in the Suir. Carrick-on-Suir was founded by Griffin,
brother of Raymond le Gros—hence the name Carrick-mac-Griffin (c)
In 1242 Matthew Fitzgriffin obtained a grant of a fair in his

Donaghmore Parish.

THIs is a division of very limited extent indeed; it contains
in all only three townlands, of which two lie in the adjacent
barony of Middlethird. The parish derives its name from the
great church founded here at a very early date—possibly, nay
probably, by the national apostle himself. Foranan of Donogh-
more of Magh Feimhin is given in the Donegal Martyrology under
April 30th. His life is given by Colgan under the same date, and
by Mabillon in his “Saints of the Benedictine Order.” The
Martyrology quoted also commemorates, under May 27th,—“ Ethern,
Bishop of Donaghmore.”

TOWNLAND.

DONAGHMORE, Oomnac Mop—"“Great Church.” Only the
most famous churches—usually indeed only churches established
by St. Patrick—were styled Oomnac. The church ruin of Donagh-
more is of highest antiquarian interest. Standing on an elevated
ridge it is, with its high-pitched gable, a striking object in the
landscape, and is visible for miles on almost every side; I have
been able to distinguish it with the naked eye from the northern
slopes of the Comeragh Mountains in Co. Waterford, as well as
from the highlands of S.W. Ossory. The church consists of nave
and chancel united by what was once a very beautiful Hiberno- |
Romanesque arch of three orders. Above the chancel is an
over-croft similar to that with which Cormac’s Chapel is furnished.
The doorway, also of several orders, is highly ornate. Both
chancel arch and. doorway are, however, much defaced. A
barbarian farmer of the vicinity carried off the carved stones as
material for building a piggery. The patrician however was no
263

more reverent than the peasant; at any rate, a nobleman of the
neighbourhood is credited with the abstraction and abduction of
the curiously carved tympanum. Fortunately the ruin, now
vested in the. Board of Works, is preserved from further injury
. by the National Monuments’ Act. The windows are all beautifully
and characteristically plain, with round heads and a very wide
inward splay. Taking it as a whole the church is perhaps, after
Cormac’s Chapel, the most complete specimen of later Celtic work
remaining (e). Area 652 acres.
“ Donaghmore” (Down Survey).

Garrangibbon Parish.

Tuis parish, which occupies the summit and side of a plateau, is of
moderate extent. Greater portion of the parish lies in the adjoining
barony of Slieveardagh (which see). Only slight remains of the
ancient church survive; these will be found, surrounded by a few
modern tombstones, within the grounds of South Lodge. The
place names are neither numerous nor specially interesting.

Inishlounaght Parish.

THIs parish was monastic—dependent upon the famous Cistercian
Abbey, “ De Surio.” It is of great extent and includes a detached
area of four townlands. Yet another portion, which is cut off by
the river, has been treated of under Glenahiery Barony. See under
this latter for derivation &c, Within the Tipperary portion of the
parish there is, besides the abbey site at Marlfield (on which,
presumably, was the parish church), a ruin at Garryntemple marked
“Old Church” on ordnance sheet. This building, which is a plain
oblong of considerable height, is in a good state of preservation and
looks more like a barn than a church. If a church it must have
been a chapel of ease to Inishlounaght. There is likewise a small
but very interesting church ruin very close to St. Patrick’s Well on
the townland of the same name. Neither this however nor the
Garrantemple edifice is of any great antiquity. In addition, there is
within the parish a ruined church with a graveyard on Moorstown,
as well as (at least) two other early church sites, scil:—Kilmolash
and Decoy. The Cistercian Abbey of Inishlounaght was founded in
1187 by King Donald O’Brien and Malachy O’Faolan, Prince of
Desii. From a reference in Colgan (f) it is however evident that
~ there had been a religious house at Inishlounaght in the 7th century.

Barn, Opéagos5. The name isa derivative from Dpéas— A
Lie.” It is used in a variety of senses—most frequently perhaps to
designate an eminence crowned by a pillar-stone which in the
distance appears a human figure (compare feap Dpéise &c.), but
its exact force in place names is not always easy to determine (9g).

S.D. &n cSeana Stripper—‘The Old Stripper”; a field
name the origin of which is forgotten. A “stripper,’’it may be
necessary to explain, is a cow—not in-calf--which continues to
give milk during the winter.

BLACKCASTLE, Caipledn Oud. Idem. A castle, no remains of
which are now visible, formerly stood here. On the townland is
also a ruined church of little architectural but much historic interest.
In the graveyard, now known simply as Kyle (Cit), are several
tombstones all, curiously enough, commemorating persons of the
name—Slattery. Kyle was a very important and early church,
allusion to which will be found in the roth century life of St. Declan
at present in preparation for publication. Area, 53 acres.

“‘ Castlemoell als Blackcastle contin decem acre ” (Inq. Chas. I.).

CARRICKCONEEN, Casitiaig Coimin—Rabbits’ Rock.” On this

Area, 338 acres.

CLasHavappRA, Clap 4 Maopa—‘The Dog’s (or Wolf's)

‘“Currenstown” (Ing. Chas. I.).

Decoy, Ctaip Ciapdin— Ciaran’s Trench.” The official
name—very modern, by the way,—owes its origin to a contrivance
for entrapping wild duck which was set up in a bog, now
drained. The bog in question formerly occupied greater part of

 

(g) See Joyce—Proceedings of Royal Irish Academy, Vol. X. (1867) p. 6.
266

the townland. The “trench” was a natural depression, opening
into a well and pond. In a field adjacent to the trench is a citt,
or early church site, known as Teamputl Mocusna— Mocuana’s
(or My Cuana’s) Church.” The circular embankment which
protected the church is now barely traceable; it enclosed a space
of about an acre, most of which has been used as a gravel pit.
Here were found three gold pins, which were sold to a Clonmel
silversmith for 4/6, also a “stone chalice” (#) and a cross inscribed
plummet or bell-tongue of stone, now in the writer’s possession.
Cuana as a personal name was not uncommon amongst the Nan-
' Desii: a chieftain of the name, resident somewhere in this
. neighbourhood, is referred to in the Irish Life of Mochoemoc
of Liath. (4) Area, go acres. : =

DeerpPaRK. No Irish name. Area, 54 acres.

GARRYNTEMPLE, Sapyiarde an Teampuitt— Garden cf the
Church.” On this townland is the ruin (church or barn) referred
to above. In its east gable—too high up to be of any use to light
an altar—is a plain square-headed window of domestic type.
There is no cemetery or trace of internal interments, nor indeed
anything but the name to suggest a church. Area, 294 acres.

water clear as crystal. The well is alluded to in the roth century Life
of St. Declan already quoted. There is also (half hidden in water
and water weeds) a rude Celtic cross. Within the ruined church
stands an elaborate monument (originally, I believe, erected in
St. Mary’s Church, Clonmel,) to the memory of Nicholas White of
Clonmel. Reformation intolerance caused removal of the cenotaph
to its present position. The inscription, decipherable with
difficulty, reads :— .

Kilcash Parish.

LIKE most parishes of the present barony Kilcash is of compara-
tively small extent. It contains only eight townlands. The ancient
church—on the townland from which the parish is named—possesses
much archzological interest as one of the few Irish-Romanesque
churches surviving in the Decies. The present edifice was modified
by the addition of a chancel &c. in or about the 14th century. Beside
the ruin is the vault wherein rest the mortal remains of Lady ’Veagh,
celebrated in southern story and song. In the same tomb reposes
her illustrious kinsman by marriage—Archbishop Butler of Cashel :—
‘°F ap Leabap na mad 00 Léagtap
“ 8p n@aspoos ’p Lady ’Veagh.”
The leaden mitre which decorated the tomb of the Bishop was
removed to be converted into bullets during the ’48 or the Fenian

period.

As the parish name is proper to no townland it has fallen into

on the south by the Suir, is large, level, and very fertile.

Killaloan Parish.

THE present parish is divided into two nearly equal parts by the
River Suir. It contains in all fifteen townlands, of which eight are
in Waterford (see under Barony of Upperthird). The church
remains, on the townland from which the parish is named, are
insignificant ; they consist of portion of the side walls and gables
of a small rectangular building. * In the surrounding cemetery are
many old tombstones, but there is no inscription of very special
interest. The name—ecclesiastical in origin—seems to signify
“ Church of Luan’s Ford,” though the Field Books of the Ordnance
Survey render it “ O’Loan’s Church.” ©

Kilmurray Parish.

Like the parish last treated and, like the next, the present division
is extensive, and very fertile. It embraces all level country lying
along the north bank of the Suir. The ruined church, on the town-
land of Ballyneill, is a rather large plain rectangular building with
no remaining architectural feature of special interest. Some of the
tombs within the church and in the surrounding graveyard are of
more than usual interest. Lying flat on the surface within the ruin
is a slab marking the burial place of the O’Neills (or Neills as
they preferred to sign themselves) of Ballyneill. It bears the
following inscription in large raised Roman capitals, which run
round the outer edge and across face of the stone:—
““ Hic Jacet generosi Coniu—
Stantinus Neale et Honora Purcel de Ballyneale. Ille obyt 12
Mart 1629: illa 4 Mart quoru

Besides the ruined parish church there are church remains
(apparently Celtic) at Macreary, and a small fragment of a church
ruin at Curraghdobbin. There is moreover a ruined church on
Ballynoran; this is now called “ Dovehill,” a literal rendering of
the old name—Ardcolum, under which it is. listed as a parish
church in the Visitation Books. The parish name is of course
ecclesiastical—Citt Mune i.e. “ Mary’s Church.” There is now no.
townland of the name, though there formerly appears to have been
such—from which, as the church stood on it, the parish drew its
title. The place names of the parish are scarcely up to the average
in interest or importance.

district all took to wing one day, and flying away were never
afterwards heard of; hence the imprecation—“ Imteact gan capad
cordce ofc, a nép séaOna Daite Séaona.”’ A man still living
remembers to. have counted in the bad old times thirteen public-
houses between Carrick and Kilsheelan along the main public road
which runs through this townland. He also remembers to have
met here a funeral—a woman carrying on her back a three-gallon

Kilsheelan Parish.

THis is a division of considerable extent, embracing seventeen
townlands. The number of sub-denominations is, however, com-
paratively small. The parish name—purely ecclesiastical—is
280

derived from the name of the townland on which the ancient
church stood. This last, or rather its ruin, is highly interesting.
Its north doorway is Irish-Romanesque in style, rather ornate, but
the ornament is much defaced; it might be set down as early 12th
century work—contemporaneous with the doorway of Kilcash.
Kilsheelan was formerly (16th century) the head of a Deanery,
and was no doubt, at a still earlier period, the seat of a bishop.
The place names of the parish ‘possess no special interest. Within
the parish is a second ruined church; see under Ballinaraha,
below. An Inquisition (1279) at Clonmel finds that the following
who used to render suit at the Court of Kilsilan have been with-
drawn:—Balibothy (Ballybo), tenement of Achnyre (see under
Knocknaree), Istelkoran (Ballyoran).

a small cemetery still occasionally used and known locally as
Seana Deinn—" Old Steeple.” The Irish name of the parish
is Citt Tadgain (“ Church of Tagan”), no doubt from its original
285

Lisronagh Parish.

Tuis is a small parish of but little importance from our present
point of view. It contains only seven townlands all told, and there
are but few sub-denominations. Some remains of the ancient
church stand in a graveyard beside the small, square, and well-
preserved castle ruin of Lisronagh.

‘Kilmore O’Russine ” (Inq. Chas. I.).

LisronaGy, Lior Rua1o-Canaig (?)—“ Lios of the Red Morass.”
Lior Ruainneac—“ Feathery Lios” has also been suggested. The
name-giving lios lies on the east side of the main road. “ Lisronagh”
is however more probably a corruption of Lisroragh which appears
in Calendar of State Papers (1405) and-is no doubt identical with
the Four Masters’ “ Leas-Ruadhrach (Rory’s Lios)” of 939. The
proper Irish name is therefore—lior Ruadpaig and it has been
pointed out to me by a distinguished member of the Clann O’Phelan
how the name Ruadhraighe figures in the family pedigree, thus:—
Mothla O’Felan (slain at Clontarf) was son of Domhnal, son of
Felan, son of Cormac, son of Ruadhraighe. Area, 537 acres.

Newtown Lennon Parish.

THE present name is—as itself suggests—comparatively modern;
unfortunately the older name is undiscoverable. Uaite nua
Lumnsean—from the Lingaun stream forming the eastern boundary
of the parish—isthe full modern Irish form. The parish is of greater
than average extent and some of its townland names are very
unusual. The ruined church, standing in its graveyard and in a
fair state of preservation, is well worth study as it illustrates more
than one phase of Irish Church Architecture. The masonry, in

' part at least, is of fine sandstone and resembles early Irish work.

There is, in the parish, a second and still more interesting church

Vv

ruin—Ahenna (Kilklispeen). In the graveyard adjoining this
second ruin stand two early Celtic crosses of great beauty, and portion
of a third partly buried in mould and coarse vegetation. The
two perfect crosses have been drawn in detail and lithographed by
Henry O’Neill (x). Portion of the parish, it ought be added, lies
within the adjoining Barony of Slieveardagh—which see.

Slievenamon. A curious tradition existed some eighty years since,
teste the late Felix O’Neill of Lisronagh, namely, that this monument
was erected to mark the grave of some Ulstermen who fell in
a sortie during the siege of Clonmel. The remarkable monument
however appears rather to be early Christian in character, or,
if originally pagan—consecrated later to Christian’ signification.
Close examination of the pillar will show that it is cross-inscribed
and that the type of cross is early Irish. Area, 256 acres.

St. Mary’s (or Clonmel) Parish.

St. Mary’s the most important parish of the barony, extends, as we
have already seen (aa), into the adjoining Co. of Waterford. The
present portion, lying mainly within the Municipality of Clonmel,
has not preserved many of its Irish sub-denominations. At the
same time nearly all the small townlands immediately around
Clonmel bear purely Irish names. In fact, except Burgery-Lands
and Haywood (of which the original Irish forms also survive),
the official names of all are Irish. Although the derivation appears
fanciful, Clonmel (CLuain Meats) probably signifies—‘‘ Meadow of
Honey.” The name appears frequently in the Four Masters,
in the formula—Tpian Cluana Meats (bb). Clonmel stood two
sieges; one in 1516, at the hands of the Earl of Kildare, the second
in 1650 when it was defended with distinguished bravery against
Cromwell. In the first assault during the latter siege two thousand
of the attackers were slain. The town was at a later period, for a
time a great centre of Irish woollen manufacture; the Duke
of Ormond in 1665 introduced from Canterbury 500 families of
Walloons to initiate the industry. The ancient parish church,
which is of much interest architecturally, is still in use as the
Protestant church of Clonmel. Ballyadam Castle was demised to
this church as a charity endowment by Lady Elena Butler. In the
Co. Tipperary portion of the parish there was, besides the parish
church and the friaries (cc) a chapel of ease the walls of which still
stand in its ancient cemetery. This last was outside the town walls
to the west, and was dedicated to St. Stephen. Another similar
chapel (St. Nicholas’), on the south side, served the Co. Waterford

‘Templetney Parish.

Tuis parish is of perhaps slightly over medium size and its
sub-denominations of about average interest. Its own name
(“! Eithne’s Church ”) is ecclesiastical in origin—derived immediately
from designation of the townland on which the ancient church
stood. The Martyrology of Donegal enumerates three Eithnes.
Besides the Teamputt there were two other ancient churches in
the parish—one at Killurney, where portion of the ruin may be
seen close to the residence of Mr. St. John, and the second at
Ballypatrick. The physical character of the parish is somewhat
peculiar; from rich alluvial gravel flats rise a series of small dome-
shaped and mound-like hills many of them crowned with ancient
earthworks and lioses.

