The Place-Names of County Kilkenny Acknowledgement The Kilkenny Archaeological Society is grateful to Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly for permission to re-issue this book.

Notice On mature reflection the Commitee of the Society has decided to change the title of Owen O ’Kelly’s book from A History of County Kilkenny to The Place-Names of the County of Kilkenny. The new title is thought more exactly to describe the book. An alphabetical index has been added. Within the new material, Owen O ’Kelly’s book is reproduced complete and unaltered. The map on the cover (also reproduced inside) is made from a Grand Jury map. The Grand Juries were the forerunners of the County Councils. They commissioned maps which are now extremely rare. The Grand Jury maps predate the first edition of the Ordnance Survey maps and are of great interest because of the different spellings of place names. Thus they can be used to locate changes that have occurred. The Place-Names of the COUNTY of KILKENNY

Printed by BOETHIUS PRESS Kilkenny FOREWORD

The publication of my late husband’s history of the place-names of Kilkenny is a re-issue of a work that was originally published in 1969 but has long since gone out of print and is very difficult to obtain. Many years of painstaking research and dedication went into the compilation of the original. But the task was of compelling interest to him and he would have been deeply gratified and proud that his book on the place-names is being republished by the Kilkenny Archaeological Society. He was Honorary Secretary from 1953 to 1963. This republication is in response to the demand for the book especially by the people of the county that he loved so well.

OWEN O’KELLY

(Published by Kilkenny Archaeological Society). FOREWORD

A PART from a desire to record the volume of information extant in Irish in the nomenclature of subdivisions and field names this effort at writing a comprehensive county history was prompted by noting the various articles of topographical interest in literary journals unobtainable in any one volume since the publication in 1905 of the History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory by William Canon Carrigan. Much historical data and many archaeological discoveries have come to light since then, due in recent years very principally to the enthusiasm and scholarship of members of Kilkenny Archaeological Society.

The layout is alphabetically arranged acccording to baronies, civil parishes and townlands. Remains from earlier times in­ cluding cromlachs, monoliths, raths, forts, churches, holy wells, castles and old villages are recorded in their relevant setting. An index of the civil parishes is appended. These earlier-church benefices, recognised as units for local government administration, do not coincide with present-day parishes but their location can be found without difficulty in the different baronies. The acreage in all townlands is Statute Measure, with acreages over two roods odd in individual areas record­ ed in the next higher digit.

Revd. T. J. Clohessy, P.P. (by permission of the Reverend Presi­ dent of St. Kieran’s College) very kindly allowed me access to the unpublished Notes of Canon Carrigan which are housed in the college archives. The Notes treat largely of field names in the few parishes in which the canon was pastor. Reference to these are acknowledged in this volume and locations verified in most instances. Appreciation is also due to everyone, young and old, who supplied items of folklore and information on local landmarks and field names; to the pupils of the different vocational schools for lists of field names confirmed by me in field-work from time to time; to Mr. Gerard Doyle, Thomastown, for his research on the hillridge extending from Dungarven village to Inistioge, anciently known as Ogenti territory; to Mr. Sean Maher, Milepost, Slieverue, who tramped the baronies of Ida and Iverk with me on week-ends and to the staff of the Land Project, Kilkenny, who supplied information on fulachta fia uncovered and on raths protected by Preservation Orders.

Date: June, 1969.

OWEN O’KELLY. BARONIES

The barony is the territorial division determined by the Anglo- Norman invaders from the 13th century onwards denoting the lord­ ship of a baron. The names of the nine baronies within the county are phonetic renderings in English of Irish land terms which existed prior to the British usurpation. In more ancient times the Kingdom of Ossory was divided under the Brehon Laws into Magha, signifying plains, of which seven are recorded in early documents, though not all of these are conterminous with the present county boundaries. The names of these, now doubtful of interpretation and no longer in popu­ lar usage, were Magh Airgead Rois, northwards from Kilkenny city; Magh Airbh, continuing further north-westwards to the Laois border; Magh Chearbhaill, on a broad front from the Nore to the Barrow rivers, now comprising Gowran Barony; Magh Ghabhar Laighean, northwards from the Johnswell Hills into Laois; Magh Lacha, west of Kilkenny city to Callan; Magh Feimhin, west of Callan to Slievenaman, and Magh Roighne, comprising most of Shillelogher Barony.

