  2. Until 1846 and 1847, there was a string of houses from where Coll's cottage now stands at Ballyoran, Castlelyons, Co. Cork, over to the end of Ahern's brake, Ballyoran. Near the end of the brake there is a well. In front of the well there is a stone. Then there is an arch built over it. In this line there are heights and hollows which are now covered with briars.