HE Barony of West Iffa and Offa, which is the
immediate subject of the present section, is practically

  

the only corner of Tipperary in which Irish is still
spoken.’ It contains, in all, fifteen. parishes and it
is very remarkable that, of these, not one embodies in
its name the word citt, of such frequent occurrence in
parish names elsewhere. This latter fact points
perhaps to a comparatively late redistribution or
formation of parishes. The planters found the land fitted for
grazing and fattening; hence they eschewed tillage—a policy which
resulted in driving the poor, Celtic, labouring, landless element of
the population back to the mountain slopes, north and south.
The American War of Independence however and the consequent
high price of wheat brought the land again under cultivation
and drew portion of the ancient Celtic stock down from the
hillsides to hew and carry, reap and sow for the sons and
grandsons of those whom they regarded their fathers’ despoilers.

Ardfinnan Parish.

THE name Ayvo fionain (“ Finnian’s Height”’) recalls St. Finnian
the Leper who, it is claimed, founded the church of Ardfinnan
about the middle of the seventh century. No traces of the ancient
Celtic church survive but a series of grass-grown mounds on
the hill top mark the site of a once considerable ecclesiastical
establishment. The parish—of small extent—is bisected by the
Suir; the townlands are mostly of small extent and hence very
298

many sub-denominations are not to be expected. Archdall gives
Drumabhradh’as an ancient name of Ardfinnan. The free tenants
of the towne of Ardfinane paid yearly to the Bishop 6/8 besides
other services; in addition, the Manor of Ardfinane (80 acres
with a mill) belonged to the Bishopric of Waterford. (a)

TOVYNLANDS.

ARDFINNAN. See above. The castle, built here (1185) by

Suir beneath the castle, 1399 (A.F.M.). Area, 267 acres.

BALLINDONEY, Daite 4n Dona (cSonnaro)—" Homestead of

Rath crowns the hill overlooking Ardfinnan from the east. The

Ballybacon Parish.

THE parish, which is of somewhat more than average extent,
includes a considerable area of mountain. One of its townlands—
Kildanoge—yields no fewer than forty-two sub-denominations,
most of them mountain names and some of them highly interesting.
The Irish form of the parish name is Daite Ui Péacain (“! O’Peakin’s
Homestead”); this is neithere borrowed from nor shared with
a townland. With the exception of the Kildanoge names alluded
to the sub-denominations are of only average interest.

KILGROGY, Cilt Spuatse— Gruaige’s Church.” Neither trace
nor tradition of church site could be found. A solitary aged
whitethorn bush on summit of a gentle height is regarded with
so much veneration that no one will interfere with it. This may
possibly mark the church site, but it more probably indicates the
former scene of an execution. Area (in two divisions—Mo6n and

Lapy’s ABBEY, Maimpem Murpe— Abbey of Mary.” On
this diminutive townland stands the ruin of a small Carmelite Monas-
tery. The remains consist of little more than nave and choir of the
conventual church, in a fair state of preservation. There is also a
tower springing, in the usual way, from junction of nave and choir,
and a highly ornate east window (later Gothic), Neither Archdall
nor Stephens makes reference to this house, which is evidently a
comparatively late foundation. Area, 16 acres.

LISHEENPOWER, Urpin 4 sopaig— “ Power’s Little Lios.”

LopeE, Citt na oF nsocan—" Ancient Church of Freehans ”;
this is presumably a former sub-division of Freehan’s townland,
from which it was nominally cut off on erection of the house from
which it derives its present name. The house in question, which
is still occupied, was the residence of Buck Sheehy, who was
hanged in Clogheen, 1766. Some distance to south-west of the
house is a holy well and the citt (early church site) from which
comes the Irish name. Area, 155 acres.

Caher Parish.

THE parish, which is of large extent, takes its name from a stone
fort (Cataip) which occupied the site of the present castle—on an
island in the Suir. This place is constantly referred to in the Annals
as Cataip-Ouin-lars (2). Caher castle, now carefully preserved,
has, ever since its erection, been bound up with the history
and fortunes of the Butler fanfily. It was besieged in turn and
captured by Essex, Inchiquin and Cromwell. Col. Thos. Pigott
writing in 1647 to Sir Philip Percival describes it as “ the strongest
castle I know of in the kingdom.” (i) Within the parish are the
town of Caher, a ruined abbey of the Augustinians, the ancient
parish church—also in ruins, as well as the remains of three other
churches. In addition the writer has verified five early church
sites. Owing to the non-use of Irish the parish is not rich in place
names, nor in traditions to illustrate the names surviving. A few of
the last are however of exceptional interest.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLINGEARY, Daite an Saoptard (?)— Homestead of the
Wooded Glen.” Ballingeary West, which is over a mile in length,
is only about one twenty-fourth part of a mile wide. Area (in
two divisions), 679 acres.

S.DD. Knockfeagh Hill (O.M.), Cnoce fia1d—“ Stag Hill.”

BaLtyMacaDaM, ODaite Mic osim—MacAdam’s Home-
stead.” Here are the ruins of a plain rectangular church of
considerable size—formerly a dependency of the Abbey of Caher.
In the Acts of Settlement &c. Ballymacadam appears as the
equivalent of five present day indépendent townlands. Area (in
three divisions), 514 acres.

S.D. putt Oa4na— White Holes”; pits from which pipe
clay was procured; the clay was used in the military barracks
at Caher till recently.

BALLYNAMONA, Datle na n-Usaitne—“ Homestead of the Green
Places (or of the Greenes).” The Ordnance Map is certainly
wrong in its Anglicisation and spelling of this name. Area, 206
acres.

S.DD. (a) Coitt a Ciurs—“ Wood of the Bell.”

Clonmore.”

(c) Steann na Fionndés— Glen of the Scald Crow”; a well-
known sub-division—formerly an independent townland.”

Barnora, Dedpna Fuspoo— Cooling Gap.” Like Ballymac-
adam (above) this townland was formerly much larger. According
308

to the Acts of Settlement &c. five of the present townlands of the
parish are merely aliases for portions of the original Barnora.
Area, 264 acres.

S.DD. (a) Ctaip Outb— Black Trench”; a sort of Glen.

1058 acres.

S.DD (a) Lady’s Well (O.M.).

(b) “ Holy Well” (O.M.). This is always known as Tobayi ora
—‘‘ Jesus’ Well.” Sixty five years since the well was surrounded
by a patch of swamp now drained. ‘ Rounds” had nevertheless
been made here from time immemorial. The masonry covering
the well is modern, though some of the carved stones inserted are of
unknown antiquity. One of the latter, with a small inscribed cross
in a circle, was found many years ago together with the smaller
rude cross, in a bog close to the Bansha road, a full half mile from
the well. This information I had from the actual finder, Roger
Sheehy, aged eighty years at date of my interview. The rudely
inscribed stone by the gate was cut and placed there by Sheehy
himself. A description of the well with an. illustration, is given in
Journal R.S.A.I. Vol. IX. (Fifth Series) p. 258.

(c) Scesae « Lea¢ta—" Bush of the Monumental Pile.”

(d) bn Leaca Vespypta— The Shorn Glen Slope”; a large

(h) Cott Veas—* Little Wood.”

CLONMORE, Ctuain MMop— Great Meadow.” Area (in two
divisions), 1,011 acres.

S.DD. (a) Citt Sobnaic—" Gobinet’s Church.” This is a
little known, early church site on the farm of Pat Mullany. Inserted
in the fence close by is a round, dressed block of conglomerate four
309

feet in diameter by about a foot in thickness; it is either a millstone
or (more probably) the plinth of an ancient cross. One face of the
stone is smooth the other rough and in the centre is a hole 44” in
diameter and carried right through, while close to the edge on the
- smooth face are two bullan like depressions of the usual character.

(6) Moin Rusd—" Red Bog ”; a sub-division.

(c) Clair 4 Oainne—" Milk Trench”; a small sub-division.

(d) &n Ruspesé—" The Moory Place.”

CooLaCLaMPER, Cit 4 CLampaip— Corner of the Contention.”
Disputed land is often styled—ctampap. Area, 171 acres.

EDENMORE, Gaoan Mop— Great Brow.” The name is
perhaps derived in the present instance from a large lios with high
ramparts. Area, 78 acres.

“ Adammore alias Loughloh ” (A.S.E.).

FARRANLAHASSERY, Feapiann Leit-Seippge—" Farm of the
Half Plow-Land.” Compare place of similar name, Kilbarrymaiden
Parish, also Ballynalaheasary, Dungarvan Parish. Area, 105 acres.

Hens.” Area, 57 acres.”

small portion of the townland in Derrygrath Parish. Area, 849
acres.

S.DD. (a) Cnoc an fusoag— Hill of the Plundering (or
Carrying-off by Force).” The plunderer in the present instance
appears to be the wind, sweeping away corn &c. from an exposed
ridge. a

(b) Seana Oaite—" The Old Village”; applied to an area
of a couple of fields. ,

(c) “ The Kylogs”; “ Caotog”’ is a little narrow thing. The

acres.

‘““Grangemore alias Ballymacadam ” (A.S.E.).

S.D. “St. Patrick’s Stone”; a roadside boulder of limestone
locally regarded with veneration and believed to have been used as
a cushion by the National Apostle, marks of whose knees local
credulity sees in a couple of circular indentations on the face of
the stone.

HussEystown, Daite Ui Covapa. Idem. Area, 188 acres.

KEYLONG, Caot6s—' Narrow Strip”; this is a townland of
extraordinary shape; about four miles in length it is at no point
wider than thirteen perches! In the neighbourhood of Dungarvan
it would, I imagine, be called a ‘‘ Staing.” Area, 84 acres.

S.D. Loe Spuaisin—* Pond of the Little Turf Rick.”

KILcommon, Citt Coméin—“ Cummian’s Church.” The site
of the early cifirch is within the Glengall demesne and quite close

out of the ornamental grounds which surround it the ancient
graveyard was disturbed and the bones of the dead, in many
cases, removed. Area (in three divisions), 1,514 acres.

S.DD. (a) Dappa na ndrote, apparently— Summit of the
Adze”; a sub-division. From the repeated occurrence however
511

of the word a1dte in such connections I am strongly inclined to
doubt the rendering—adze.

_ (b) O4n 4 Loca—" Field of the Pond”; a small sub-division
of about 4o acres.

(c) Loe na D6— Pond of the Cow ” also Cporaipie. Loca na D6
(“ Cross-Roads of the Cow Pond”), a very well known name.

(d) Sleann Riabac— Grey Glen.”

(e) Loe e1tip— Elizabeth’s Pond.’’

(f) Cltoé 4 Stainge— Rock of the Staing.” A staing is a
measure of land (a perch), but it is applied in the neighbourhood

_of Dungarvan to peculiarly long and very narrow fields or strips of
land; see Keylong, above. This present sub-division, on which
are now the military barracks, appears also to have been called
Clashdooney (probably Ciair Otina).

(g) Rat 4 DA1n—* Rath of the Plain.”

KILLEENBUTLER, Cittin Duitcéip—" Butler’s Little Church.”
The site of the early church is close to the Railway on east side of
latter. Area, 249 acres.

the Cahir-Cashel road. Area, 206 acres.

‘“‘ Kilmelach ” (Close Rolls, 8. Hen. III.).

KnockaGH, Cnoca¢— Hilly Place.” This is alluded to in
the Leabhar-Gabhala as Ard-Feirchis i.e. height of Feirchis, the

Derrygrath Parish.

ETMOLOGICALLY Derrygrath has nothing to do with oaks or woods
as its sound and spelling would suggest; it is simply the irregular
Anglicisation of Oeaps-RAt—"! Red Rath.” The parish is of rather
less than average extent and is non-Irish speaking. Its ruined
church, crowning a gentle eminence beside the great triple-walled
‘rath from which townland and parish are named, has a beautiful
chancel arch of transitional style. All dressings &c. are of fine
grained mountain sandstone. | Unfortunately only the nave of the
venerable edifice survives. Within the demolished chancel is the
burial place of the Keatings of the historian’s line. There are
at least three other early church sites within the parish.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYDONEY, Daite an Oonaig (cSonnaig)—" Homestead of
the Stockade.” There is a fine ruined castle and close by it a large .
circular citt or early church site which, bearing unfortunately no
special name, is not marked at all on the Ordnance Maps.

CARRIGAUN, Cappagdn—" Little Rock.” Area, 114 acres.

CLOGHNACODY, Clocén na Coroe—‘‘ Stepping Stones of (by)
the Brush-Wood.” Coro is akin to the Latin Salicetuim. Compare
Welsh “ Céid” as in Betys-y-Céid. Area, 84 acres.

Crutta, Cpotac— Hump (Hillock)-Abounding.” Area (in
two divisions), 70 acres.

Cuckoo HILL, Cnoc na Caittrse—" The Hag’s Hill.” The
Anglicisation of this name here suggests the idea that perhaps the
ubiquitous ‘‘ hag” of place names is the cuckoo. Area, 140 acres.

-S.DD. (a) Glebe (O.M.), Feapann na heastaipe— Land of
the Church.” If tradition is to be credited the present is not the
315

original glebe. The latter, on which Mr. Hetfernan’s homestead
now stands, got lost. At any rate the Church was unable to recover
it, but got other land (the present ‘“ Glebe”) of equivalent value
instead.

(b) Log Feapainn na n€astaire; a pond on last.

(c) Pdipic na Grove (or, na SCp6)—“ Field of the Grove (or
‘of the Sheep Pens ’).”

DERRYGRATH, Oespis-R4t—" Red Rath.” On the townland
are the ruins of an interesting church of, probably, early 13th
century erection and close by it the great three ringed lios from
which comes name of parish and townland. Not many yards from
the outer rampart of the lios stood (till a dozen years since), near
north-east corner of the field, a tall and slender pillar stone which
O’Donovan (note to Four Masters) identifies as the pillar against
which Lughaidh, Chief King of Ireland, stood when he was .
treacherously slain by Feirchis (see Knockagh—Cahir Par. above,
see also Keating, under date A.D. 182). A depression in the soil,
due to falling in of a small subterranean limestone cave, marks at
present the spot where the pillar stood. The latter has been broken
up for fence repairing material. O2D. states that the place of the
occurrence was called Sopc an Oip at date-of the Survey. The
name, if it existed half a century since, is now unknown. There is
however a P4iptc an Oipion the neighbouring townland of Knockagh
as well as a Ctaip sn dipsgi0 on the present townland. An old
road ran from the church due west to make junction with the
present road, via Loughloghery, to Caher. Area (in two divisions),
617 acres.

“ Thackerath ” (Sweetman’s Calendar, 1283).

S.DD. (a) Ctaip an Sipgro—" Trench ofthe Silver.” Through,
or beside, this ran—tfrom direction of the ford of Ardfinnan—another
ancient road which effected a junction, close to Derrygrath church,
with the old east-and-west road to Cahir and continued thence
northwards towards Kyle (Woodroofe).

GARRYROE, Sspparde Rusd— Red Garden.” Area, 112 acres.

KILMALocE, Citt Motois — “ Mologe’s Church.” The
Ordnance Maps do not indicate the church site. Indeed the latter,
which is about qo perches to east of Kilmaloge pond, was recovered
only with much difficulty; it is close to the railway (north side), and
bounded on the north by the road running east towards Nicholstown
Castle. Portion of this townland lies in Ardfinnan Par. and portion
in Rochestown. Area, 559 acres.

led in an easterly direction from neighbourhood of Garnavilla
National School. On the hill was a citt in which human skulls
were found, hence the name.

(d) Cnoe Datle Ui 1crbe—“ Ballyhickey Hill”; though on
this, and not on Ballyhickey, townland.

KiLmurry, Citt Mutfe— Mary’s Church.” The name seems
to be new, as a designation of the townland. The latter is generally
and locally regarded as a sub-division of Derrygrath. As in the
case of Kilmaloge, there was considerable difficulty in identifying the
church site. It isin a small field adjoining the main Cahir-Clonmel
road, on south side of the latter and on the farm of a man named
Dahill. The foundations of the church were unearthed during
farming operations, a few years since. Area, 93 acres.

S.D. Sopt Sceite Lin— Garden of the Flax (Whitethorn),

LIsNAMUCK, Liop na Muice—* Lios of the Pig’; probably
from some legendary or historic pig. On this townland there are
no fewer than six lioses—three of them small and circular, two
(a larger and a smaller) irregular in shape, and one partially
destroyed. I have not been able to discover which of the six
gives name to the townland. Area, 367 acres. —

NICHOLASTOWN, Daite Miocoit—“ Nichol’s Homestead.” The
ruined castle of the Keatings on this townland is a very prominent
object in the landscape.