The geological divisions of Co. Kilkenny are as follows:- In the North rocks are mainly sandstones and shales of the Upper Carboniferous Series with coal seams; in the North-West and Central Kilkenny limestone: in the South sandstones and conglomerates of the old Red Sandstone Series; in the South-east slates and flaggy sandstones of the Ordovican age. Small areas of granite extend westward from the main Leinster Granite to Graiguenamanagh and Mullinavat. Trenchardstown, Baile an Trinsigh, Trench’s or Trenehard’s home­ stead. Area 431 acres. In Carrigan’s Notes he records a “Mass pit in Gorman’s valley.” There is a small rath in a field called Raithin a crooka, but the meaning is not clear. Tullaroan, Tulach Ruain or Rowan’s hill. Area 442 acres. Tullaroan ruined church, churchyard, the monks’ walk, and Lady’s well are in the same field south of the village, and the Tullaroan Cross is by the roadside in the village. There is a double rath in the northern angle and a small rath west of the road at the church. Fields here are the Arda ban, white heights; Clais an uisce; Garrai beag; the Flax field; Paircin; Páirc na gcloch, field of the stones; Pairc na pise, and Portach na lao, the calves’ bog. FASSIDINAN BA RON Y Fasach an Dianin, the pasture lands of the swift river, defines the English phonetic rendering of the barony name. This territory of 68,174 acres forming the north-east of the county extends from the

31 river Nore to the Carlow border and northwards from Ban 6 nDuach to the Laois border. The Dinan river flows southwards through the middle of a wide valley which rises gradually in the east and west to roughly 1000’. In this area, geographically termed the Castlecomer Plateau, lies the centre of the Leinster Coal-fields. The rock formation is shale covering the coal seams in the valley and conglomerate sand­ stone in the higher elevations. Most of the area is good arable land. This was the territory of the 0 Duach tribe until the 10th century and later of the 0 Brennan sept who forfeited their lands under the Strafford Plantation, 1637. Richard W andsford who was secretary to the Earl of Strafford, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, got this terri­ tory and the Wandsford family has wrought the coal-fields from then until the present day. All the district is dotted with disused mines and according to Tithe’s Statistical Observations published in 1802 there were then 16 mines working in the area. Megalithic remains and raths are few. Ruined castles are scatter­ ed in the western and lower portions but there are not many ancient churches and little evidence of communal habitation of the old village fashion.

ABBEYLAOIS PARISH (Part of)

Rathgarry, Rath gharbh,a rough rath. Area 249 acres.

ATTANAGH PARISH (Part of)

Ballyoskill. Area 1,537 acres.

The meaning is in doubt. It is given as Bollyoskall in Inquisition Lagenia (1635) and twice in Calendar of Ormonde Deeds as Ballyoskrin. Cromwell’s Road runs through the area from the Seven Cross-roads in Byrnesgrove direct to Loughill townland and into Laois. The Rosconnell or Ballyoskill pilgrimage is held from the third week in August to the 5th of September and the pattern at Lady’s Well on Our Lady’s Feast-day, August 15th. The Glaise geal, the bright stream, rises here and joins the Nore at Russelstown. There is one rath and a castle site in the old castle field. Other fields are Ban an raithin, the little rath bawn; Caiseal, a stone fortress; Clais mhoinln, the bogland trench; Cluain, a meadow; the Cumar, a glen; Eanach, a marsh; Leaca bhui ,a yellow slope; Old court, and Poll Doimhin, a deep hollow.

