   The portion of Castletown extending from Sceach to Newtown Bridge, and, thence to about 300 yds. below Barry's mill, is called Bawnalingawn, or the Field stretching along by the Ling-awn river. There was an old village here.

   Ballycastlane - "Ballycastlane Ho." has been so called only in recent times, the name being merely a modern revial of Baile a' Caisleáig, the Irish name of the whole townland of Castletown.