S.D. “ The Croughtas ”—i.e. The Crofts—some small fields.

THomastown, Daite Comair. Idem. Area, 174 acres.

Molough Parish.

Tue Parish derives its name (Mag Loca, Castrum Stagni, or
“ Plain of the Pool”) from the townland on which the primitive
church and nunnery stood. Some remains of the ancient buildings
survive, but they are neither interesting nor extensive. Though
the church is an extremely early foundation, its parish is of but
very limited extent. In the Irish Life of St. Declan the nunnery
of Molough is alluded to as existing in the 5th century. A noted
ford in the Suir, close to the ancient religious foundation, gave
some importance to the place in early and medizval times.

Mortlestown Parish.

MORTLESTOWN, a parish of less than average size, derives its name
from the townland on which its ancient church stood. The church
ruin which survived till a few years since, was vandalically demolished
by a late parish priest of Cahir. From our present particular point
of view the parish possesses comparatively little interest; sub-
denominations are few and the townland names are of no special
importance. .

surrounded by a double rampart. Area, 77 acres.

KEDRAGH, Céao0pscs. Meaning uncertain. Locally the name .
is believed to be Céao Spota—‘“‘ Hundred Streams,” a derivation

its noun in the singular. Area, 751 acres.

Neddins Parish.

THE present parish, though somewhat more extensive than either
of the two preceding, is still slightly under average area. It lies
mainly along east bank of the Suir. Three of its townlands
however—Laken, Knockroe and Knockadempsey—are on the west
side, whence they communicated with the main area of the parish
by a ford, still occasionally used, near south boundary of Lacken.
Knockadempsey also communicated directly with Clocully by
another ford reached by a laneway at both ends. A third ford
joined Rathokelly to Kilmaneen. Little remains of the ancient
parish church; in fact, with the exception of a flat arched single
doorway, scarcely any architectural feature survives. The parish is
by no means rich in place names; those surviving are of no more
than average interest.

Newcastle Parish.

A CASTLE (now in ruins) of the Prendergasts gave its name to this
parish, which is of great extent and embraces a wide tract of
mountain. Irish is still a living tongue throughout the whole area;
hence the names surviving are of uncommon interest and number.
Through the parish ran one of the ancient lines of communication
between the Northern and Southern Decies. The remains of the
ancient church show the latter to have been more than ordinarily
commodious. Popular tradition persists in attributing the destruc-
tion of the church to a Prendergast, who set it on fire. Close by
the ruined church stands the still more ruinous castle.

ordinarily to signify a small cut-away piece, and this seems to be
the purpose in the present instance.

S.D. Crap Mop—* Great Trench.”

Rochestown Parish.

Tuis is a very small parish, containing three townlands only and
portion of a fourth. It is evident from the Royal Visitation Books
(MS. T.CD., E, 3, 14) that anciently it was much larger, and that,
being cut in two by the Suir, two churches—one on either side of
the river—came in course of time to be erected. Later on the
eastern portion became a separate parish under the name of
Rochestown, and the other part was eventually swallowed up in
the ancient Parish of Tubrid at the west. But scant remains of
the ancient church survive; they stand within the old cemetery,
wood-overgrown, but still occasionally used. The local names are
singularly uninteresting.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYHICKEY, UDaile Ui 1c1de—‘ O’Hickey’s Homestead.”
The old direct road to Ardfinnan running along west boundary of
this townland represents the ancient highway to the South Decies
from the Munster Capital (0).

RocHEstown, Daite an Roiptis— Roche’s Homestead.”
There are the remains of an ancient castle under which is a good
ford in the Suir. By this pass the Cromwellian army crossed.
There was likewise a ford at Reechestown half a mile to the south;
this latter was reached by the present lane running down to
the river from the east. At Garnavilla was yet another ford,
but the best known and the most generally used was doubtless the
Rochestown ford. The castle of Rochestown ( Roche’s Castle”)
was stormed in 1647 by Inchiquin who put its fifty warders to the
sword and burned “ much corn and divers towns thereabouts ” (p).
Area, 633 acres.

Shanrahan Parish.

SHANRAHAN is a parish of great extent—stretching from the Co.
Waterford boundary line on the south to the ridge of the Galtees
on the north. Through it run (east and west) two mountain ranges
—the Galtee (Slieve Grot) and Knockmaeldown (Slieve Gua) chains.
It is traversed in the same general direction by a couple of
small rivers—the Dwag (Oubatg) and the Tar (dn cSeapyiarg) (q),
tributaries of the Suir. Shanrahan is a place of some his-
torical importance as the possible original see of St. Cataldus,
afterwards Bishop of Tarentum in Italy. The ruined church,
dating from a period centuries subsequent to the time of
Cataldus but occupying doubtless the site of the original founda-
tion, consists of nave and chancel joined by a semi-circular
arch. At the west end rises a tower of more modern date, and by
the south side wall, on the outside, is the grave and monument of
Rev. Nicholas Sheehy, P.P., who was hanged and quartered in
Clonmel (1766) to the everlasting disgrace of the Cromwellian

gentry of South Tipperary. | Shanrahan is, or was till recently, an
Irish-speaking parish; hence the names are many and interesting.
There is a second ruined church (Ballysheehan) within the parish
and the sites beside of some two or three primitive oratories.

name to the (late Tudor) castle of the Everards which was destroyed
550

by fire within a few years of its erection, though the limestone
walls still stand in an excellent state of preservation. Sir Richard
Everard, the builder of the castle and last holder of the barony,
played many parts—some of them important and some not too
creditable—in the stirring times wherein his lot was cast. A
patent, 15, Chas. I. recites the names of lands and manors passed
to him that year. The document recites the names of over 160
plowlands of which only about twenty-eight are now capable of
identification! Area, 301 acres.

I have heard ctinn’ almost universally, but cat a few times.

in meaning they are used here one for the other without distinction.

am doubtful of this derivation; the word mionn&n occurs too
frequently in place-names to render foregoing etymology very
credible. Probably mionn4&n in such cases = mbeanndn.

KNockarum, Cnoc déattum. Meaning uncertain. O’ Donovan
conjectures Eacdpomas, but this seems rather far-fetched. An

Scart, Scaiptc— Thicket.” An ancient road, Détap na

the site of a church of the Penal Times—the identical church which
Father Sheehy served.

(b) Toba na Cépcs— Easter Well”; a holy well still resorted

SHANBALLY, Seana Oaite— Old Village.” On this townland
are the graveyard and ruined church commonly called Ballysheehan.
The church is of considerable size and the cemetery contains a few
monuments and inscriptions of age and interest. It does not,
however, appear—at least under any recognisable name—in
Taxation or Visitation and, as a consequence, the question of its
history and origin is, so far, unsolved. Area, 371 acres.

Templetenny Parish.

Lixe Shanrahan the present is a parish of great extent and
embracesa largeareaof mountain. Like Shanrahan too it lies between
the Knockmaeldown and Galtee ranges, extending from the summit
of the latter to the far base of the former. The townlands are, as
arule, very large and, as Irish is generally spoken, sub-denominations
are numerous. The parish name (Ceamputt Tuinne—“ Church of
the Marsh”), which is not shared with a townland, is evidently
derived from the church’s situation on an island of dry land in
what must have been a bog previous to the present arterial drainage.
The church remains are insignificant and the much used graveyard
contains no tomb or inscription of special interest. Within the
parish are the so called Mitchelstown Caves and the thriving but
slovenly village of Ballyporeen.

KILNaMona, Cilt na Monsa—“ Church of the Bog.” There is

acres.

S.DD. (a) Opeac-Dan — Speckled Field.” This sub-
denomination has quite a history: it is the name of a somewhat
loosely-defined sub-division of the townland, and of the small
stream which having drained the sub-division falls into the

Funshion. Spenser has sung of it under the name of Fanus, -
and in it he places the bath of Diana:—

“For first she springs out of two marble rocks
“On which a grove of oak high mounted grows,
“That as a garland seemed to deck the locks

“Of some fayre bride brought forth with pompous shows
“ Out of her bower that many flowers strew.

‘‘So through the flowery dales she tumbling doune,
“Through many woods and shady coverts flows,

Tubrid Parish.

THE origin of this parish goes back to the fifth century if we are to
believe the “ Life” of St. Declan. The Apostle of the Decies
baptised the infant Ciaran at the well from which the future church
and parish derived its name—Tiovparo Crapdin. The church ruin
at Tubrid possesses a peculiar interest; it is one of the very few
examples surviving of a 17th century church of the people. It is
a small plain rectangular building with a tablet over its only door-
way requesting prayers for Father Eugene Duffy and Doctor
Geoffrey Keating who caused the chapel to be built. As the burial
place of the historian himself as well as of one of the most
remarkable Bishops of the Penal times—Archbishop Brennan of
Cashel—the little chapel has further claims on our attention.
Father Eugene Duffy, above mentioned was a Franciscan and the
author of a biting Irish satire (metrical, of course) on Myler McGrath,
Archbishop of Cashel. A literal translation of the satire from the
pen of John O’Daly was published by John Davis White at Cashel
in 1864. The parish is extensive and contains an unusually large
number of townlands; sub-denominations are not however propor-
tionately numerous. Within the parish are two further unimportant
ruined churches and the sites of at least four other early Christian
foundations.

Pond.” This is an instance of curious Anglicisation. Area, 295
acres.

S.DD, (a) Détaipin Dinn-Sabaip. The meaning is somewhat
doubtful; it may be— Little Road of the Goats’ Agistment.”
More like however, it is—in allusion to its shape—“ Little Road of
the Goat’s Horn.” inn, as a noun, signifies the number of cattle
land can maintain. The présent lane, which is over a mile in
length, is, or rather was, also called Dotaipin 4 Dacargs— The

the Lark”; fuipeds is of course a Sky Lark, but it may be and
probably is here a lady’s name, scil:—fuireds Ni Longapsdin who
built, owned or occupied the castle and whose memory still survives
locally. Of course it is possible that the popular history of
furpéeos Ni L. has been manufactured in later times to suit the
place-name. The ctoi¢in, by the way, is a jutting platform of rock
upon which the castle stood. Area, 2,077 acres.

S.DD. (a) Ctaip an Sipgr0o— Trench of the Silver.”

from time to time as wrathful feelings were wont to be externated
in the days of old.

KiLcoraNn, Citt Cuapiain— Cuaran’s Church.” The church
site is in a field adjoining the road (north-and-south) on its western
side. Close-to the church site is a holy well, now dried up. The

Donegal under February gth, thus—" Cuapdn an Gaccna1 nDéipib
Muman,” &c. Area, 953 acres.

S.DD. (a) Moin na Measanndn— Bog of the Jacksnipe(?)”

monastic cell (#).:

Tullaghortan Parish.

THE designation Tutaé Opcasin (“ Ortan’s Height”) is of course
unecclesiastical in origin, and it is all but unknown locally. The
popular name is Caiptedn 4 Spdparg (“Grace’s Castle”), from a
William le Grace, grandson of Raymond le Gros, who, most probably,
erected the original castle. Tulloghortan is a rather diminutive,
Irish-speaking parish on the Co. Waterford boundary, containing in
all only a dozen townlands, the majority of which are of compara-
tively small extent. Sub-denominations are moderately numerous,
but neither they nor the townland names furnish much of special
interest. The ivy-clad church ruin is in a fair state of preserva-
tion. It shows the sacred edifice to have been in plan a small, plain
rectangle, lighted by a pointed east window. There are no
tombs or inscriptions of interest. The patronal feast is kept on
August 29th (Beheading of St. John the Baptist).

CASTLEGRACE, Caiptedn 4 Spdpaig— Grace’s Castle.” The
castle, only a comparatively small portion of which survives, was
of great size and strength, constructed like the Norman keeps of the
time (13th century) for defence rather than domestic convenience or
comfort. Nevertheless it continued to be occupied till the beginning
of the last century. It passed by marriage from the Graces to the
Powers; Lord Arnold le Poer, of witchcraft fame, held it and, on
the attainder of his son, it came into the possession of the De
Berminghams from whom finally it devolved to the Butlers, Barons
of Cahir. It was like Cahir garrisoned in 1647 by Inchiquin (y).

Tullaghmelan Parish.

THE Parish, which is about average size, lies on the north bank of
the Suir—along the Co. Waterford boundary line. Its name—
Tutaig Maotdin ( Maylon’s Height”)—does not appear eccle-
siastical, yet it is the tradition of the locality that Maolan was
the founder of the church. In fact, an effigy of stone still
preserved in the precincts of the ruin is said to be his. Curiously
554

enough the parish does not appear under this name in the
Elizabethan Visitations. These latter mention twice a parish
called Tallaghehy, which would correspond approximately with
Tullaghmelan, but which church or parish the regal visitators say
they were unable to find—“ignota est nobis.” The townland
names are of less than average interest, while sub-denominations
I have hardly been able to find at all.

Whitechurch Parish.

WHITECHURCH is quite a common parish name throughout Ireland.
The Irish form is Teampult Seat—sometimes also Anglicised—
Whitechapel. There is a second Whitechurch parish in this same
diocese of Lismore (see under Barony of Decies-Without-Drum).
Perhaps the sobriquet has reference to a figurative whiteness,
scil:—fame. More likely however the quality was physically
perceptible—the effect of whitewash possibly, or, as I am more
inclined to think—the result of decoration with glistening quartz
pebbles or crystals. The present parish is small and Irish is
generally understood, if not spoken. On the townland from which
the parish derives its name stands the ruined church, a plain
rectangular building which presents no architectural feature of
special interest.

TOWNLANDS.

GARRYROAN, Sapiparde an Rusd4in—" Garden of the Moor.”
On this townland are no fewer than seven lioses, five of which are
circular and one each, oval and angular. Area, 448 acres.

LoUGHACUTTEEN, Lo¢ «a Coitin—“ The Commonage Pond.”
Area, 147 acres.

S.D. “ Kildermody.” This is sometimes used as an alias for
the townland name. It is given more particularly however to
the chief farm in the division and appears to be a mere modern
name, applied for some reason which is not very evident, by a
former tenant; at any rate I could find no Irish form.

PEAHILL, Cnocén nas pire. Idem. Part of the townland—
the name unanglicised—is in the adjoining Par. of Tubrid, which
see. Area, 73 acres.

POULACULLEARE, Poll 4 Coitéapa— Quarry Hole.” Area;

for these latter are sometimes locally and contemptuously called
clop4in. Area, 1,700 acres.

S.D. Daite Nusa—" New Town.”

 
 

BARONY OF MIDDLETHIRD

(CO. TIPPERARY).

OR origin of the Barony name, see Middlethird, Co.
Waterford. The following parishes of the present
barony belong to the Diocese of Lismore, and—in the
theory that present Diocese and ancient territory
are co-extensive—to the former territory of Decies:—
Baptist Grange (part of), Donoghmore (part of),
Outeragh and Mora. In the case of the first three
each parish forms a peninsula, while Mora is portion

of a perfect island, within the adjoining Diocese of Cashel.

 

Baptist Grange Parish.

INVESTIGATION locally failed to bring to light the original Irish name.
The later Irish form was Dpdinpeac Coin Daipce— John the
Baptist’s Grange.” The parish did not share its designation with
atownland. Neither does the name appear—at any rate, under this
or any recognisable form—in the Visitation Books, though as early
as the 13th century it is—‘‘ De Grangia” (a). Dependence of the
church and parish upon a religious house is however suggested by
the second term of the official title, as above. The church ruin is
unusually interesting; it shows that the church was of comparatively
large size and of rather ambitious design architecturally. An
extraordinary feature is the triple chancel arch and the diminutive
character of each of the latter’s three members.

CARRIGEENSHARRAGH, Capitaigin Seapipatg—" The Foal’s Little

Britton, a detached portion of the parish. Though but a compara-
tively small townland it contains, beside the castle and church site
below enumerated, three lioses. Area, 291 acres.