Earlsgarden ,Garrai larla, Earl’s or Earley’s garden. Area 256 acres. The Abha bheag, the little river, marks the border between Kil­ kenny and Laois for a short distance. St. Mary’s R.C. Church is near the east border. In Carrigan’s Notes he records the Closh (Clais) as the site of an old chapel. 32 CASTLECOMER PARISH

Aghamucky, Achadh muice,the pig’s field (Onom.) Area 1,065 acres. The disused Rock colliery is in the northern portion and the highest point in the area is 809’. An aerial railway for coal de­ livery ran from the rock to the Deerpark colliery until the early thirties of this century. Ardra, Ard riach, a grey heigh. Area 892 acres. The name is recorded as Ardrea in early 18th century docu­ ments. The Castle of Ardra, in ruins, is in a wood formerly known as the Twelve Views wood. Tobar na Croiche Naoi i.e. Tobar na Croiche Naofa, well of the holy cross, is now known as Cruckney well. Ardra House is below Copley’s bridge. A monument erected by local public subscription some years ago to honour the memory of the 1798 men who fell in the battle of Castlecomer and who were interred here is in this townland. Aughatubrid (now Chatsworth) Achadh tiobraide,field of the spring. Area 1,682 acres. This townland is the most northernly in the county. The ancient church was in the Church Hill field and Carrigan in his Notes states that the Tiobraid beside the church was a holy well; also that there was another holy well called Bruach dearg, the red bank well. Fields are Foithreamhail, lowlying thickets, and Tulach riach, a grey hill or mound. The highest point is 817’. Ballylinnan, Baile Lonain,Lonnin’s homestead. Area 525 acres. Fields are the Ban; the Buaile, and Sean-mhoinear. Castlecomer, Caislean an Chumair,the castle of the confluence. Area 84 acres. The town is recorded as an Comar in Osraighibh, in Onamsticon Gaedelicum by Revd. Edmund Hogan, S.J., published in 1910, and also recorded as CaisleSn idir dha chumair in medieval documents. It is a thriving town due to its proximity to the coal-mining centre, and its limetree-lined square is an attractive shopping and residential area. This square was a resting and re-loading centre for the hardy colliery carters who delivered their loads within a thirty mile radius, travelling late and early. After delivering their loads and enjoying convivial company they faced the return journey with their mules and jennets. These animals were so well trained that they wended their way home safely, unguided occasionally but keeping strictly to the correct side of the road. Particular families engaged in coal selling and delivery and many tales are told of their journeying, their double tracing on steep roads and battling with the ele­ ments. All this is now past history as carts and carters have disappeared off the roads within the past twenty years. “I’ve a heart as big as Kilmacow,” the late Ned Kelly, a Clogh carter, used to say, landing back on a wet and windy night with his whip looped over his shoulder and the thirst of the road on 33 him. Castlecomer was the birthplace of Mrs. Laracy (nee Kenny) who wrote in support of the Sinn Fein movement in the early years of this century under the pen-name “The Stormy Petrel”. The town figured prominently in Gaelic League circles, the local promoters being Matty Whelan, Jer. Kelly, Paddy Mulhall and the Quinn and Kenny brothers.

Clogh, Cloch, a castellated stone building. Area 533 acres. The name is recorded as Cloch Magh Leithid on Petty’s map, 1655. Carrigan states in his Notes that Coolthach (coillteach, woodlands) castle was in the Castle field and that a pond be­ side the present R.C. church was called Loch na nge, pond of the geese. Massford and Boneyarra, probably Ban an ghearrtha, bawn of the (river) cutting, are two subdivisions. There is a disused coal pit north of Clogh village, and this mining village is transformed from rows of old thatched houses to modern slated dwellings within the last 40 years. Sui ard, a rise, is a field name here.

Cloneen, Cluainin,a little meadow. Area 809 acres.

Coolbawn, Cul ban,a fair hill-back. Area 680 acres. Upperhills, anciently called Drom Sheain Mhic Amhlaoibh, Sean Mac Cauliffe’s hill, is a subdivision. Another district name here is Glenmullan from the main road to the stream of that name. There is a Clais an Eyesin, a Mass pit here, the second element conforming with the rendering of R slender in the Ossory dia­ lect. In an ambush here in 1920 two I.R.A. flying-column men, Sean Hartley of Glenmore and Nicholas Mullins of Thomas­ town lost their lives. A wayside shrine marks the spot on the main ’Comer/Athy road. Coolbawn House is the Comerford home.

