    fights followed until the White Knight contrived to reach his reserves at Garrangibbon. Being still hotly pursued by the Butlers, he made a stand at Garrangibbon with the whole body of is followers and made such a display of strength that the Butlers prudently but reluctantly decided to give up the pursuit and return home.
    The place where the White Knight left his reserves was part of the lands of Killballygorman. It contained at this time a thick copse or wood and since then the place has been called Garrangibbon which means Gibbon's Grove.