“ Cloghnocody ” (D.S.).

DRUMDEEL, Ojiom Oit—“ Dil’s Ridge.’ Dil (a blind Druid)
is a rather remarkable personage in Irish legend. Under the
mistaken notion that the qualifying word here is viot (‘‘ payment”),
the name has been locally Anglicised ‘‘ Market Hill.” In fact the
name Drumdeel is now practically unknown locally. A very strange
thing appears to have happened here, i.e. loss to the modern diocese
of part of this townland. How, when or by what authority the
schism was effected it is difficult now to determine, though, of
course, local legends in explanation are not wanting. Area,
292 acres.

Mitrown Britton, Datte an Muittinn— The Mill Home-
stead ”; the qualifying term (name of a one-time owner) was added
to distinguish it from another Miltown in Mora Parish. Area,
736 acres.

S.DD. (a) Moyle River, Sput 4 Maotaite. See under Car-
rigeensharragh, above.

TOWNLANDS.

’ KILLERK, Citt Eipc— Erc’s Church.” Erc, the best known
bearer of the name, was a disciple of St. Patrick, by whom he was
made bishop and placed over the Church of Slane. The present
Erc is, however, more probably Erc of Domnach Mor, whose name
occurs on the 27th October in the Calendar of Oengus(b). With
much difficulty position of the early church was located, close to the
castle site (south side) on Michael Slattery’s farm. Area (in two
divisions), 473 acres.

Mora Parish.

Tuis Parish is completely disjoined from the body of the Diocese,
and, as has been already stated, forms, with a few small townlands
of Inishlounaght, an island within the Diocese of Cashel. The
origin or significance of the name is not quite plain; the Irish form
has not been preserved in the locality where, by the way, Irish is
entirely unknown. According to Joyce(c) Mora would = Maigpe,
the cumulative for mag, plain; at any rate, the name was written
six centuries since exactly as it is to-day. The parish is of some-
what greater than average extent, but owing to the generally large
size of the holdings, population is rather sparse. Remains of the
ancient church with its square tower stand in low land on the
townland of Moorstown (Ballinamona), whence the parish is some-
times called Moortownkirke. The kirke here is not, it is to be
noted, the Scotch word for church, but the Irish ceapc, a heath
hen. The poultry flavour of many of the townland and other
names of the parish cannot fail to strike the reader, e.g.
Acrenakirka, Leacanadrake, Claishnalachan &c.

S.D. Citt; early church site, now occupied by a farm-house.
For this church I got locally the name Kilfern.

CASTLEBLAKE, Uaith na Scei¢e— Cave of the Whitethorn
Bush.” From the existence here during the later period of the
penal times and up to, perhaps, seventy years since, of a thatched
chapel this whole district came to be popularly known as the
“ Parish of Castle Blake.” A chalice bearing the latter inscription
is in fact still in use in Lisronagh Church. Area, 533 acres.

‘“‘ Oneskeagh ” (D.S.R.).

S.D. Pott Lin— Flax Hole”; a pit in a field.

GaRRAUN, Sspipdn— Grove.” The by-road which now starts
from the. south-east angle of the townland and runs thence via
Rathcookera is portion of the ancient road from New Inn and the
west to Fethard, through Red City. It cannot now be traced
across Ballinamona bog, but it reappears at the west side of the
latter, and continues thence in the direction of the Graigue road.
Area, 343 acres.

“ Mooretownekirke ” (D.S.).

S.DD. (a) Lesca na Drake—“ The Drakes’ Glen Slope.”
(b) “ Drake’s Acre.”

(c) Crap na Lacan—“ The Ducks’ Trench.” This, and the
two foregoing, are now field names, known only to the occupier
and his employees, and it is a striking proof of the fenacity of
tradition that the three (two of them at least) were small townland
names in the mid-seventeenth century (e). The modern fields
are actually in these cases townlands of three hundred years ago!

OUTERAGH, Uasétap d¢6a0—" Upper Field.” The word acad,
so frequent in place names in other parts of Ireland, occurs within
the Decies only this once in a townland designation. On the town-
land are the site and some remains (detached pieces of masonry
evidently submitted to the action of gunpowder) of a strong castle,
also ruins of the ancient church of the parish and traces or remains
of no fewer than eight or nine lioses. Area, 1,033 acres.

WHITELAND, Feapann Paoitig—" White’s Land”; the official
Anglicised form is therefore incorrect and conveys a false meaning.
Area, 220 acres.

“ Farrenwitagh ” (D.S.R.).
 

BARONY OF MIDDLETHIRD

(CO. WATERFORD).

HE “ Third ” was an old Irish land division of variable
extent. Existence of a Middlethird pre-supposes
corresponding upper and lower divisions. We have
the “ Upper-third” in the barony of that name and
the “Lower-third’”? was doubtless, Gaultier, the
Cantred of the Danes. Middlethird being a maritime
and (till recently at any rate) Irish-speaking barony
is fairly rich in sub-denominations. We find the

name written Tpeana Meadanac in Keating’s poems. Our barony

contains in all eleven parishes with greater part of a twelfth.

 

Drumcannon Parish.

THE name is scarcely ecclesiastical. Of course, it may be that Conan
was the original founder of the church, as he or a namesake was
founder of two other ancient churches in the county. Locally how-
ever he is believed to have been anything but an early Irish saint—
the pagan warrior, companion of Fionn MacCumhail, noted for his
boasting and his bald head. For a description &c. of the ruined
church see Yournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological
Society, Vol. I., p. 134.

BALLynatrin, Daite an dscinn—“ Furze Abounding (or Sur-

CARRIGLONG, Cayys1s Longa—" Long’s Rock.” Longa was a
giant, according to local belief. Remains of his house (a small
earthfast cromlech with stone circle, not marked on the Ordnance
Map) survive. Area, 266 acres.

S.DD. (a) Cnoc Rarhap—“ Stout (Thick) Hill.”

(b) Dotap 4 Capartt Caoi¢é— Road of the Blind Horse”; an
ancient highway which ran from Gaultier indefinitely westwards;

Area (in two divisions), 520 acres.

“ Garrancrobally ” (D.S.R.).

DRuUMCANNON, Opom Conéin—“ Conan’s Ridge.” Conan was
a giant according to local story; between him and a brother giant,
Longa of Carriglong, there subsisted a feud or rivalry. At any rate
they indulged occasionally in interchange of compliments expressed
by the flinging at one another, across the valley which separated
their respective ridges, of great sandstone boulders. Sure enough
367

some of the identical stones, weighing many hundreds each, are still
to be seen in the valley below and on the hillside of Carriglong to
witness that popular tradition does not lie! Area, 293 acres.

“’Drumcronan ” (Tax. Pope Nich.).

S.D. (a) Sn Leaéte— The Monumental Cairn.” The word
is used to designate the pile of stones occasionally erected by the
roadside &c. to commemorate a murder or fatal accident which
occurred on the spot. Formerly the passer-by added a stone to
the pile but the custom has fallen into disuse; not many such
monuments now survive. In the present instance the name
designates the grass covered vacant patch at junction of the lane
to Drumcannon graveyard with Old Tramore—Waterford road.
The cairn itself has been “ improved ” off the face of the earth.

(b) O4n an Uttaig—" Field of the Wise (‘ Knowledgeable’) Man.”
Utcaeé is literally an Ulsterman, but the word in Waterford has
come to signify one learned in fairy or occult lore. Expatriated
Ulstermen, who settled at various places in the south during the
18th century, formed little colonies and practised such arts as
tinworking &c., to which, it is to be presumed, from the latter day
meaning of the word Utcac, they often added fortunetelling,
making of charms &c. See under Caher, Islandkane Par., below,
also under Ballinaspog, Lismore Par.; Kildanoge, Ballybacon Par. &c.

(c) Cloé Conéin—* The Practice-Stone of Conan”; a boulder
lying on the inside of a fence by the road and marked on the
Ordnance Map.

(d) Dotan na Leacc—* Road of the Leacht.”

(e) Paine 4 PdAtpuin— Pattern Field”; here was held the
annual festive gathering on the occasion of the patronal feast
(September 14th, Exaltation of the Holy Cross).

(f) Sn Mearhpse (mopanpaig)—" The Fallow”; the name of a
field.

Duacu, 0u4é, most probably Oub-dt—“ Black Ford.” An
ancient roadway, now obliterated, entered the townland at south-
east angle across a shoulder of black bog. Area, 404 acres.

S.DD. (a) Ppopc—" Embankment”; a curious square mound,
evidently site of an encampment; it is close to the north boundary
368

of the townland. This place, O’Donovan asserts, was used “as a
battery” in 1798. The mound is, however, much older. Cannon
balls &c. have been found on the site, and tradition has it that a
barracks stood here in the time of Elizabeth.

(6) Daite and Tovapi na Cporre—‘* Homestead ” and “ Well”

(b) Oopur Oub—" Black Door ”’; a frowning cliff.

(c) Otleén Coite— Island of the Skiff”; a headland with a
very narrow neck, across which a double entrenchment of. earth is
thrown. The earthen embankments are about 30 yards in length
by 6 feet high and 12 feet broad. A space of 8 yards separates the
walls, which enclose, roughly, an area of an acre. O’Donovan
states that the foundation of a stone and mortar fort was visible
here at the date of the survey. Unfortunately the enclosing fence
is at present in a very ruinous condition.

KILLUNE, Cilt €Cogain—“ Owen’s Church.” The name @ogain
was equated with John, in later times. The site of the citt or citlin
is close to, and slightly to the north-east of, the moat near Mr.
Power’s farm-house. Area, 353 acres.
569

“ Killowen ” (Inq. Jas. 1.).

S.D. péipe sn lapta— The Earl’s Field”; origin of the
name is not remembered. This field is so fertile that the Svar
Sat6neac did not think it beneath her to patronise it for a couple
of nights. The Star Saibneac was a legendary cow which
pastured on only the richest spots in Munster. She yielded as
much milk as filled whatever vessel was used by the milker, till
an evil-minded woman from the neighbourhood of Ballylaneen
attempted to milk her dry by using a sieve, whereupon the animal
in disgust walked away out to sea, and has never since been seen
by mortal eyes.

KNOCKANDUFF, Cnocén Oubt—“ Little Black Hill.” Area,
266 acres.

“ Knockanduff als Carrigvantary ” (A.S. & E.).

LiscELan, Lior fsotdin—" Faolan’s Lios.” A Faolan, perhaps

S.D. Dedpna Ourde— Yellow Gap”; a designation rather
frequently met with.

MoNLoum, M6in Lom—“ Bare Bog.” Area, 47 acres.

TRAMORE Burrow, dn Oasibce—" The Sandhill.” "Oarbée
is a variant of 0Absac; we have its genitive in Sopt na Vaibee,
name of a townland in Ringagoonach Par.; ‘“ Reet na Oaib¢ée ”
is the tune played by the phantom band of the “Seahorse,”
still occasionally heard on the Burrow. The ‘Seahorse’ trans-
port was wrecked in the Bay, with enormous loss of life (363
persons), on January 30th, 1816. The ‘“ Burrow”’ bears traces of
occupation by a prehistoric race (probably palceolithic). Kitchen
middens are sometimes exposed after storms, and cores and flakes,
as well as fragments of red-deer antlers &c., are found from time
to time. Area, 217 acres.

S.DD. (a) The Cush (O.M.), &n Coip—“ The Place Lying-

who while gathering sea fowls’ eggs was killed by a fall down
the cliff), Twelve Birds, Little Island, The Stags, Oyen (Uatthan ?)
Rock, &c., &c.

Dunhill Parish.

Ir is hardly necessary to state that the parish-name is not of
ecclesiastical origin. The ancient parish church, erected almost
contemporaneously with the castle, was to a certain extent
an appendage to the latter, under the shadow of which it
stood. It dates therefore from the first period of Anglo-Norman
occupation, when it was founded to replace the small Celtic
churches of Killowen, Kilcannon, Killsteague &c. For a descrip-
tion of the church ruins &c. see Fournal of Waterford and S.E.
Ireland Archeological Society, Vol. 1., p. 139 &c. The parish, which
is maritime and more or less. Irish-speaking, belongs not to the
Waterford, but to the Lismore Diocese.

Dunhill stream, which here discharges itself into the sea. Area,

men
374

S.DD. (a) Cnoc « Cinn—“ Hill of the Head”; from a fancied
resemblance toa human skull; the name is Anglicised —Knockahead,
by which name in fact the whole townland is, or was, till recently,
more commonly known.

(6) D4n ns Crusai¢e—" Field of the Heap (of Turf ?).”

Benvoy, Deinn (Loc. for Nom.) Ourde— Yellow Peak.” I
got Cnoc4n Ruad as an older name of this place. Probably one
of the two names is a sub-dendmination of the other. Area, 193 acres.

$.DD. I.—Coastwise:—

(a) Morageeha (O.M.), M6pad Saoite. Meaning unknown:
possibly— Increasing (rising) of Wind ”; portion of beach on west
side of Benvoy strand.

(6) Carrignamusly Rocks (O.M.), Céppaig na Murpraitrde—
“ Rock of the Mussells ”; it is four chains in width and lies under
low water mark at south east corner of the strand.

(d) An Rinn— The Headland”; applied here to a cliff.

(e) Fatt an ditinn—“ Cliff of the Furze.”

(f) Thay Leatan—“ Wide Strand.”

II.—Inland :—

(g) Tobsp na SCocan— Well of the Straws.”

(h) Dedpna ’n CLlampaiti— Gap of the Dispute.”

(2) Pde na Masotatacdin—" Field of the Curds”; so called
perhaps from little hills or ridges.

(J) Sopt Sparoin— Garden of the Heavy (Wet) Sod.”

(k) D4n 4 Propaipe-—“ The Piper’s Field.”

CaSTLECRADDOCK, Caipledn Cpa0615— Craddock’s Castle.”
David Craddock lodged a petition (1290) against Maurice Russell,
Sheriff of Waterford for having ‘broke open gates and doors
of his castle &c.” (Records of Ireland—Sweetman’s Calendar).
Area, 361 acres.

“Castlecrodock ” (Inq. Jas. I.).

S.DD. (a) St. Martin’s Well (O.M.), does not appear to be
known locally, although O’ Donovan states on authority of tradition
that a “ pattern”? was formerly held here.
375

(b) Tovap Daite thie Gadmoin — “ Well of FitzEdmond’s
Homestead.”

CooLRaTTIN, Cait Raicin— Corner of (the) Ratteen.” “ Rat-
teen” was a kind of homé¢spun, for manufacture of which—
presumably from its name—the place was once noted. I have
been furnished with the suspiciously poetic “ ancient’ name of
Cumps Tuinn—(“ Fragrant Bog Place”) for the townland or
perhaps for part of it. Area, 72 acres.

‘“‘Coolerettin ” (D.S.R.).

CRINALISK, Cin Stairs. Meaning unknown. The Down
Survey Reference makes the name ‘ Clonalisk,” while the Acts of
Settlement &c. write it “ Clonaliskey.” From these two forms one
might conclude that the first elementof thenameis cluain, ameadow.
The second word may be aitt-uipse, “ of the water (emitting)
rock.” Area, 246 acres.

CroueH, dn Criae— The Heap (i.e. Conical Hill).” Area,
81 acres.

DUNHILL, Otin-ditL—" Fort of the Rock”; from the prehistoric
earthen fortress which crowned the cliff on which the castle now
stands. The remarkably situated feudal fortress, now in ruin,
was the chief seat of the Barons of Dunhill. John Power, the last
Baron, was alive in 1652, and the present representative of the line
is unknown, but should probably be found somewhere in West
Waterford—say in the neighbourhood of Clashmore. Giles,
daughter of Lord Decies, and wife of John Power aforesaid,
defended Dunhill against the Parliamentarians. On its capitula-
tion the magnificent pile, worthy of a better fate, was blown up by
gunpowder, the Baron, with eighteen of his followers, transplanted
into Connaught, his estates declared forfeited, and granted—the
Dunhill portion—to an ancestor of the present Earl of Enniskillen.
On the townland is an earthtfast cromlech built into a boundary fence
and not recorded on the Ordnance Map.