Coolnaleen. Area 428 acres. O’Donovan gives Cul na lion, hill-back of the nets as a trans­ lation, and Carrigan gives Cul an lin, hill of the flax. It is difficult to know which should be applied. According to Tighe’s statistical survey flax cultivation in the county was then “trif­ ling and local”. In support of O’Donovan’s translation we quote the following from the Ormonde Deeds, Vol. IV:- “John White, John Cott and Maurice Haolan, all of the same, who hold no lands or tenements, yet all and each of them hold and exercise harriers, greyhound bitches and scenting-hounds on leash for taking hares, rabbits ,pheasants and partridges. . . . Deed .... Dated November 10, 1514”. In the same volume is a Deed dated March 20, 1544, stating that “W alter Cowley of Kilkenny grants to James Sweetman of Castlelleff and Leonard Blanch- vill of Dunmore half of all his messauges and lands with half the rabbit-warren in Krynkill ...” A well here is called Cnocan ban well. 34 Croghtenclogh, Croichtin cloch,little croft of the stones. Area 3,486 acres. This is the largest townland in the county and borders Co. Car­ low. Part of the district was called Caoracht, sheep land, accord­ ing to Carrigan. Two streams join at Kelly’s Bridge with a tributary flowing from the Three Counties Bridge on the Carlow border from the Dinan in its upper reaches. There is a small rath near Kelly’s Bridge and a disused coal mine in the ex­ treme northern angle. Fields are CUil an tobair, angle of the well (accounted holy); Gort na gcloch, and Mongore, probably Moin gabhar, the goats’ bog, where Castlecomer residents cut turf during the fuel scarcity in World War II years. The high­ est point is 830’.

Crutt, Croit, a (hill) hump. Area 2,459 acres. It is recorded in Hogan’s Onom, as Crota. All the area belonged to the O’Brennans in pre-Reformation times. Turlogh O’Brennan was attainted in 1694 ending the power of this great family in the north county. Cappagh; Coolade i.e. Cul leithead, a broad hill, and Sraid an Ultaigh, the Ulsterman’s village, a small com­ munity with Ulster surnames, are subdivisions. Poll an phuca is a waterfall and swimming pool on the stream rising in Coolade and joining the Deen river at Loon townland. The highest point is 965’ and fields are Achadh dara, field of the oak; Ban Dhonnchadha; Caitheamh siar and Croicin. There is one disused coal-mine site.

Donaguile, Dun an ghaill,fort of the foreigner. Area 782 acres. Ellinor Brennan forfeited “Dunagile-oughtarach”, Upper Dona­ guile, in 1694. Grant’s Wood, also known as Cloudmount, is here and a depression known as Gleann doimhin.

Drumagoole, Drom an ghuail, hill of the coal. Area 368 acres. There is a holy well near St. Mary’s church and a spa well in Sawney’s wood. Cromwell’s pit is in Wandesford’s wood and Tulach riach, a grey hill, is a field name.

