    Proinnsías Ua Fathaig - Carrig Mór

    Dróichidín:
    An old woman once lived in a little house about a mile from Ballyporeen. When she died her house fell into a ruin. This woman's name was Mary Hunt. Dróichidín is the name of the townland and it gets its name from a little streamlet nearby.

    Carrigmore:
    This townland gets its name from a huge rock overlooking Shanbally lake. The hill is called The Thurret Rock.

    Scative, meaning a while
    Bogán, meaning a soft egg
    Glugair, meaning bad egg