Jounstown, Daite Seagain. Idem. Area, 226 acres.

‘“Johnstowne ” (Inq. Jas. I.).
3576

KILLongE, Citt Cogain—" Eoghan’s Church.” This is one of
four early churches, within the county, which bear the same name.
Area, 295 acres.

“ Killowen” (A.S.E.).

S.DD. (a) &n Cittinea¢— The Little Burial Ground ” (lit. the
little church site); the name of a field in which is a circular,
primitive-church enclosure. ;

(c) Catparg and D4n na faitte— “ Rock” and “ Field”
respectively, “ of the Cliff.”

(d) Tovap na Lépac DSine— Well of the White Mare.”

KILLSTEAGE, Citt Sterds. I have heard it pronounced thus,
though O’Donovan writes it C. Scéige. Sterds means a measure
of land (compare Staigue fort, Co. Kerry &c.); it is more probable
however that it is, in the present instance, a personal name—the
name of the early church founder. Area, 302 acres.

“ Killstage ” (D.S.R.). “ Kilsteogy ” (Inq. Jas. I.).

S.DD. (a) Reitigin— Little Graveyard”; site of the early
church from which the townland is named. The site in question
was discovered with great difficulty—near verge of a bog on the
farm of Robert Mooney. Fence &c. and almost the very memory
of the sacred place have disappeared. Close by is a standing
pillar-stone.

(b) Sopc 4 fusptarg—" Garden by (of) the Weedy Marsh-
Edge.”

(c) Dan na Spdroe—" Field of the Street (Village).” The field
and name remain, but the street survives only in the field name,

(d) D4n na Mecdn—“ Field of the Chimneys.” Mucén is
also a disease from which horses suffer.

(€) Pina na Lady—‘ The (Land) Lady’s Pound”; a field in
which formerly stood a castle.

(f) Tobat thie Céin— Son of Cian’s Well.”

KiLcannon, Citt Conain—“ Conan’s Church”; the second of
three early churches in the county commemorating this otherwise
377

forgotten church builder. The church site, identified with difficulty,
is close to the extreme northern angle of the townland. No remains
of the church survive. Compare Drumcannon, also Kilcannon,
Whitechurch Par. Area, 240 acres.

S.DD. (a) &n cSeana Spdro—" The Old Village.”

(6) Dn 4 TSagaipc— The Priest’s Field.”

(c) Dannra— Glebe”; the word appears to be a corruption
of manse.

Knocaneg, Cnocén—“ Little Hill’; adjoins a townland of same
name in the neighbouring barony of Decies. Area, 182 acres.

. “Knockan-Corbally ” (D.S.R.).

the Stook (Pyramid).”

Small Pointed Stake).” Area, 257 acres.

‘“* Lyshvirrane ” (Inq. Jas. I.).

S.D. Opanaip—" Fallow Fields.”

Smoor (in two divisions—more and beg), Smtp—" Rubbish ”
or ‘‘ Embers”; a name probably derived from a pile or mound of
stones—remains of a dismantled or burned building. This place was
the seat of a branch of the Power family deriving descent from the
Dunhill house. Area, 370 acres.

$.D. Citt—" Ancient Church Site.”

SHANACLONE, Seana Cluain—* Old Meadow.” Area, 361 acres.

S.DD. (a) &n Ceapac— The Tillage Plot.” Ceapaé was
better known, half a century ago, than the townland name proper.
The eighteenth century thatched church of the parish stood here,
and the site for a while and, in fact, till quite recently, gave its
popular name to the parish.

(6) Cappats 4 Clorg—“ Rock of the Bell”; so named from its
shape.

(c) Steann Caros—" Teige’s Glen.”

(d) Dan 4 Fusptaig—" Field of the Weedy Marsh-Edge.”
378

(e) &n Lesét— The Monument ”; it marks the spot whereon
one of the old Powers of this place was accidentally killed.

(Sf) S4pparoe 4 cSaigo1upia— The Soldier’s Garden.”

(g) D4n « Liag4in—" Field of the Pillar Stone.”

SAVAGETOWN, UDaile an Oiobsipte (cSabéipte)—“ Savage’s
Homestead.” Area, 201 acres.

S.D. Cappats O 5Cuttinn— O’Cullin’s Rock.”

Islandkane Parish.

Tus Parish derives its name from the townland on which stood
the ancient church, as the townland in turn took its title from an
entrenched headland which violence of the ocean has wrested
from the mainland within modern times. Church and parish were
impropriate in the Commandery (Knights Templars) of Killure, and
passed at the suppression into the hands of Sir Richard Aylward.
An early church at Killfarrasy probably preceded the Island-
kane foundation and served the spiritual wants of the district
previous to the Invasion. For a description of the church ruins
see Fournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological Society,
Vol. I., pp. 136 &c.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYGARRAN, Daite an Sapipain—“ Homestead of the Grove.”
Area, 224 acres.

BALLYSCANLAN, Datte Ui Scanntdain—“ O’Scanlon’s Home-
stead.” Area, 881 acres.

S.D. Tobap 4 Comapts— Well of the Mark.”

CaHER, Catatpi— Stone Fort.” No trace of the structure
remains. In fact, with perhaps a single exception, no cathair now
survives in Co. Waterford, though the occurrence of the word in
place names proves that stone forts were once fairly common
therein. Area, 168 acres.

S.DD. (a) D&n sn Utcaig—" The Ulsterman’s Field.” See
under Drumcannon townland, Par. of the same name.
379

(6) O4n a Leapa— The Lios Field.” This lios it was which
probably gave the townland its name. The name is of extremely
frequent occurrence, and has not, as a rule, been noted.

(c) Cappais-Deanps Dess— Barri’s Little Rock.”

CARRICKAVRANTRY, Capyiaig 4 Opoinnteopaig— Rock of the
Quern-Stone Maker.” Mill stone material in inexhaustible quantity
abounds. There is acromlech (not recorded on Ordnance Map) with
small stone circle, on the townland. The greater portion of this
townland—in two sub-divisions—is in Kilbride Parish. Area, 407
acres.

“‘ Carrigbrontore ” (Inq. Eliz.).

S.DD. (a) &n Té6c4p—" The Causeway ”; a bog-crossing now
transformed into a regular road.

(b) Ns Tusip— The Cattle Fields.” The word tuap in place
name derivation is generally rendered “a bleach green”; in the
Decies however it hardly ever carries that meaning.

FENOR, fionnbap & fionnbapac. Meaning uncertain—
probably, ‘“ White Plain.” Area, 411 acres.

ISLANDKANE, Oite4n ti Céin— O’Kane’s Island.” O’Kane—
was one of the minor families of the Decies. The present is one
of the couple of instances in Co. Waterford wherein the name o1tean
is applied to a portion of the mainland. The second is in Stradbally
parish. In both instances the townland has an entrenched headland
—which was doubtless the name-giving oite4n. Islandkane and
Islandtarsney are almost certainly sub-divisions of one original
oitedn townland. Area, 613 acres.

S.DD. (a) Black Door (O.M.), Dopur Oub. Idem.

(6) Boat Strand (O.M.), Tpargy na mOAv.

(c) Eagle Rock (O.M.), Cappats an lotaip. Idem.

(d) Sheep Island (O.M.). This is now really two islands; the
innermost is Oitedn na sCaopac— Island of the Sheep (pl.),” and
the other Oitedn na 6fpanncac—“ Island of the Rats..” Up to
about sixty-five years ago they were joined to the mainland. On
the islets, as well as on the mainland immediately adjoining, are
some foundations of cloghans, or primitive stone houses of beehive
380

type—the only remains of the kind so far discovered in Waterford—
and site of the clochans is surrounded by a strong earthen fence
of the lios type. The enclosed space, of which the now detached
island was part, constituted the O’Kane Island.

(€) Pott 4 Tovac— Tobacco Hole”; reminiscent of the days
of smuggling.
. (f) Site of “ Telegraph, Station ” erected nearly a century ago
when rumours of a French invasion filled the air.

(g) Taz 4 Corpa— Strand of the Large Box.”

(kh) Ottedn ce Dapca— Burke’s Island.” Mr. J. H. Lloyd,
in his notes to a poem (“Céic Mumain,” R.IA. MS., 23, N. 10.)
which he contributes to “Eriu,”’ Vol. II. p. 49, has fallen into
a serious mistake regarding this island. Emanating from so
capable a scholar, Mr. Lloyd’s error is doubly calculated to mislead
and correction is doubly necessary. Mr. Lloyd states that
Burke’s Island, off the coast of Middlethird, = O1ted4n Ui Omc, and
upon the alleged identity he builds the theory that the ancient
O’Brics of Decies are represented by the modern Burkes of
Waterford. Itis not our province here to account for disappearance
of the O’Brics from their ancient patrimony but, be the explanation
what it may, the Burke-ex-O’Bric theory as based upon the argument
from the name of Burke’s Island cannot stand: (1) O1tedn De
Daipics and O1tedn Ui Dyuc are not at all identical; asa matter of fact
the two islands are separated by two or three miles of coast and
tons of salt water innumerable; one (the former) is off the coast of
Middlethird and the other off Decies. (2) Oite4n Oe Dupca
has never been called Oitedn Ui Opec, nor Oitedn Ui Dye,
‘“ Burke’s Island.”

ISLANDTARSNEY, Oitedn Tappna — ‘Island Across (over
against).” Area, 492 acres.

“ Ballinkeely als Woodtown ” (D.S.R.).

$.DD. (a) Cnockrua (O.M.), Cno¢ Ruso— Red Hill.”

(b) fartt an Dotapin—“ Cliff of the Little Road.”

Kilburne Parish.

THE small parish does not share its name (of ecclesiastical origin)
with a townland as the vast majority of parishes do. Consequently
the name (Citt Doipyunn) is not in popular use. Neither is
meaning of the name, by any means, clear. O’Donovan renders it
—Church of the Rocky Place. Dineen gives voipne as the genitive
of Doipesnn. Apparently there is a double genitive. The parish
BB
582

is referred to as:—“ Kilburren als Churche Burrin” in an Inquisition
of James I., “ Kilburne” in the Regal Visitation Books of the early
r7th century, and “Boryn” and “Breyne” in the Taxation of
Pope Nicholas (1302-6). For an account of the ruined church &c.
see Fournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological Society,
Vol. I., p. 165.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYCASHIN, UDaite Ui Caipin—‘‘ O’Cashen’s Homestead.”

MUNMAHOGE, Muin (also sometimes Dun) Mucoise—" Wild
Vetch Neck (or Flat).” Near the north-east angle of the townland
stands a cromlech which has never hitherto been noted. Only the
cist remains, and this is much mutilated. It measures some 12'x 7’.
Dun, in the second form, is a corruption of mui, a neck of land.
As bun could, and frequently did, become moun in the mouth of the
illiterate Irish speaker, muin might become bun as m has actually
become b in Kilbunny, Guilcagh Par. Portion of the townland is in

(d) Ceatpama Laip—"! Middle Quarter.”

(e) Cait Dpo—“ Millstone Corner.” There was formerly a
mill here.

(f) Cestparha na nSeadna—" Geese Quarter”; this and the
three immediately preceding are names of sub-divisions.

(g) Maot Laipn—" Middle Hill.”

(h) Tobap Ui Cpocaig— O’Crotty’s Well.” The individual
here commemorated appears to have followed the profession of his
more famous namesake of “ Crotty’s Lake” connection.

(i) D4n a Lo¢a—“ Pond Field”; there is no pond—only a
well—now.

(J) Dan 4 Cnoicin Ruaro—“ Field of the Red Hillock.”

Kilbride Parish.

Like Islandkane this church and parish were dependencies of
the Preceptory of Killure. Unfortunately there is no evidence
(beyond tradition of a worthless character) to show whether the
Brigid commemorated be the patroness of Ireland, or whether—if
she be—St. Brigid herself visited and founded this church. A
description of the church remains will be found in Yournal of
Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological Society, Vol. 1., p. 137.
The parish contains only three townlands, with portion of two
others.

TOWNLANDS.

CARRIGAVANTRY. See under ‘Islandkane Parish.” Area,
415 acres.

CULLEN CasTLE, Caiplein Cuittinn—“ Castle of (the) Holly,
(i.e. holly surrounded).” The castle, which is small and square,

stands on an outcrop of rock. From its locality &c. it would’ (|

appear to have been an out castle of the Powers of Dunhill. Area,
390 acres.

“Two Villages of Quillans ” (Ing. 32 Eliz.).

S.DD. (a) Sruhna bannaght (O.M.), Sput na mOeannaéc—

period. According to popular account this was the residence of a
branch of the Powers. Of the 79 land owners transplanted
from Co. Waterford in 1653-4 no fewer than 19 (24 %) were
Powers.

(c) Cappaig 4 tSio0s— Rock of the Silk.”

(d) Tobap Naoith Owg0e—" St. Brigid’s Well.”

SPORTHOUSE, Tig nd Spoipc. Area, 339 acres.

S.D. Hill of Sport (O.M.).

Killotteran Parish.

Tue Parish derives its name from the townland on which stood
the ancient church, and the name itself is ecclesiastical—signifying
the Church of Odran, or Otteran as it is more commonly Anglicised.
Oran was adopted as patron of their new diocese by the Ostmen of
Waterford on the consecration of their first bishop in 1096. There
has been much unnecessary discussion as to the identity of this
Otteran. The Irish martyrologies tell plainly enough that the saint
of that name honoured on October 27th was a monk of Hy, a
kinsman of St. Columba, and the first person to be buried in the
monastic cemetery (called from him Reitts OOpain) on the holy
islet. Tradition and practice of the Church of Waterford assume
Oran to have been a bishop. When we come to enquire the con-
nection of Oran with the Ostman city and diocese we find ourselves
on less certain ground. The present writer’s theory is—that as Relig-
Odhrain was the great cemetery of the Norsemen, whither they
carried their dead chieftains and great men for burial from all parts
of northern Europe, the Ostmen of Waterford chose for their
patron the titular guardian of their ancestors’ ashes. (c) See
Waterford Archeological Fournal, Vol. 1., pp. 171 &c., for description
&c. of the ancient church.

TOWNLANDS.

Bawnpaw, Dén O41t—" David’s Field.” O’Donovan writes
the personal name, Oeagard, which might be rendered—‘ Dea’s.”
Area, 63 acres.

BaLuinaMona. See Ballinamona in “ Kilbarry Parish.”
Area, 33 acres.

CARRIGPHEIRISH, Cappers Prapaip— “ Pierce’s Rock”; an
eminence to rear of Carrigpheirish House. This rock is referred
to in Keating’s Poems (d) and was at one time known as “ Full View.”
Area, 140 acres.

GRACEDIEU, Spdp O6— Grace of God.” The local Irish
name is merely a translation of the Norman-French, semi-monastic
name given by the 12th century settlers. Area, 623 acres.

“ Gracedue ” (D.S. Map &c.).

S.DD. (a) Grannagh Ferry (O.M.); the place from which the
ferry-boat plied to Grannagh Castle, on the Ossory site. This ferry
service ceased with the erection of the present bridge.

(6) “ Eeltahan’s Field.”

(c) “ Old House Field,” wherein are some traces of a camp.

(d) “ Long Lane.”

(e) ‘‘ Long Reach”; in the river.

KILLOTTERAN, Citt Odpdin—" Oran’s Church.” Area, 282 acres.

KnockHousE, Tig an Cnuic— House of the Hill.’ On the
townland, near its north-west angle, is a fine well, the water of
which is believed to be efficacious in curing headache. Area,
643 acres.

S.DD. (a) Dotaipin 4 Siurmaipe— Little Road of the Fir-Tree
Screen.” The name is now canis a non canendo, for the trees have
disappeared.

(b) Sn Craipin— The Little-Plank (Bridge) ”; the name is
applied to the stream dividing this townland from Woodstown.

Lismore, Lior Mop—“Great Lios.” Area, 155 acres.

587

S.DD. (a) Toba 4 Pticin— The Little Pooka’s Well.” The
‘“‘pooka” appears to be a borrowed sprite; there is no trace of
him in Celtic literature.

