    Caheradrinan.18.1.-'38
    Caherdrinan is a fort or dun situated between Clarenbridge and Oranmore. This village derived its name from a fort of Black-Thorn-Bushes and others say it got its name from the O'Drinans who lived in a fort there,and it appears that they were judges.They afterwards lived at Ardragree near Kinvara.
