   Knockbarry means Cnoc a' Barraig [?] or the hill of the Barry's. It was so called because the land around it belonged to the Barry's.
   Buttevant and the River Awbeg which flows beside the town are mentioned by the English poet Spencer. He speaks of the Awbeg as "the gentle Mulla."
   "Mulla, the daughter of the Mole so hight.
   The Nimph, which of that water course hath
   T change
   That, springing out of Mole, doth run down
   right
   To Buttevant, where, spreading forth at large,
   It giveth name upon the ancient Cittie
   Which Kilnamullagh cleped is of old."

   Verse composed about Buttevant by Windsor Forest:-
   "The levelled town with weeds lies covered o'er
   Tho' hollow winds through naked temples roar
   Round broken columns clasping ivy twin'd
   O'er heaps of ruin stalk'd the stately hind.
   The fox obscene to gaping tombs retires,
   And savage howlings fill the sacred choirs."