(b) An Liop Moy; the field from which the townland is named.
All that remains is the circular outline of the great fort, traceable in
a field by side (south) of main road.

(c) Tobap Ui Ouib—* O’ Duff’s Well.”

Area, 437 acres.

S.DD. (a) Old Court (O.M.), Seana-Ciipc. Idem.

(e) Ctoé an Oip—* Stone of the Gold ”; a large rock on the
river bank beside which, the story goes, merchants of Waterford
buried a quantity of treasure on the approach of Cromwell.

Kilmeadan Parish.

Tuis is a parish of large extent, embracing no fewer than twenty-
three townlands. Within its area are the identified sites of at least
five early church foundations, and there possibly remain others
undiscovered. Portion of the parish, scil:—three townlands, lies
within the Barony of Upperthird. For a description &c. of
the ancient church see Fournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland
Archeological Society, Vol. I., pp. 170 &c.

TOWNLANDS.

Apamstown, Daite Soaith. Idem. From a document given
by Theiner (4), it is evident that Poltomartyn (Pott Tige M4pcain ?)

 

(d) “Vet. Monumenta ”—Pius II., A.D. 1459.
588

was another name for this place. It was apparently church land—
perhaps a grange—and on it stood a castle. Area, 247 acres.

‘‘Poltomartyn ais Ballyadam” (apud Theiner, ut supra).
Ballyadam and Adamstowne (A.S.E.).

S.DD. (a) “St. Martin’s Well” (O.M.). It is close by site of
the ancient castle. “ Rounds” were made here up to sixty years
ago and the well was reputed specially efficacious in cure of head-
ache. Inserted in the masonry of the well is a curious carved stone
of which a duplicate will be found beneath a thorn bush in adjoining
field. Of the castle not a stone remains. In another field—
separated by a road from the last—stands a remarkable pillar stone,
about 7 feet in height and uninscribed.

(b) “ The Sweep ”; a sub-division.

(c) Site of church and cemetery, to rere of forge, at junction of
three roads.

(d) D4n 4 Caiptedin—* The Castle Field.” _

AMBERHILL, Steann 4 Ropair— Glen of the Amber.” Area,
448 acres.

S.DD. (a) Cappaisgin a Muctaig—“ Little Rock of the Pig-
fold.” :

(6) Muittean OBAn—" White Mill.”

Batiypurr, Daite Ui Owb—“ O’ Duff's Homestead.” Contrast
with Ballyduff, Lismore and Mocollop Par.; latter is Datte Out—
“ Black Homestead.” Area, (in two divisions), 870 acres.

“ Ballyduff ” (Inq. Jas. I.).

S.DD. (a) Tobap Caoé—" Blind (dried up) Well.”

(6) Ddtaipin Stac— Dirty Little Road”; now nearly oblit-
erated.”

Biacknock, &n Cnoc Out—“ The Black Hill.” Area, 288
acres.

S.D. Paine na Slaire Sabnaige—" Field of the Legendary
- Cow.” (See Killune, Drumcannon Par. &c.). The tracks (peculiarly
shaped natural markings) of the cow are shown on a flat rock, also
the circular impression of the milking pail. This Star Saibneac
legend smacks of hoary Indo-European antiquity. It is to be noted
that Celtic legends in which, as in the present instance, a colour
389

represents an animal or man, are generally of great age—nature
myths, in fact.

CARRICKADUSTRA, Capyiaig 4 Dortaipe— Rock of the Swag-
gerer.” Area, 226 acres.

S.DD. (a) St na Sac—" Ford of the Bags.”

(6) St Vaite Liam—* Williamstown Ford.”

COOLAGADDEN, Cit an fesodin—“ Corner of the Streamlet.”
Area, 115 acres. :

CULLINAGH, &n Curtteanac— The Holly-Abounding Place.”
Area, 365 acres.

“ Cullinaghe ” (Inq. Eliz.).

DaRRIGLE, &n VOespgait. Meaning not quite clear. The
present appears to be one of a class of archaic names into which the
Indo-European root arg (silver) enters. Compare Araglen, Dargle
&c. In each case there is a stream, from the silvery colour of which
is borrowed the idea which underlies the name. At Darrigle lived the
famous duellist, called from his residence “ Paopac na Deapsate.”
No trace of the house survives and it was only with difficulty that
the site was ascertained—midway, on the hillslope, between the
new and old Kilmeadan—Portlaw roads. Many stories of the
fire-eater are current in the locality. Area, 795 acres.

“Dargil” (D.S.R.). ‘‘ Darrigall” (Egmont MSS. Vol. I., p. 118).

S.DD. (a) dn tSeana Spdro— The Old Village.”

(b) “ The Camp Field”; wherein—so popular story has it—
Cromwell encamped.

(ce) &n Cittin—" The Little Church ”; site of an early church,
on Quinn’s farm.

DooneEEN, &n Ouinin—‘ The Little Fort.” O’Donovan writes
it oundn, but I have heard it as above. The townland, which is
entirely included in Whitfield demesne, is only partially in this
parish. Nicholas Madden of ‘‘ Downeing ” was proceeded SgAtnee
for arrears of tithes in 1653. Area, 72 acres.

GORTACLADE, Soft s Toctsavo—" Garden of the Dug-out
Pit.” ‘James Power was seised of ‘ Gorteslyade’”’ (Inq. apud
Clonmel, July 1640). Area, 500 acres.
590

S.DD. (a) Daite na sCuac—" Homestead of the Cuckoos.”
This sub-denomination is better known than the townland name
and is not unfrequently used for the latter. Rev. Dr. Henebry
makes it—‘ Homestead of the Bowls,” basing his rendering on the
presence in the townland of a large boulder with four or five
artificial basins of bullan character (/).

(b) Daite an Scdéitin— Homestead of the Little Shadow.”
The shadow is thrown by a high hill, behind the east shoulder of
which lie the two farms which were formerly known exclusively by
this name. Both 0. Scditin and D. na sCuse may be regarded as
submerged townland names—both older probably than the present
official name.

(c) Pott Drew— Drew’s Pool”; a hole in the river wherein
the person from whom it is called was drowned.

(d) &n Cittineac— The Early Church Site”; a field beside
the old Waterford road on the south side of the townland. In this
field lies the large stone with basin-like cavities already alluded to.

(e) Toba E1lip Sabsa—" Alice (Wife) of the Smith’s Well”;
close to last.

(f) Dan 4 thaeéin—* Field of the Souterrain (lit. Chimney).”
The Souterrain has been dug up and “improved” away by the
occupying tenant.

(g) “ The Tobacco Fields”; about ten acres in extent, wherein
seventy years since, or thereabout, heavy crops of the ‘‘ weed” were
grown.

(A) Canpats 4 Opéasain—" Rock of the Toy (or Doll)”; so
called, presumably, from a pillar-stone or cairn on summit which
in the distance resembled a man. Such stones or piles on
Co. Waterford mountains are generally called “fin Onéige,’”’
i.e., apparent men, but sometimes Opéasdin, as in the present
instance.

KILMEADAN, Citt Miaoain—* Maidan’s (My Ita’s) Church.”
Miav4n resolves into mo-ioe-4n. The mo and 4n are merely
particles of endearment. In 1285 Walter De La Hays received

 

(f) “Waterford Star” newspaper (Irish column), some date in 1903.

grant of a free warren and of a weekly market on Monday at his
manor of “ Kilmidan” (Chart. 13, Edward I.). Area, 170 acres.

S.DD. (a) Whelan’s Bridge (O.M.), Opoicead Ui Faotdin.

(b) &n Leaca SLeamnnuigte— The Slipping Glen Slope.”

(c) “Old Court,” An cSeana Ciipic. Idem. Thisisasub-division,
regarded locally as an independent townland. The ‘ Old Court”
in question was the mansion—only a solitary gable of it now
stands—which replaced the ancient castle of the Barons of
Dunhill and Kilmeadan. This ruin, on the river bank, is familiar
to all travellers by rail from Waterford to Dungarvan.

KILMOYEMOGE, C1LU mo O1om61g—“ (St.) Dimoc’s Church.” (g)
The site of this early church is an untilled patch in a field by east
side of the avenue between railway and public road. Some years
since, when the church site was cut through to form the avenue
alluded to, a bull4n of sandstone, was unearthed. As _ the
object has not been removed it may still be inspected on the spot.
Area (in two divisions), 895 acres.

‘ Killmoyenoge ” (Egmont MSS., Vol. I., p. 118).

S.DD. (a) Tobernanangle (O.M.), Tobap ns ndinseat—* The
Angels’ Well”; a holy well, still occasionally visited.

(b) “The Mote ”; near site of the ancient church. This mound
was twenty feet in height a few years since.

KNOCKANAGH, Cnocénat— (Place) Abounding in Hillocks.”
Greater portion of the townland is in Lisnakill Par., and the
whole is included in Mount Congreve demesne. Area, 57 acres.

Mr. ConGREVE, Cnoc an S046—" Hill of the (Good) Luck”
(O’Donovan); the name is now however forgotten locally. The
townland is partly in Lisnakill Par. Area, 118 acres.

Newtown, Datte Nua— New Village.” Area, 142 acres.

S.D. Steann Deas—“ Little Glen.”

Kilronan Parish.

LixE Kilcop, Drumrusk and Monamintra, this parish contains
only a single townland, from which it derives its name. See
Fournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological Society, Vol. L.,
pp. 166 &c. for some notice of the Church remains. There is
a second parish of the name in Co. Waterford—but in Diocese of
Lismore.

TOWNLAND.

KILRONAN, Citt Rondin—“ Ronan’s Church.” There are
several saints of the name, Ronan, in the Irish martyrologies, but,
since the date of the patronal feast has been forgotten in the present
instance, we cannot determine to which of them this foundation is
due. Area, 546 acres.

an interesting bullan with circular basin, and 40 or 50 yards to
south east of the enclosure is a holy well.

Newcastle Parish.

THE ecclesiastical antiquities will be found briefly described by
the present writer in Waterford Archeological Fournal, Vol. I.
pp. 169-170. The parish derives its name from a castle which
formerly stood on a rocky ledge close to and overlooking the
ruined church. Of the castle now hardly a vestige remains.

TOWNLANDS.

ARDEENLOUN, Syv0 Ui h-Anntian—" O’Hanlon’s Height.” On
this townland are the ancient ruined church of the parish and the
site of the castle which gave church and parish its name. Close
by the ruins are a couple of standing pillar stones, one of which
probably once bore an ogham inscription. Area (in two divisions),
505 acres.

“ Ardinlone ” (A.S.E.).

BALLyGaRRON, Datte an Sapipdin— Homestead of the Grove.”
On this townland the Ordnance Map shows two medium sized
circular lioses ; these are really cathairs or of a character intermediate
between the cathair and lios, and the same may be said of a similar
enclosure in a line with these two—on the adjoining townland of
Lisahane. Area, 410 acres.

“ Ballygarrenbeg ” (A.S.E.).

CaARRICKANURE, Cappiaig An 1ubaip— Rock of the Yew Tree.”
Area, 631 acres.

James Ronan, whose tomb may be seen in Newcastle graveyard.
Area, 304 acres.

KILDERMODY, Cilt O1apma0a—" Diarmaid’s Church.” The
site of the cilt is not marked on the Ordnance Maps; it will be
found, surrounded by traces of its circular fence, close to
northern boundary of the townland, on Whelan’s farm. Area,
227 acres.

“ Killdermudy ” (Ing. Jas. I.).

KNOCKADERRY, Cnoc 4 Ooipe— Hill of the Oak Grove.”

paying no rent; in the present instance the name is applied to a
space of about 15 acres which went free with a quarry.

Reiske Parish.

THE name of the townland on which the church stood gives its
name to the parish. This latter, which is of considerable extent
(fifteen townlands), contains much rocky and broken land, with
fertile patches between the ridges. As may be expected therefore
rock names abound. The church ruin and some interesting tombs
in and around it, will be found described in Waterford Archeological
Fournal, Vol. 1., pp. 162-4.

public execution. In the large ancient house at top of the road (on
north side) lived the distinguished churchman, Dr. Hussey, Bishop
402

of Waterford (1798—1803) and—after lapse of some years—another
Bishop, Dr. Robert Walsh (1817—1821). Area, 197 acres.

trace of fort nor memory of Little Patrick survives. Area, 53 acres.

“ Rathfadden ” (A.S.E.).

* Ticor, Tig Cop. Meaning uncertain; probably “Core’s. .. .

House.” O’Donovan renders it “odd” house, but the modifying
term is C6f or Coin, not corp. Area, gr acres.

S.D Stige Caot— Narrow Way”; a name more generally
known now than the townland name proper. It was originally
applied to a narrow lane which followed approximately course
of the present road from Reservoir to the Cork Road.

WATERFORD; probably “ Snug Haven”; the name is certainly
Danish but authorities differ as to its meaning. The present
division embraces that portion of the city beyond the ancient walls,
on the west. Area (in two parts), 104 acres.

S.DD. (a) Ballybricken, DOaite Oyucin — “ Brickin’s Home-
stead.” This is a sub-division of somewhat indefinite extent. In
its minimum extension it includes the whole Fair Green (no longer
403

green, by the way). The Great Parchment Book makes mention of
Bricken’s Mill and Garden, while “‘ Bricken's Town” is referred to
in A.S.E.  Ballybricken is the “Great Greene” of the Down
Survey Map.

(b) Barker Street; named from the early 18th century
Alderman Samuel Barker, site of whose garden it occupies.

(c) “‘ The Citadel”; this was a square fort, mounted with great
guns, which stood on site of the present gaol. It consisted of four
bastions with curtains (2).

(a) “ Barrack Street,” An Pottee—* The Fair (or Hurling)
Green.” Here stood, at present entrance to Christian Brothers’
residence, the thatched chapel of Trinity Without. Barrack Street,
with the present Mayor’s Walk, constitutes the ‘‘Common Greene”
of the original Down Survey Map.

(e) “Glass House Lane”; 'it perpetuates the memory of
Gatchell’s famous factory, which sent its inimitable products all
over Western Europe.

(f) “Glen Road”; joining Bridge Street to the Glen.

(g) “Gow’s Lane,” Lana $aba—“ Blacksmith’s Lane”; now
Smith’s Lane, which designation the Municipal Authority has
sanctioned by erection of a new name-plate.

(h) “ Mayor’s Walk”; this was first laid out as a street in
1711, on the demolition of the earthwork without the walls which
protected both wall and gates at this side. The earthwork here
appears to have been about twelve feet in height; we find it
occasionally referred to in municipal documents &c. as the ‘“ Butt-

works.”
(i) “ Murphy’s Lane.” This thoroughfare exists no longer,

and its disappearance is no loss if it deserved the character given
it in a note (Dr. O’Donovan’s) in the Ordnance Survey Field-Book
—‘ Its occupants are of the lowest class of Tippers, , and pick-
pockets of the lowest and most diabolical character: so at least they
were in 1827, when I went to school to old Ned Hunt of Patrick
Street.” This classic lane ran parallel with Mayor’s Walk from
Bachelor’s Walk to Patrick street—along the space now occupied
by Widgers’ stables.

(k) “ Pound Street ”; it formerly occupied portion of the open
space in centre of the Glen, and derived its name from the public
pound situated there.

(2) “ Thomas’ Hill”; mentioned in the Great Parchment Book,
and so called from St. Thomas’ Church, to which it leads or led.
The chancel arch of the church still survives and, being pre-
invasion in character, is ‘of peculiar interest. It stands in a
neglected cemetery, in which are a few tombstones.

(m) “ Vulcan Street”; the former name of the north end of
Thomas’ Street, between junction with O'Connell Street and Quay.

(n) “ King Street,” also called O’Connell Street for the past
hfteen years.

 
 

WO Parishes only of this Barony lie, with portion of
a third, within our territory, scil:—Grangemockler,
Templemichael and part of Garrangibbon. The
Barony was, according to O’Heerin (a), the ancient
patrimony of O’Day. Both O’Heerin (b) and the Four
Masters (c) write the name Stuuab Ayvoacard, that is—
“ Mountain of the High Plain.” The three parishes
named form a kind of plateau differing in soil and

general character from the adjoining parishes of Iffa and Offa.