Firoda (Upper), Fioghar o nDuach,border lands of O’Duach. Area 1,187 acres. Leicean na raithighe, slope of the ferns, is a subdivision. Firoda castle, east of the Ballyragget road, and Grace’s old castle were both destroyed in the beginning of the 19th century. There is a large moat called Mount Firoda near the highest point 981’. Tobar na leac, well of the flags, in Lower Firoda, Nanny’s well or St. Anne’s, and Tobar an chinnfhionn .well of the white­ faced cow, are three wells here. There is a disused coal shaft near the Laois border and fields are Banog an bhainne, little bawn of the milk; Cnocan na muc, and Gleann 6 nDuach. Glebe, Gleib, glebe land. Area 20 acres. This small area adjoins Barrack Street on the north-west. 35 Glenmagoo or Firoda Lower, Gleann Magha gabha,glen of the Smith’s valley. Area 1,049 acres. The name indicates ancient smithing and it is recorded that iron goods were produced here and at Ironmills, Ballinakill by the Wandesfords in the first half of the 17th century. Cillin Moygowe is recorded in documents of 1621, according to Carri­ gan, but there is no trace of the little church. In his Notes he mentioned that human bones were found at the rath. Fields are Cnocan an Eysing (Aifrinn), hillock of the Mass; CnocSn, (said to be chambered); Croichtin carrach, a barren little croft; Fearann na saileog, osierland; Gleann mor; Mullan na mona (as given in Canon Carrigan’s Notes); Raithin, and Tinaoil, a lime­ kiln. Gorteen, Goirtin,a small field. Area 683 acres. The term Goirtin is applied to a district of small fields as in Ballygorteen in Shankill Parish, Gowran Barony. Mointeen old colliery is south of the cross-roads. Stang is a field name here. A stang or estang is an Anglo-Norman land measurement term said to be 2| statute acres. Kiltown, Baile na cille, place of the church. Area 628 acres. The ancient name was Cill Dhonnchadha na coille, church of Donagh of the wood, according to Carrigan who states in his Notes that Owen Brennan was attainted of Kiltown in 1694. There is a small graveyard for still-born children and a Mass pit which gives its name to a field. There are three wells— Tobar Philib at which a pattern was held formerly; Tobar Eibhlin and Tobar cuill, probably the hazel wood well. Besides the Mass-pit field there is also the grave field; Cloichrean, stony land; Cros Eibhlin; Leacht Sheain, and the Lyraeha (0) an area of roughly 100 acres. Loon ,Leamhan,elm land. Area 811 acres. Moneenroe, Moinin rua,a little red moor. Area 1,313 acres. The old Jarrow colliery and one other was in this district. Fields are the Cruachan ban; Croicin; Currach; Sceach and the Three sceachs. Moyhora, Magh thorthach,a fertile plain. A rea 1,250 acres. It is recorded in Onom, as “Magh thorthach in Ossory”. There was a deer park here which would seem to have given its name to the centre of mining called the Deerpark Colliery closed in 1968 marking the end of an era. Ryefield is a subdivision and fields are Croicin ban; Cnoc a buggie (O), and the Pollachs, the hollows. Skehane, Sceachanach, a place of sceach bushes. Area 939 acres. Skehana mine produced the finest anthracite coal but was des­ troyed by underground fire in 1929. Fields are the Beitin, Cul Pheigi, Peggy’s hill; Croicin; Gleann dorcha, a dark glen; the Leicean, a slope, and Moin an ghuta, miry bogland. 36 Slade, Slaod, a glen. Area 157 acres. This term is now obsolete except in place names.

COOLCRAHEEN PARISH (O’Donovan gives the name if this parish as Cuil Craithin, Craheen’s angle, but the name of the old parish church in Shan­ ganny townland is recorded as Coolaraheen, i.e. Cuil an raithin, angle of the little rath).

Clintstown, Baile Chlinn,Clynn or Clints’ homestead. Area 447 acres. It is thought that Friar Clynn who survived and recorded the great plague or Black Death in Kilkenny in 1348-’49 had some connection with this place but there is no historical proof. Fields are the Castle field which is said to be the site of an an­ cient church and Cnocan na ceardcha, little hill of the forge. There is one small rath near the Nore.

Folksrath, Rath Fhuile, Fulc or Folco’s rath. Area 357 acres. The castle (now An Oige hostel) and lands belonged to the De La Freney’s in the 15th century. A pattern was held formerly at a well called Sruth na ceardcha and a ford on the stream was called Ath na ceardcha. There are two wells called Tobar an chrainn and Tobar na gcardalai, well of the gossips. Chatting at the well was always a custom in Ireland. George’s Tree at the south-west extremity is a well-known landmark.

Lismaine, Lios Mhughain,Mughan’s liss. Area 317 acres. It is recorded that Mughan, daughter of Cucraigh, King of Munster ,circa 520 A.D. is buried here, though the name may simply be Lios Mean, the middle liss. Lissmaine ruined Purcell castle stands overlooking the Nore on the east bank. The Moin- een is the name of the road from Lismaine bridge to Three­ castles. There is one rath and two others destroyed in 1860 according to Carrigan’s Notes. Fields are Gleann a ri (O) and Pairc an fhasaigh, field of the lush grass.

