    name of guaire used to live there and the people called the place after his castle, that is how it got its name.
    About two mile from Kinvarra there is a village called Crushoa. There was a cross on the wallat the entrance of the village. The people heard the English were coming to take the cross so they took it down and hid it in the ground. That is how the village got the name of Crushoa.
    All the places are situated in the townland of Kinvarra, the barony of Kiltartan and the county of galway.