Less fertile than the adjoining Barony and isolated, on one side,

by a range of high hills, Slieveardagh is more favourably cir-

cumstanced than its sister baronies for the preservation of its
ancient nomenclature. Accordingly its sub-denominations were
found more numerous, and were more easily collected than the
corresponding land-names of the adjoining divisions.  Lioses

(entirely or partly destroyed) are plentiful, and it is remarkable

that whereas elsewhere throughout the whole Decies, north and

south, they are, with rare exceptions, circular in shape, in this
particular corner of Tipperary they are mostly polygonal—penta-

gonal, hexagonal &c.

 

Garrangibbon Parish.

Tue Parish name is of purely civil origin, derived from the
townland on which the ancient church stood. Of the church

hardly any remains exist. The little that does survive will be
found within a small cemetery enclosed in the grounds of South
Lodge and including neither inscription nor monument of age or
general interest. The parish is portion of an elevated mountain
plain, overlooking the very fertile south-east angle of the Golden
Vale and the Valley of the Suir.

Grangemockler Parish.

THE name is ecclesiastical and derived from the townland on which
stand the ruins of the ancient parish church. These are ina
tolerable state of preservation, and show the church to have been
of comparatively ambitious proportions. The parish, of about
average extent, contains, in all, six townlands, of which two are
of great size. From our present point of view the region is
disappointing; names are proportionately few and, by no means,
the most interesting.

TOWNLANDS.

Templemichael Parish.

Tuis is the second parish of the name in Lismore Diocese (for the
other see Barony of Coshmore and Coshbride). The scant remains
of the ancient church with its cemetery are picturesquely situated
on the east bank of the Lingaun stream at a place where an old
road crosses the latter. I have little (if any) doubt that Temple-
michael is the St na 5Capibso (“Ford of the Chariots”) of the Four
Masters and other ancient authorities. In the Visitations of
Elizabeth (d) the church of Athnacarbad is twice placed between
Grangemockler and Newtown Lennon and as these Visitations
proceed in geographical order it seems plain that the present
church—between Grangemockler and Newtown—is the place
meant. Similarly in the Taxation of Pope Nicholas “ Anegarbid ”
follows Kilmurry immediately and precedes Mouler (Grange-
mockler). That it was anciently a place of note is evident from
the Four Masters’ reference to the death of Lughaidh MacConn.
Lughaidh, they say, was treacherously slain by the druid Ferchis,
“to the west of Athnacarbad (e).” The parish is of average extent,
embracing twelve townlands. Through it ran the ancient highway,
via the Rathclarish Gap, from Ossory to Magh Feimhin and Southern
Decies (/).

TEMPLEMICHAEL, Teamputt thicit—* St. Michael’s Church.”

tradition to be a faint echo of the former importance of the ford
hard by. Area, 183 acres.
 

PPERTHIRD, which contains seven parishes and
portion of three others, extends along the south bank
of the Suir from a mile or so to east of Portlaw as far
west almost as the environs of Clonmel. It is not a
region particularly rich in local nomenclature, though
a few of its names are both philologically and histori-
callyimportant. Itsown name, Usécap Tin (“ Upper
Country”), the Barony owes both to its physical

character (portion of it is a plateau) and to its geographical

relation to its sister Barony of Middlethird. Upperthird was,
in Celtic times, the tribal land of the O’Flanagans, and

 

became, after the 12th century, part of Psopaca (Powers’ Country).

Clonegam Parish.

THE Parish derives its name from the townland on which stood
the ancient church. Most of the parish is now included within
the demesne of Curraghmore. Hence sub-denominations are
comparatively few. A description &c. of the ancient church will
be found in Fournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological
Society, Vol. I., pp. 251 &c.

of the old Cathedral of Waterford. The elaborate stonework,
in no fewer than 146 pieces, forms a miniature cairn now
overgrown with briars, furze and thick moss. On the demolition
of the old Cathedral in 1770 the window was transported hither,
and here on the hill side—abandoned and forgotten—it has
remained ever since. (b) Area, 692 acres.

probably that of the last heir (heiress, rather) of the Powers, Earls of
Tyrone, scil:—Lady Kathleen Power, who married Sir Marcus
Beresford, afterwards created ath Earl of Tyrone. The Countess
died in 1769, aged 68 years.

Par., antea, p. 257.

(d) Moin na SCeap— Bog of the Cultivated Plots.”

MAYFIELD or Rockett’s CasTLe. This was originally a sub-
division of Knockane. It was known (temp. Chas. I.) as Rockett’s
Castle, by which name it was conveyed to Sir Algernon May, from
whom it is called Mayfield. Rockett was a “ noted pirate ”—the
same individual perhaps whose tragic end gave its name to
Rockett’s Tree, near Waterford; see Par. Trinity Without. Area,
495 acres.

“Rockete’s Castell” (Ing. Jas. 1.).  “ Rocket's Castle, ais

S.D. 04n faos—" Long Field”; a single field of great size—
perhaps 50 acres.

Dysert Parish.

THE word Disert came to us in the first age of Latin loaning; it is
of purely ecclesiastical origin and occurs twice in Co. Waterford to

signify the “ retreat,” “ hermitage ” or “ desert” to which an early
recluse, who afterwards became a church founder, retired. From
the anchorite’s settlement sprang the later church and, perhaps,
monastery. The anchorite in the present instance seems to have
been St. Mogue—either the founder of the See of Ferns or his
namesake of Clonmore. Dysert is not now retainedas the name of any
particular townland of the parish though one sub-denomination—
Ballindysert—incorporatesit. The“ Disert” may have been either the
original church at Churchtown or an early church, now represented
by a citt on Ballindysert. For a description of the church ruin at
the former place see ¥ournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeo-
logical Society, Vol. IL., pp. 6 &c.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLINDYSERT, Duaile an Oipesipitc—' Cattle Shed of the
Hermitage.” There are on the townland two remarkable pillar
stones which stand within a few yards of one another and, on its
east side, the site of an early church. Area, 945 acres.

The word ctoé is sometimes used to designate a stone building (c).
Area, 456 acres.

S.D. Castle Quarter (O.M.), Ceatparha 4 Caipledin; this castle,
which still stands, belonged to the Earls of Ormond.

CARROWCLOUGH, Ceatpamha Cturhac —“ Mossy Quarter.”
Area, 93 acres.

(d) “ Mulcahy’s Gap”; a ford in the Suir, opposite Churchtown
house. :

(e) St an Groe—" Ford of the (Sacred) Vestments.” The
ford was on the old road, now disused, and the sheanacies of the
locality say a set of priest’s vestments was lost here during a flood.

CooLnamuc, Cait na Muice— Corner of the Pig’’; doubtless
the allusion is to some legend, now lost. The castle was erected
by a Catherine Comerford. Area (in three divisions), 898 acres.

S.DD. (a) Toberavalla (O.M.), Tovapn 4 Destag— Well of
the Roadway.” This well is commonly regarded as “holy,” and
—owing to ignorant rendering of the name—is now known to local
speakers of English as—St. Vallery’s Well!

(b) St. Antony’s Well (O.M.). A pattern was held here
formerly (O.D.). The well has now however lost not only its
reputation for supernatural virtue but even its name.

GLEN, dn Steann. Idem. A famous fair, held here annually
on the Feast of the Ascension, is commemorated in the name of a
well known air “ The Fair of Glen.” A second air and song of
reputed local origin is the popular “ Seagan 6 Ouibip a Sleanna,”
commonly attributed to Pierce Power of Glen (1685); this air was
annexed by Allan Ramsay in 1724 and Burns, who calls it “a
favourite Irish air,” wrote two songs to it. Dr. Flood, however, (d)
thinks “ Seaghan O’Duibhir ” is not of Waterford origin. The fair
of Glen was held on both sides of the river, hence the saying:—

rights were of considerable moment; the latter were held—on the
Waterford side—by the Hurleys of Glen and—on the north side—
by Captain James Power. Colonel Roche received a grant of Glen
for his services in swimming the Foyle at Derry, to communicate
with the beleagured Williamite army. Roche was buried in
Churchtown graveyard and at his funeral Seamup na Spon de-
livered so sarcastic a “ eulogy ” in Irish that it split the gravestone.
Another quondam owner of Glen was Cullenan from whom the
-place was called Steann batte ti Curtteandin. Burke ( Family
Romance ”) tells how Colonel James Roche swam up the river at
Londonderry during its historic siege in order to tell the besieged
of approaching relief, and that William III. gave him all the
undisposed ferries of Ireland as a reward for his bravery. This
grant embroiled him in many lawsuits, and Roche made fresh ap-
plication to the Crown that upon surrendering his former patent
he might have a grant of the forfeited estate of James Everard
in the Co. Waterford, “with some ferries near his habitation ” (e)-
Area (in two divisions), 1,425 acres.

S.DD. (a) Capparsin Sionaig— Little Fox Rock.”

(b) Capparg i H6tain—* O’Bohan’s Rock.”

(c) “The Decoy.” This word occurs occasionally in place
name; it denotes a contrivance in a pond, lake or bog for entrapping
game—chiefly wild duck.

(d) ‘The Hop Yard.”

(e) OL4t65 ; this is the old name of the road now known
as the “Jinny Hill”; it seems to signify—“ The Little Smooth
Surfaced (or ‘ Flowery ’) Place,” from btat, a flower.

(f) Cappars 4 Cuattle—" Rock of the Pole (or ‘ Pile ’).”

(g) Toba a Mapicarp— Well of the Marquis.”

(h) The Racecourse.

(i) Staipe—" Stream,” called also Staipe Psopars— Patrick’s
Stream ”; from root slép, airy blue or green—the colour of water;
it separates the parishes of Dysert and Kilsheelan. The source of
this stream is at an altitude of 1,400 feet.

In the River occur the following :—

(fj) Scaipt na Mona—" Stony Ford (or Shallow) of the Bog”;
this also appears to have been called “ Ford Island,” from a small
green island which has disappeared.

(k) Scaipt a Sopmoisig— Gormog’s Stony Ford.” See under
Tramore Burrow, Drumcannon Par.

(J) Pott 4 Crapyparo1g—"“ The Kerryman’s Drowning Pool.”

(n) “Glen Weir.”

(0) Pott 4 Scimpa— Hole of the Stump.”

(p) Pott 4 Tubsin—“ Hole of the Little Tub”; named from
its shape.

KILLDROUGHTAN, Citl ‘Opdécdin— Droughtan’s Church.”
Site of the early church was close to Thompson’s farmhouse (east
side). Thence, the neighbours tell, the church was, supernaturally,
transported in the night to the opposite side of the Suir, where its
remains are pointed out close to the ruins of Dovehill Church.

S.DD. (all in River):—(a) Pott na 5Caitinrde—“ Pool of the
Girls”; two girls were drowned in it once on a time.

(b) Pott a Siomanaig—" Pool of the Huntsman.”

418

o’ergrown and surrounded by a circular fence. Within the
enclosure—towards its centre—lies an ogham-inscribed pillar-stone.
Mr. Macalister (f) reads the legend thus:—‘ Moddagni Maqi
Gattagni Mucoi Luguni.” Area, 76 acres.

Fenough Parish.

Tue Parish and ancient church are called respectively in Irish
Poppaipce and Teamputt fionntdsc. The qualifying term is
archaic and its meaning obscure. It possibly incorporates the
word fi0b, a wood. We find the name written “ Fenogh” in
the Down Survey, “ ffenogh” in the Visitation Books so often
quoted (g), and “Fynvach” (which suggests the Irish form
fionn Mag) in the Taxation of Pope Nicholas. The ancient
church, or rather its graveyard—for the church has disappeared—
is on the townland of Curraghnagarraha. At the entrance there
was, forty years ago, a small ogham stone, but it has been
destroyed. For fuller information regarding church and parish,
see Fournal of Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archeological Society,
Vol, L, pp. 252 &c.

TOWNLANDS.

BaLLyguin, Daite Ui Cuinn—“ O’Quinn’s Homestead.” On
this townland are, or were, two cromlechs and one remarkable
pillar-stone, ogham-inscribed. The reading of the ogham here is
certain though the characters are worn: it runs:—‘ Catabar Moco
Virigorb.” Virigorb = the old Irish personal name Fearcorb (h).
One of the cromlechs has been recently destroyed; the other is
of the earthfast, or primary, class. It is probable that this crom-
lech is, like perhaps most of those of primary character, artificial
in only a minor degree. Area, 471 acres.

“ Ballyaquin, alias Ballykneene” (A.S. & E.).

S.D. Moin 4 Dpannpsa— Bog of the Cattle Pen.” The pen
here is simply a circle of upright pillar-stones. Dpannpa signifies

above.
BRowNswoop, Coitt 4 Opanatg: Idem. Area, 218 acres.
S.DD. (a) &n tSeansa Spdéro—" The Old Village.”

(b) Cnoc an lomaiups. Meaning somewhat doubtful; the
last word may be a derivative from 1omaipe, a ridge or wrinkle.
CREHANAGH, Cyioténac—" Shaking (Bog).” On this town-
land stands an ogham-inscribed pillar-stone; the reading is:—
“Vimagni Maqi Cuna (7). James Butler of Creghannagh was
fined £20 &c. for refusing to present accusants, 1616 (7). Area,
540 acres.
S.D. Capypaig fionnudsc. See parish name above: this is a
- well-known dome-shaped rock which caps the ridge. On the hill
is a massive rocking-stone.

of the Gardens.” Area, 223 acres.

‘“‘Curraghneg Araghey ” (D.S.R.).

PoRTNABOE, Poptaose na 06. Meaning doubtful. O’ Donovan
writes it Popitaé na D6; assuming this to be correct the name pre-
sents no difficulty; it is—‘‘ Bog of the Cow.” Locally however I
have heard the first, not the latter form, and I find it written
phonetically, Purtoughnaboe, on an old tombstone in Carrickbeg
graveyard. Area, 284 acres.

lech. Area, 393 acres.

RETAGH, An Ré1ocesc—“ The Cleared Land.” Area, 149 acres.

TINAHALLA, Tig an Cataro— House of the Riverside Meadow
(or Ferry).” Compare Callaghane, Ballygunner Par. The name,
Calais, is from the same root. A fair, afterwards transferred to
Clonegam, was held here on May 28th. Area, 363 acres.

S.DD. (a) P4dipne 4 Teampuitt_— Field of the Church”; the
field, on Hearne’s farm, is so called from an early church site
thereon. Here was found a large circular basin of fine sand-
stone containing human bones and covered by a domed lid also of
stone. The basin is 3’ 6” in diameter, by 15” high, and is carefully
wrought and slightly ornamented.

(b) Date na Naronarde. Meaning unknown. This is a well
known sub-division.

(c) Pipe na vPpéacdn—" Field of the Cows.”

(d) Pape a Taipb—" Field of the Bull”; so called from a
man nicknamed “ The Bull.”

(e) Paine 4 Learhain— Field of the Elm.”

(f) Papen 4 Margipcip— The Master’s Field.”

(g) Ballyhoora. Meaning uncertain; a considerable sub-
division.

Guilcagh Parish.

TuIs is a small parish (eight townlands) which seems to have
possessed no church. The name is unecclesiastical, and will be
looked for in vain in the Visitation lists, though it occurs under the
form of Kilcath in the Taxations. There is, however, a Down
Survey reference to ‘the Division of Coolefin and Gilcagh.” The
name is pronounced $iotcaig (dat.)— “ Broom” (Spartiuin
Scoparium).

Flexuosuim)”; it is frequented by a ghost.

(b) Opnoideso Sta na n@astaire— Bridge of the Church
Ford ”’; on west boundary of the townland.

KILMOVEE, Citt Mo1bi— Movee’s Church.” There isa parish
of the same name in Co. Mayo, and near Lusk, Co. Dublin, is an
ancient cemetery called St. Movee’s. The Irish martyrologies
mention St. Mobhi of Glasnevin on Oct. 12th, St. Mobhi of Donny-
brook (Domhnach Broc) on Sept. 30th, and St. Mobhi of Cluain
Fannabhair on Dec. 13th. Site of the early church in the present
instance has been identified close to Gough’s farmstead and on north
side of road to Kilmacthomas. Area, 692 acres.