Shanganny, Seanganach,abounding in ants. Area 420 acres. This townland is also recorded in the Petty Sessions District lists (1896) in both Grangemacomb and Mayne parishes. The derivation is doubtful. Coolaraheen church ruins is south-west of Shanganny castle site on the opposite side of the road. The base of the old church baptismal font was removed to Conahy chapel yard. Mointin is field here.

Swiftsheath, Ban Roibin,Robin’s bawn. Area 593 acres. It is also recorded as Ban Roibineid, little Robin’s bawn. An ancient graveyard site is still called the Reilig field, and human bones have been unearthed here. Fields are Ban Roibin; Cur­ rach; Garrai Dhiarmada; Gleann an mhuilinn, valley of the mill and Gort phuicin, field of the little sprite, recorded in Carri­ gan’s Notes. 37 DONAGHMORE PARISH

Ballymartin, Baile Mhartain, M artin’s homestead. Area 875 acres. It is recorded also as Rath Mhartain. Carrigan states that the ancient church called Killoonagh (probably Cill Una, Winifred’s church) and the churchyard were levelled in 1840. Only green mounds mark the castle site and these are in the castle field. Other fields are Bearna dhearg, a red gap; Cnoc ban; Cnoc beag; Mointean and Poll Phiarais, Pierce’s hollow.

Ballynalacken, Baile na leicean, place of the hill-slopes. Area 938 acres. Ballinvalla is a subdivision and Cromwell’s Road runs through the townland at height of 1,027’. Caislean 0 Miodhchain is given by Carrigan, and fields are Currach; Gleann doimhin; Gleann na ceardcha, and Moinean.

Ballyragget, Beal Atha Ragad, Ragget’s ford-mouth. Area 724 acres with 24 ac. in Ballyragget town. The surname Ragget is listed among the ten Civic Families in Kilkenny, prominent in medieval times as recorded in the fol­ lowing couplet:- “Archdekin, Archer, Cowley, Langton, Lea, Knaresborough, Lawless, Ragget, Rothe and Shea.” The ancient name was Tullabarry, translating Tulach O mBairrche, mound of the O Bairrche tribe, which is located in Moatpark townland. The Raggets were early settlers here after the Anglo-Norman invasion and their stronghold is recorded as Ballyragget as early as 1220. It was a Doctor Patrick Ragget who was deputed by William Petty to undertake the surveying and mapping of North Kilkenny and Ormonde for the Down Survey in 1639 “as he was already conversant with these parts.” Bally­ ragget castle with rounded turrets complete with wishing chair and sunken bawn was built in 1495 and is ascribed to Maighread Ni Ghearoid, the turbulent countess of the Mountgarret family according to legend. Dr. James Butler (died 1791) was author of Butler’s catechism. His brother, Robert Butler, built Butler House, now the business premises on the Square of Messrs. Cantwell and Holohan. He also built the old R.C. chapel in 1774 and Ballyragget Lodge which is now a Sisters of Mercy convent. Very Rev. Edmond Cavanagh was parish priest of the parish from 1729 to 1761 and on his death Father Seamus Lawlor wrote a lament entitled Marbhna an Athar Eamoinn Caomhanaigh in the 18th century Aisling style. In 1775 the Whiteboy Society siege of the village occurred. There is one rath and a well called Tobar an Mhoinin. Fields are Cnocan; Cnoc breac; Moinin leathan and Tuairin, a green. 38 Coole, Cuil, a land angle. Area 145 acres.

Other fields are Maoilin, a little bare hill, and Easca, a slough. Finan, Fionnan, a place of long whitish grass. Area 567 acres. Teampall Fhionnain stood between the old and the new roads to Castlecomer and was uprooted to make a water-course.

