  1. LÁR TIGHE DHOMHNAILL
    Translated by Mr. Sheehan is " the middle of Donal's house". On pointing out to him that it could be "Láthair Tighe Dhomhnaill" - "the place of Donal's House" he agreed that it was probable. "Lár Tighe Dhómaill" is a field which "Domhnall na mBa Maol" lived. This Domhnall was supposed to have been very rich and to have buried his money in this field.

  2. "GLEANN NA nBRÁTHAR".
    "Friars Glen". A glen between Baurleigh and Barleyfield ( Gort na hEornan ), running north and south. On the eastern slope of the glen a rough table has been cut in the rock. This is known as "The Mass Rock", and between it and the stream which runs through the middle of the glen is a green level patch where the people knelt during Mass. Both rock and level ground are now covered with briars. In Penal times Mass was celebrated here.