S.D. Tobap ns Spuan—“ Well of the Bridles.”

KNOCKHOUSE, Tig an Cno1¢—“ House of the Hill.” Area,

S.D. dn Saiticin—“ The Little Willow Place”; so named
from a well, Toba na Saitecin— Well of the Willows.”’ This is
an instance of a sub-denomination better known than the townland
name proper.

GuiLcaGH, Siotcaig— Broom.” The townland is entirely
included in Curraghmore demesne. Area, 780 acres.

S.D. Paipic 4 Srotcaige— Field of the Broom ”; a field from
which the townland probably takes its name.

Killaloan Parish.

GREATER portion of this parish as well as its ancient church and
graveyard lie within the Barony of Iffa and Offa and County of
Tipperary. Further reference to it will therefore be found under
the barony in question.

farmhouse the milk vessels from which were rinsed in the ford,
whence the stream got a milky colour.

GLENDAW, Sleann 0A1b10—“ David’s Glen.” Area, 142 acres.

_ LisHeen, Upin—‘ Little Lios (or Earthen Fort).” Area, 54
acres.

S.D. Cappats na bf1a¢—" Ravens’ Rock.”

DERRINLAUR, ODoipie an Léipn— Middle Oakwood.” The old
castle, now very ruinous, belonged to a branch of the Butlers.
A stone with Butler arms was found in the ruins more than half a
century since and was carried away by Lord Cahir, the proprietor.
423

The castle, which is referred to in ‘“ Pacata Hibernia,” is commonly
reputed to have been in later times the abode of arobber band. It
was evidently a place of great strength for its walls are over eight
feet in thickness—full eleven feet in the flanking towers. Under
the year 1574 the Four Masters relate that:— The son of
the Earl of Desmond (John, son of James,) took by surprise
a good and strong castle called Doire-an-lair and placed in it
trustworthy warders of his own people to guard it. When the
Lord Justice of Ireland (Sir William Fitzwilliam) and the Earl of
Ormond (Thomas, son of James, son of Pierce Roe,) had heard of
this castle, it renewed their animosities against the sons of the Earl
of Desmond and they summoned the men of Meath and Bregia,
the Butlers and all the inhabitants of the English Pale to proceed to
devastate Leath-Mhodha, and they marched without halting until
they had pitched their tents around Doire-an-lair which they finally
took; and the Lord Justice beheaded all the warders.” Area, 658
acres.

S.D. Cops Ui Néit—“ O’Neill’s Weir ”; in river.

TrKIncor, Tig, Cinn Coptar0— House at Head of (the) Weir.”
The “ House” in question was the 17th century mansion of the

by the bridge. Sir Thomas Osborne lived here in 1690. Area,
379 acres.

CootFin, Cait finn—* Fionn’s Corner.” Greater portion of
the townland is a flat or “callow” by the riverside. Area,
1,068 acres.
424

S.DD. (a) Kilbunny Church, Citt Ounna—“ Bunna’s Church”;
a very interesting ruin with an early 11th century door (Irish
Romanesque) (k). Ounna is almost certainly a corruption of
Munna. An inscribed slab, some centuries old, which lies within
the ruin, bears an effigy of a Bishop, with the inscription
“S$. MONNIA EPS.” Munna, Bishop and Abbot, is com-
memorated under October, 21st in all the Irish Martyrologies.
“ Fionntan was another name for Munna. Fulchan was the name
of his father. Two hundred and thirty was the number of monks
in his convent, And it was Mochua, son of Lonan, that cured him
of the leprosy which he had from the beginning ”’ (J).

(b) “The Lates”’; wide, and often deep, ditches which drain
the extensive marshes. It has been suggested that the song
“The Lakes of Coolfin” has reference to this place, and that
“Lakes” is a misreading of ‘‘ Lates.”

(c) Clodagh River, on west boundary, Sn Ct6roeac; interpre-
tation difficult and doubtful. Dr. O’Donovan translates it
“muddy” (m).

GLENHOUSE, Steann sa Cabsip— Glen of the Causeway”;
this is a curious instance of perverted Anglicisation. Area, 647 acres.

LaHARDAN, Leat-Aproin— Half Little Eminence”; from the
peculiar outline of an apparently cloven rock bluff which forms the
summit of a ridge. Area, 593 acres.

For an account of the Church and Friary antiquities, see ¥ournal of
Waterford and S.E, Ireland Archeological Society, Vol. I1., pp. 2-6.
Kilmoleran (Citt Mo Sttepdin) is the name of the parish only, and
perhaps at no time did it designate a townland. It signifies—

parish church, as well as existing remains of the old Friary,
are on Carrickbeg townland. The present parish church occupies
the site of the Friary, while the neglected cemetery of Ritig na Muc
indicates the position of Kilmoleran Church. Kilmoleran Parish
contains, in all, only four townlands.

TOWNLANDS.

BALLYSLOUGH, Datte Satteac— Willow Homestead ”’; some-
times now called 0D. Sataé— Dirty Town.” The Down
Survey Reference shows by its spelling that the adjective is not
“dirty” but “willowy.” Area, 164 acres.

“ Ballysellagh ” (D.S.R.).

CARRICKBEG, Capipatg Deas— Little Rock,” or rather “ Little
Carrick.” When Carrick-on-Suir, which got its name from a rock
in the river, grew to be a place of some importance, its suburb at
the opposite side of the river came to be called by contra-distinction
“ Little Carrick.” Carrickbeg was anciently Carrick-mac-Griffin,
from one Matthew FitzGriffin, to whom the place was granted early
in the 13th century. Area, 800 acres.

Glenaheiry barony.

TOWNLANDS.

Boota, Ousite—“ Milking Place.” The townland, nearly all
mountain and bog, is of very peculiar shape—resembling a gigantic
camén or “hurley,” some three miles in length by less (on an
average) than one-third of a mile wide. Area, 642 acres.

Mothel Parish.

MOTHEL, a parish of great extent, was formerly impropriate in the
abbey (Canons Regular of St. Austin) of the same name. It is
richer in place names than any other parish of the barony and
furnishes a few mountain and ecclesiastical designations of more
than ordinary interest. On the most difficult of these latter John
Fleming, who was a native of the parish, has left us some useful
428

notes (7). The parish gets its name from the townland on which
stood the ancient church and abbey. Both church and abbey are
supposed to have grown out of the early monastic foundation of
SS. Cuan and Brogan. This latter however was not at Mothel but at
Ballynevin a mile, or so, distant. The observant reader will notice
the number of townland names implying ecclesiastical association
and indicating dependency on an important religious house,
e.g. Bishopstown, Ballynab, Ctoc na Coimipice, Old Grange &c.
For a description of the church and abbey remains the reader is
referred to Waterford Archeological ¥ournal, Vol. I1., pp. 9 &c.

TOWNLANDS.

Ba.uinaB, Oaite an db—" The Abbot’s Town.” Area, 253
acres,

“‘ Ballynapp ” (A.S.E.).

BALLyDuRN, Date Ui O1opain—“ O’Durran’s Homestead.”
Area, 1,149 acres.

S.DD. (a) Cpopaipe na nDanes—“ The Danes’ Cross-Roads.”’
The “crossroads” owe their name to the more or less modern
fashions of attributing all antiquarian remains to the Danes, The
remains here attributed are confined to a basin-like, apparently
artificial, depression of bullan type in a large, partly buried boulder by
the roadside. The basin is some 20’ in diameter by about 9" deep.

(b) Steann Fuinnre—" Ash Tree Glen”; on boundary with
Glenaphuca.

BALLYGARRET, Daite Seapioro—" Garret’s Homestead.” Area,
133 acres.

“ Ballygarrott ” (A.S.E.).

BaLtyHEst, Daite Neipc—" Hesty’s Homestead ” (O.D.).
Area, 135 acres.

BALLYKNOCK, Daile on Cnuic.—*The Hill Homestead.”
Teige O’Bryan of Ballyknocke was fined £20 and imprisoned for
refusing to present recusants. With him suffered in the same cause
a like penalty, his neighbours, Rowland Power of “Corduffe,”

“ Ballyneyle ” (D.S.R.).

S.D. &¢ an Caitin—“ Ford of the Girl”; perhaps the maiden
was drowned here.

BALLYNEVIN, Daite Ui Cnaimin—" O’Knavin’s Homestead ”;
this is popularly believed to have been church land fraudulently
alienated, hence a tradition prevalent half a century since that
occupying farmers invariably got “ broke.” The present, as well
as the adjoining townland, is remarkable for a number of artificial
pits now filled with water and frequented by wild duck. A new
generation has forgotten the object of the excavations, scil:—to
extract marl for manure in the wheat-growing years of the early
1gth century. Area, 697 acres.

S.DD. (a) Tobsp Cusin—* St. Cuan’s Well”; next to St.
Declan’s Well, at Ardmore, this is the most remarkable holy well in
the Decies. The “patron” here on July roth was attended by

thousands.

(b) Aughnagan (O.M.), &t na SCeann—“ Ford of the Heads”;
some monks were beheaded here and the heads thrown into the
stream. The most awesome and dreaded ghost in East Munster
haunted this ford, and only the protection of SS. Cuan and Brogan
rendered wayfarers secure against his molestations. On one
occasion the ghost caught a Tartar :—

BRIDGETOWN, Daite an Opo1ér0o—' Homestead of the Bridge.”
The “ Bridge”? commemorated in the place-name is hardly the
bridge of Clonea, which is not on Bridgetown, but connects Clonea
with Ballyneil. Fleming, not aware of the antiquity of both names,
suspected Ballyneil to be a later name for a sub-division of Bridge-
town (q). Both names have, however, the respectable antiquity of
nearly three hundred years behind them for they occur in their pre-
sent form, in the Down Survey Maps &c. Area, 410 acres.

CLONEA, CLuan-f1a0 —“ Meadow of (the) Deer.” The
sobriquet Psopac (‘of Powers’ Country’) is generally added to
distinguish this from a place of the same name in the adjoining
Barony of Decies. On the townland are the ruins of a fine castle
which was habitable till a half century, or so, since. Area, 225 acres.

COOLNALINGADY, Cat na Loinnroe — “ Ridge-Back of the

place (7). An old native informed me the original name was Cat

(ec) Ctarde na dbfiann and Soc 4 4 Cottcaip—“ Earthen-Fence
of the Fianns ” and “ Sock and Its Colter” respectively; these are
two remarkable and nearly parallel trenches which run up the steep
mountain side and are visible for miles. At a distance the curious
features look like boundary fences. The first is considerably
longer than the other. It was Fionn MacCumbail who ploughed
them: he had completed the first and had got more than half-way
up the second furrow when the colter broke.

Woodstown, Killmacomb Par.; the present name is applied to a
stream forming boundary with Ross.

occurs several times in Waterford place-names; its force I am
unable to determine.

S.D. St na Pattarge—“ Ford of Fallagh.”

FEDDANS, feaodin— Streams.” There is a small ruined
castle on the townland, also a mote. From a Down Survey
reference to “ Fiddownes als Ballyhasteene” it would seem
that Ballyhest is an ancient sub-division of Feddans, or vice versa,
Area, 722 acres.

or thereabout, are distinctly traceable. Some interesting dressed
stones from a primitive doorway are built into a fence by the
roadside. Area, 825 acres.

S.DD. (a) Steann Puinnpe— Ash-tree Glen.”

‘ KILLERGUILE, Citt afi 5Coitt—Apparently—“ Church on the
Wood” as O’Donovan explains it. I searched however in vain
for trace or tradition of church site. On brow of a glen near east
boundary of the townland I found, set in the ground, a basin-
bearing boulder of bullan type. Area, 515 acres.

S.D. Sput 4 Optacain—“ Stream of the Green Bank.”

KNockKaTURNORY, Cnoc 4 Tupn6pa— The Turner’s Hill.”

(b) Dannrps— Manse ”; the Glebe House at Mothel, now
residence of the parish priest.

MuNsBuRROW, Munapldipse (Muin-nsa-Laipse). Meaning
uncertain; O’Donovan translates it ‘ Hill of the Shins” (s), while
Fleming renders it ‘‘ Ridge of the River Forks ” (t), and states that,
though pronounced as above, it is written Muin na Lapse. The
origin of the Anglicised name I have failed to trace; probably
affectation accounts entirely for it. A branch of the Power family
was established here, and as late as seventy-five years ago there
survived some twenty acres of orchard and shrubbery which had
been attached to the “ great house.” Area, 870 acres.

S.DD. (a) Crotty’s Lough (O.M.). This is a modern name
derived from the well remembered outlaw, William Crotty, who
had for his lair an almost inaccessible cave in the rtot or cliff,
overlooking the lake. Crotty was hanged in Waterford in 1742,
yet his memory is still a vivid thing to the peasant of Powers’
Country. See under Coolnalingady supra. The Irish name of the
lake is Com §4ipe—' Laughing Hollow,” or Lo¢ 4 Stoa—" Lake
of the Cliff.” Scot is not found in the dictionaries, and its exact
meaning is not easy to fix. It seems to signify, primarily, a pillar
or standing stone and, in a secondary sense, a cliff or mountain
pinnacle as in the present instance.

Hurling (or Dancing) Green”; at meeting place of three town-
lands.

Rathgormack Parish.

Like its sister Parish of Mothel this division, formerly a depend-
ency of the Abbey of Mothel, is of great extent. Its name is
non-ecclesiastical—derived from the townland on which are the
ruined churchand graveyard. Twoof itstownlands, scil:—Glenanore
and Knockaunaffrin, are in another barony (Glenahiery) and two
others, scil:—-Carrigeen and Curraduff, are separated from body of
parish by the Comeragh range. For fuller information on the
ecclesiastical antiquities of the parish see fournal of Waterford and
S.E. Ireland Archeological Society, Vol. I1., pp. 14 &c.

BALLYCULLANE, Daite Ui Coitedin—“ O’Collins’ Homestead ”;
Area, 176 acres.

“ Ballycolane ” (Inq. Car. I).

BooLacLoGHaGH, ODuaite Cloc¢ac— Stony Milking Place.”
Highest point of this townland, 2,504 feet. Area, 917 acres.

known sub-denomination—“ Hill of the Humming.” A few
families who inhabited this place were noted for poetic and
musical tastes—hence the name.

bearing a fancied resemblance to the symbol of Redemption.

(ec) Na Thi Capparsinrde— The Three Little Rocks”; on the
mountain summit.

CURRAGHKIELY, Cuppa 4 Caotaig—' Morass of the Fairy
Flax (Linu Silvestre).” A Catholic Diocesan Synod—the first since
the Reformation—was held here in 1677, under the presidency of
John Brenan, Bishop of Waterford and Lismore. Owing to operation
of the Penal Laws such a meeting would have been attended with
much danger if held in a more public place. The exact site of the
Synod house is not now on this townland, but on Poulavone, a
former sub-division of Curraghkiely. To left of:the main Clonmel
road—fifty perches or so to west of latter—stood the residence of a
Catholic middleman named Power in which the clergy assembled.

441

and is situated at height of 1,533 feet. From it the Clodiagh River
rises.

(dq) Caran poit—" Paul’s Path”; running by side of last.
The Paul commemorated gave his name likewise to a semi-savage
faction, ‘‘ The Pooleens,” who with their barbarous rivals, “The

«*, This magnificent series of facsimiles of the oldest’ and most im-

portant Irish vellum MSS. is the indispensable basis of any serious

about ten volumes of Encyclopzedia Britannica size. The Introduction

non-Irish students of medizeval literature.

Only Two Hundred copies have been struck off, and the remaining

stock is a very small one.

and Rawl. B. 514. These contain the Tripartite Life of St. Patrick

Conquests”; the Annals of Innisfallen, from the Creation to the year
1319 A.D.; O’Donnell’s Life of St. Columb-kill, and many interesting
legends, poems, and tracts.

All these Manuscripts will, like Rawl. B. 502, if undertaken, be
reproduced by the collotype process in the exact size of the originals,