MUCKALEE PARISH

Clogharinka, Cloch an rinnce,stone or stone building of the dancing. Area 520 acres. In the Ordnance Survey Letters 1832/’39 O’Donovan gives Cloch an Roinnte, a stone denoting a land division, from a division made by Diarmaid Reagh Mac Carthy. Carrigan disputes this comparing it with Webbsborough and thinks it is the stone of the dancing. Breacach, speckled land, and Coill an tsagairt, the priest’s wood, ar subdivisions. Cloghrinka castle, in ruins, is north of Muckalee R.C. church, national school and creamery, which are in this townland. Fields are Cnocan, Cnocan an Aif- rinn; Leaca rua, a red-soil slope, and Poll an tairbh, the bull’s hollow.

Coolraheen, Cuil raithin,angle of the little rath. Area 189 acres. This townland adjoins Coolraheen North and South which are listed on the Index of Townlands in Mothell parish. Judge James Comerford, President of the Central Criminal Court, New York, and an I.R.A. veteran, is a native of this townland. Fields are the Cruachan; Droimin; Drom rua; Garrai Hickey; Gort na graige, field of the hamlet; the Glaises which are two meadows by the stream, and Moin ailte, bogland of the ravine.

Crossybrennan, Crosa Bhreanain,Brendan’s crosses. Area 26 acres. This name refers to St. Brendan of Birr (Offaly). In an article in the Ecclesiastical Record, 1950, the late Risteard 0 Foghlu, D.Litt., Director of the Folklore Commission, describes how St. Finbar remained here for some time on his journey from Muns­ ter to Baile Mac Lachtna, now Kellymount, Gowran barony, to receive his early education at the abbey there. 50 Gaulstown, Baile Gall, Gaul’s homestead. Area 483 acres. The Moat of Gaulstown at 600’, a fine earthen structure and prominent landmark, was levelled by a new land-owner in 1962, much to the disappointment of everyone interested in the pre­ servation of relics of our ancient past. The site of Gaulstown castle is known as the Old street field. Other fields are Drom Chait, Cait’s hill-back, and Drom Damh, hill-back of the oxen.

Knockmajor, Cnoc an mhaigir,the major’s hill. Area 8/6 acres. The major referred to was Major Tony Purcell, early 18th cen­ tury. It is also known locally as Snow Hill and given in O’Dono­ van’s Letters as Mileadhach without translation. Sui Fhinn, also called the Moat is the highest point at 960’. A field hollow east of Muckalee chapel called Gleann Fhionnain, Finan’s hollow, is the site of a Mass flag. Other fields are Ban glas; the Clais; Cnocan; Drom rua; Gallach (0), Moin bheag; Pairc narn (O), and Pairc na himeartha, the sports field.

M uckalee. Area 1,125 acres. The derivation of the name is in doubt and Irish phonetic spellings in documents are not helpful. Local topographists favour Magh-thulaighe, a hill plain. Magh is usually pronounced and written Moy in English but the first element is locally pro­ nounced Muck. The old roadway running south from Muckalee is still known as Bothar na muc, road of the swine, also a field called Gort na muc. The ancient ruined church of Muckalee and churchyard are south of the road junction near the Gauls­ town border. There is a tumulus site near the present R.C. church and human bones were unearthed here. A Fulacht Fiadh was unearthed in 1955 in Tom Hoyne’s farm in Webbs­ borough/Muckalee district during Land Project operations. Tobar cabtin is a well name difficult of derivation. The reser­ voir for Kilkenny city water supply is located in this townland south of the Douglas river at height of 450’. Fields are the Easca; Banog; Beitin; Cabhaillns, old house remains; Caiseal; Caitheamh siar; Ceasach, a bog roadway; Cnoc na madral, dog or foxes’ hill; the Croman, a hill hump; Cruacha, peaks; Culog, a back hill; Curragh; Faiche (the site of a holy well according to Carrigan’s Notes); Gleann ard; Gort na muc; Leaca, a slope; Li'onan, a place of the small flaxplant; Moin chaol; Mullan; Seanghort; Sean Rua’s field, and Seise, sedgy land.

