    Cromanes now called Charlesfield means the land of the hips. It was called Charlesfield after a protestant named Sir Charles who lived there.
    The right name for Father Murphy's Bridge on the Glen river is Átha Gaidaidhe which means the ford of the robbery, because some robbery was done there.
    Aba na Gluigin means the river of the sculls because the stones at the bed of the river appear like human skulls when looked at through the water.
    Tureen means a very lonely valley and Currargue means the level plane.