Tomascotha, Tuaim an scotha, burial place of the land or field projec­ tion. Area 37 acres. This small townland adjoins the equally small townland of Crossybrennan, both intersected by the main Kilkenny/Castle­ comer road, north of Webbsborough. Both must have been a centre of religious importance in early Christian times, yet there are no historical records available other than St. Finbar’s sojourn at Crossybrennan on his way to Kilmacahill. 51 Wildfield, Mullan odhar,a brown hill. Area 491 acres. There are two townlands of Wildfield adjoining, one in this parish and the other listed on the Index of Townlands in Kil­ madum parish, Gowran Barony. Rockbrook House with mill and mill race on the Dubhghlaise, the black stream, is on the Gauls­ town border. Fields are the Caitheamh siar; Pairc bhan; P&irc na mbo; the Sugar field and the handkerchief field!

RATHASPIC PARISH

(This parish does not give its name to any townland within the barony). Kill, Cill, a church. Area 330 acres. This townland is east of the Clogh river on the Laois border. There is no reference in Carrigan’s History to this church. Local inhabitants could not give any information as to its location. Toortan, Tuartan, a holm. Area 307 acres. This townland also adjoins the Clogh river on the east bank.

RATHBEAGH PARISH

Knockroe, Cnoc rua,a red-soil hill. Area 354 acres. There is a rath in the middle of the townland and a pond west of the railway called Lough Fewer. In Carrigan’s Notes he gives Cnocan an chuig mhile, and Gleann an airm, the army hollow, traditionally held as where Owen Roe O’Neill’s army bivouacked on its way to Kilkenny circa 1642. The hill may mean the hill of the five thousand men, if connected with the army encamp­ m ent here.

ROSCONNEL PARISH (Ros Chonaill Ui Mhordha, Conall O Moore’s land-point is the title given in the Ordnance Survey Letters. The parish does not give its name to any townland).

Castlemarket, Caislean an mhargaidh,castle of the market. Area 670 acres. Tobar Mhuire, Our Lady’s well, at which a pattern is held on August 15th and well patronised during the octave is near the Laois border. Rosconnell ancient church in ruins, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, is near Rosconnell bridge on the Owveg river which joins the Nore at Russelstown. An Ormonde castle stood on a high moat in the Cruachan field. Both castle and moat were destroyed in 1800 according to Carrigan. Battle Stone bridge is mentioned in documents dated 1561 as Bearna Cloich Comhraic, battle stone gap, traditionally held as being the scene of a battle between the O’Brennan’s and the 52 O’Moore’s of Laois. A progressive high-school called Castle­ m arket Academy was established in 1810 by a Mr. Jerem iah Bren nan but only continued for a decade due to lack of finance. There is a rath in a field called the Raithin lia, the little grey rath, where ancient silver coins were unearthed. Other fields are the Castle field; the Courthouse field; the Inse, a holm, Lady’s well field; Poll na mbric, the brick hollow, and the Tulach. Earlsgarden—Translation, area and landmarks are entered under At­ tanagh Parish in which it is recorded. Loughill, Leamhchoill,an elm wood. Area 1,082 acres. The following ecclesiastical ruins are within a few fields of each other south of the road running parallel to the Laois bor­ der:- St. Chadden’s ancient church and churchyard; a nunnery, and Loughill monastery of which it is recorded that Finan Corach, i.e. Finan the Just, was abbot in the 6th century. There is a spa well near the nunnery ruins. Cromwell’s Road coming directly from the Seven Cross-roads at Toormore meets this road at Loughill bridge. Fields are the Easca; Cum an chaisil, hollow of the cashel; Poll and chapaill, the horse’s hollow; the Spa well field, and Tiobraid, a spring. GALMOY BARONY The present name is a phonetic translation of Gabhal Magh, the plain of the Gabhal or branching river which flows south-westwards from Laois through the middle of the barony. The area comprises 40,236 acres and stretches from the west bank of the river Nore at Ballyconra townland to the Tipperary border and from Tincashel town­ land south of Urlingford to the Laois border. The eastern portion is hilly, rising to a height of 900’ at Frankfort townland; the north­ western portion is flat and partly marsh land. The rock formation is sandstone and roughly all the area is good tillage and pasture land. There are few megalithic remains but numerous raths except in the flat western area. There is only one communal settlement site but other place-names known as “the old street” were most probably old village sites. ERRATA
